THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO THE UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES. ANY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF U.S. SECURITIES LAWS.
September 15, 2022, Vancouver, B.C.: VR Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: VRR; FSE: 5VR; OTCQB: VRRCF), (the “Company” or “VR”), announces a non‐brokered flow‐through private placement (the “Financing”) in order to confirm funds for a drill program planned for next month on its Hecla‐Kilmer Critical Metals discovery in northern Ontario.
The Financing will consist of 5,000,000 units (the “Units”) at a price of $0.18 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to $900,000. Each Unit will consist of one flow through common share of the Company (a “Flow Through Share”) and one‐half of a non‐ flow through common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder to acquire one additional non‐flow through common share of the Company (a “Common Share”) at an exercise price of $0.25 per Common Share for a period of 18 months from the closing date (“Closing Date”) of the Financing. The Company may pay up to a 6% cash finder’s fee to a party arm’s length to Company in connection with the Financing.
VR will use the gross proceeds of the Financing for mineral exploration on its Hecla‐Kilmer property in northern Ontario, and more specifically for a drill program planned for this fall on its Hecla‐Kilmer critical metals discovery in northern Ontario. This is now considered delineation drilling at this stage. The specific objective is to complete follow‐up drill holes on the 247 metre intersection of 1.01 % TREO starting at surface in Hole 13 completed in May, and in two other areas located 1.5 and 2.5 kilometers to the south, respectively, with grades of up to 3.3% TREO locally.
The follow up drill program is set to commence three weeks from now, in early October. The camp site at Otter Rapids is already in‐place and ready, established for the Company’s previous drill programs at Hecla‐Kilmer, and largely unchanged because of its ideal location with regard to rail, highway and grid power infrastructure just 23 km to the east of the project (see camp photograph from 2021 in Figure 1).
The Closing Date for the Financing is expected to occur on or before September 23, 2022. The Financing is subject to all regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The securities issued in connection with this Financing will be subject to a four‐month hold period from the Closing Date.
The securities have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the “United States” or to “U.S. persons” (as such terms are defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) without registration under the U.S. Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws or compliance with an exemption from such registration. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
