/CNW/ -
Capella Minerals Ltd
(TSXV: CMIL) (OTCQB: CMILF)
(FRA: N7D2) ("Capella" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a corporate update and non-
brokered financing concurrently with share consolidation. Capella will focus on its
Northern Finland
gold-copper projects and the advanced exploration-stage Hessjøgruva copper-cobalt-zinc project in
central
Norway
, having streamlined its portfolio through the divestiture of non-core assets in the
Americas.
Capella also entered in to a strategic partnership with Teako Minerals Corp. ("Teako")(CSE: TMIN)
to explore and drill the Løkken copper-cobalt-zinc project in central
Norway
(see Company News
Release dated
August 19, 2024
). Subject to final permit approvals, Teako currently expects to
initiate first-pass drilling on the Åmot target in Q1, 2025.
The Company wishes to raise sufficient funds to scout drill the Killerö E target, the former
Anglo
American
gold-copper target located in the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt ("CLGB") of
Northern
Finland
. At present, high interest exists for the discovery of orogenic gold-copper deposits in the
CLGB, which currently hosts a world-class producing gold mine and a development-stage gold
project. The Killerö E gold-copper target is broadly located on a NE-trending splay that cross-cuts
the highly-prospective Sirkka Thrust Zone, which is host to a number of successful gold exploration
projects. The Killerö E property is fully permitted and drill-ready, and full subscription to the financing
will allow the planned drill program to proceed.
The Company has secured commitment for participation from a major gold producer as well as
support from its Board of Directors.
Share Consolidation and Financing
In order to provide a solid foundation for the advancement of the priority Killerö E & W targets
(historical "base of till" gold-copper geochemical anomalies) and the Saattopora W target (western
extension of the former Outokumpu Oy Saattapora gold-copper mine) in the CLGB, the Company
wishes to announce that its Board of Directors has approved a consolidation of its common shares
on the basis of one new common share for every six outstanding shares (6 old:1 new).
In addition, Capella's Board of Directors has approved a non-brokered private placement of up to
15,000,000 units ("Units") at
$0.05
per Unit to raise gross proceeds of up to
$750,000
on a post-
consolidated basis, with possibility to expand. Each Unit shall consist of one post-consolidated share
and one-half of one share purchase warrant, each whole warrant entitling the holder to acquire an
additional post-consolidated share, at a price of
$0.10
per post-consolidated share for a period of
two years from date of issuance. Gross proceeds of up to
$750,000
will be used for advancing the
Company's Scandinavian projects and general working capital.
Furthermore, both the Company's Directors and Management have taken positive steps to contain
cash costs and to reduce staff payables with some staff participating in this raise on a debt for
shares exchange on the same terms as this financing excluding the warrant.
These transactions will be subject to Exchange acceptance, and finder's fees may be paid in
accordance with TSX Venture Exchange guidelines. All securities issued pursuant to the private
placement will be subject to a regulatory four month hold period trading restriction.
