/CNW/ -
Libero Copper
& Gold Corporation (TSX-V: LBC, OTCQB:
LBCMF)
is pleased to announce that due to strong investor demand, it has increased its previously
announced non-brokered private placement consisting of: (i) Units ("
Unit
") at a price of
C$0.10
per
Unit (the "
NFT Unit Offering
"); (ii) Units at a price of
C$0.15
per Unit (the "
Super FT Unit
Offering
") and (iii) Units at a price of
C$0.11
per Unit (the "
FT Unit Offering
" and together with the
NFT Unit Offering and Super FT Unit Offering, the "
Offering
") for gross aggregate proceeds of
$4
million
.
"This significantly oversubscribed financing was very well supported by insiders, existing
shareholders and several new institutional shareholders fully funding the 2020 drill program at Big
Red," comments
Ian Slater
, Chief Executive Officer. "The upsized financing provides us confidence
to implement a robust exploration program during the upcoming field season commencing in June."
Eventus Capital Corp. is acting as a finder in connection with a portion of the Offering.
Each Unit consists of one Common Share ("
Common Share
") and one Common Share purchase
Warrant ("
Warrant
"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share for a period
of 24 months from closing at a price of
C$0.15
. If the closing price of the Common Shares is at a
price equal to or greater than
$0.20
for a period of 10 consecutive trading days, Libero will have the
right to accelerate the expiry date of the warrants by giving notice, via a new release, to the holders
of the Warrants that the Warrants will expire on the date that is 30 days after the issuance of said
news release.
Common Shares issued under the Super FT Unit Offering and FT Unit Offering qualify as 'flow
through shares' ("
Flow Through Shares
"). The gross proceeds from the Super FT Unit Offering
and FT unit Offering will be used to incur 'Canadian exploration expenses' that will qualify as 'flow
through mining expenditures' as those terms are defined in the
Income Tax Act
which will be
renounced to the initial purchasers of the Flow Through Shares.
The net proceeds of the Offering will be used for drilling the Ridge high grade gold target at Big Red
and general working capital purposes. A finder's fee of 6% is payable on a portion of the Offering.
Closing of the Offering is expected on or about
May 13, 2020
and is subject to approval of the TSX
Venture Exchange.
