Quetzal Copper Corp. (TSXV: Q) (‘Quetzal’ or the ‘Company’) announces a non-brokered private placement (the ‘Offering’) for aggregate gross proceeds of up to C$3,000,000, from the sale of the following:
up to 6,666,666 units of the Company (the ‘Units‘) at a price of C$0.15 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to C$1,000,000 from the sale of Units; and
up to 11,764,705 flow through units of the Company (the ‘FT Units‘) at a price of C$0.17 per FT Unit for gross proceeds of up to C$2,000,000 from the sale of FT Units. Each FT Share will be issued as a ‘flow-through share’ within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada).
Each Unit and FT Unit issued under the Offering shall consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a ‘Common Share‘) and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a ‘Warrant‘). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.25 per Common Share for a period of 24 months from the closing of the Offering (the ‘Closing‘).
The Offered Securities will be offered by way of the ‘accredited investor’ exemption under National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions in all the provinces of Canada.
The Offered Securities will be subject to a statutory hold period in Canada ending on the date that is four months plus one day following the closing date of the Offering.
The Units may also be sold in offshore jurisdictions and in the United States on a private placement basis pursuant to one or more exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the ‘U.S. Securities Act‘), as amended.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of Units for exploration and development activities and general corporate purposes. The gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Shares will be used by the Company to incur eligible ‘Canadian exploration expenses’ that will qualify as ‘flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures’ as such terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the ‘Qualifying Expenditures‘) related to the Company’s Princeton and Dot projects in British Columbia, Canada. All Qualifying Expenditures will be renounced in favour of the subscribers of the FT Shares effective December 31, 2024.
The Offering is scheduled to close on or around December 18, 2024, and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, receipt of all necessary approvals including the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange (the ‘TSXV‘). A cash commission and finder’s warrants may be paid to arm’s length finders on a portion of the Offering. The Unit Shares, FT Shares and Warrant Shares will be subject to a hold period ending on the date that is four months plus one day following the issue date of such securities under applicable Canadian securities laws.
In connection with the Offering, Quetzal Copper also announces that the Company has terminated the brokered private placement for gross proceeds of up to C$3,000,000 as announced on November 18, 2024.
