Industry legends Robert Friedland and Rob McEwen joined with several other leading mining investors, including CVMR Inc. and Terra Capital, to provide the investor buyback of the FT Units financing for Power Nickel.
"Power Nickel is grateful for the support of some of the leading investors in mining. Like us, they believe Nisk has exceptional exploration upside. With this capital, we will be able to substantially increase our already very successful exploration efforts. We currently have one drilling rig targeting the extension of the Lion Zone and soon we will have a second rig advancing the exploration program developed by our team, with substantial guidance from Dr. Steve Beresford. It is a very exciting time for our shareholders, stakeholders, and staff," commented CEO Terry Lynch.
The Company worked with Wealth Creation Preservation & Donation Inc. and IA Capital Markets on the financing front end and used advisory services of Red Cloud Securities Inc. and H&P Advisory Limited in connection with the Offering. Back-end purchasers acquired the underlying common shares and Warrants from the front-end buyers of the FT Units, at $0.66 per common share and half-Warrant (combined).
The Company will use the gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Units for exploration activities on the Company's Nisk property located in Quebec and to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses", within the meaning of the ITA, that will qualify for the federal 30-per-cent critical mineral exploration tax credit.
The Offering is subject to the Company's final filing requirements with the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") approval. All securities issued under the financing are subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance.
