Skeena Resources Limited (TSX.V: SKE, OTCQX: SKREF) (“Skeena” or the “Company” - https://www.commodity-tv.com/play/skeena-resources-buying-option-from-barrick-gold-until-end-of-2020/ ) is pleased to announce that today it has closed the first tranche of the non-brokered private placement offering (the “Offering”) announced on March 10, 2020. Skeena collected gross proceeds of approximately C$15 million from the sale of 13,000,000 BC super-flow-through shares at a price of C$1.155 per share.
Due to strong demand for flow-through shares from outside of British Columbia, the Company has upsized the offering to C$30 million and has added a National flow-through component at $1.05 per share. The Company expects to close the balance of the Offering in mid-April.
The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to fund exploration activities on the Company’s projects in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia. The closing of the Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange. The securities issued under the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period in Canada expiring four months and one day from each closing date.
This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.
