CopAur Minerals Announces Warrant Repricing
News Release ‐ Vancouver, British Columbia – October 11, 2022: Copur Minerals Inc. (“CopAur” or the “Company”) (TSX‐V: CPAU) (OTCQB:COPAF) announces that it intends to amend the terms (the “Amendments”) of an aggregate of 12,625,008 outstanding share purchase warrants (the “Historical Warrants”), in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”). The Historical Warrants were originally issued by CopAur, or CopAur’s wholly owned subsidiary New Placer Dome Gold Corp. (“NGLD”), which was formerly a TSXV listed issuer before its acquisition by CopAur pursuant to a plan of arrangement (see CopAur news release disseminated on May 13, 2022 regarding the closing of the acquisition of NGLD, available on SEDAR).
The Historical Warrants were issued pursuant to private placements by CopAur completed on May 27, 2021, November 9, 2021, and March 2, 2022, and an NGLD private placement completed on June 2, 2020. Pursuant to the Amendment, the exercise price of all the Historical Warrants will be reduced to $1.02 and the expiry of the Historical Warrants will become subject to an accelerated expiry provision providing for the exercise period of the Historical Warrants to be reduced to 30 days if, for any ten consecutive trading days during the unexpired term of the Historical Warrants, the closing price of the common shares of CopAur on the TSXV exceeds $1.22 (a “Premium Trading Period”). The 30‐day expiry period will commence on the day that CopAur disseminates a news release announcing the accelerated expiry period, or if CopAur does not disseminate a new release, then the accelerated expiry period will automatically start seven days after completion of the Premium Trading Period.
Jeremy Yaseniuk, Chief Executive Officer of CopAur, commented, “We believe that a reduction of exercise prices of the Historical Warrants will provide an excellent opportunity for existing investors holding Historical Warrants to continue to participate in the ongoing financing and future growth and development of the Company’s projects in Nevada and British Columbia. At the amended exercise price of $1.02, the Historical warrants could generate up to $12.8 million in working capital if all Historical Warrants are exercised. We encourage all holders of Historical Warrants to provide their consent to the proposed Amendments.”
The Amendments described above are subject to approval by the holders of the Historical Warrants and by the TSXV.
