Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - June 12, 2024 – Rackla Metals Inc. (TSX-V: RAK) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed the final tranche (the “Final Tranche”) of its previously announced private placement financing (the “Offering”), raising $2,906,184 with the issuance of 5,966,534 hard-dollar units (the “HD Units”) at $0.15 each and 11,830,611 flow-through units (the “FT Units”) at $0.17 each. Combined with the proceeds from the charity flow-through tranche of the Offering which closed on May 30, 2024, the Company has raised total gross proceeds of $4,656,184, of which $3,761,204 is flow-through funds.
Each unit issued in the Final Tranche consists of one common share of the Company and one warrant which entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.20 until June 11, 2025. The common share in each FT Unit qualifies as a “flow-through share” within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada).
The flow-through proceeds received by the Company from the Offering will be used to incur eligible “Canadian exploration expenses” that qualify as Canadian exploration expenses and “flow-through mining expenditures” for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) on or before December 31, 2025 (or such other period as may be permissible under applicable tax legislation).
Management intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for conducting exploration and drilling on the Company’s Tombstone Gold Belt properties within the Selwyn Basin in the coming year, and for continuing investigations of additional mineral properties for acquisition. As well, proceeds from the sale of the HD Units may be used for general working capital and corporate purposes.
Simon Ridgway, CEO commented: “We are pleased to close this upsized financing and express our appreciation for the participation by our current shareholders and also welcome new shareholders, including new investors from Europe. Company geologists will be mobilizing to camp June 13 and the drill will be turning the first week of July. The Company is excited to be testing Reduced Intrusion-Related Gold System (RIRGS) mineralization at the HIT and Peak targets.”
In connection with the Offering, the Company has paid finder’s fees totalling $89,613 cash and 545,247 finder’s warrants with the same terms as the Unit warrants described above. The securities issued in the Final Tranche are subject to a resale restriction until October 12, 2024. The Offering remains subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
As one of the placees is deemed to be a “related party” to the Company, the Offering constitutes a “related party transaction” within the meaning of TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company has relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101.
