,
Nov. 29, 2021
/CNW/ -
Coast Copper Corp. ("Coast Copper" or the
"Company")
(TSXV: COCO)
(formerly Roughrider Exploration Limited) is pleased to announce that
it has completed its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the "
Offering
") (see
news releases dated
November 5, 2021
and
November 16, 2021
), issuing 8,961,539 flow-through
units (the "
FT Units
") at an issue price of
$0.13
per FT Unit and issuing 5,000,000 non flow-through
units (the "
NFT Units
") at an issue price of
$0.10
per NFT Unit for gross proceeds of
$1,665,000
.
Each FT Unit consists of one common share, on a FT eligible basis, in the capital of Coast Copper
and one-half of one non-transferable common share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant
entitling the holder to acquire an additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of
$0.15
per share with an expiry date ("
Expiry Date
") of
May 25, 2023
. If, at any time after
completion, the volume weighted average trading price of Coast Copper's common shares on the
TSX Venture Exchange (the "
Exchange
"), or other principal exchange on which the common shares
are listed, is greater than
$0.225
for 10 consecutive trading days, the Company may, at its option,
deliver a notice to the holders of the warrants accelerating the Expiry Date to the date that is 30
days following the date of such notice (the "
Accelerated Exercise Period
"). Concurrent with the
giving of such notice, the Company will also issue a press release disclosing the Accelerated
Exercise Period. Any unexercised warrants shall automatically expire at the end of the Accelerated
Exercise Period. Each NFT Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company and
one-half of one non-transferable common share purchase warrant, with the warrants having the
same terms as the warrants associated with the FT units.
Finders acting in connection with the Offering received aggregate cash fees of
$60,960
and a total
of 517,385 finders' warrants, with the warrants having the same terms as those in the Offering. The
Offering remains subject to the final approval of the Exchange. All securities issued in the Offering
will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and a day from the Offering's closing date.
The gross proceeds raised from the issuance of FT Units will be used by Coast Copper to incur
eligible Canadian exploration expenses ("
CEE
") that will qualify as FT mining expenditures as such
terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (
Canada
) related to the Company's projects in
British
Columbia
. The Company will renounce such CEE with an effective date of no later than
December
31, 2021
, with CEE to be incurred prior to
December 31, 2022
. The net proceeds from the issuance
of NFT Units will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
One director and one officer of the Company participated in the Offering for an aggregate of
314,961 FT Units. The participation by insiders in the private placement is considered to be a
related-party transaction as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101. The transaction is exempt
from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101, as neither
the fair market value of the securities being issued nor the consideration being paid exceeds 25% of
the Company's market capitalization.
The Company also wishes to announce that it has received a cash payment of
$25,000
from
Goldplay Mining Inc. ("
Goldplay
") and 365,817 common shares of Goldplay. The receipt of cash
and shares, together with Goldplay having completed its first-year work program commitment of
$200,000
, satisfies Goldplay's first year commitment pursuant to a farm-out agreement on the
Company's Scottie West property, whereby Goldplay has an option to acquire up to a 70% interest
in the property (see news release dated
November 23, 2020
).
Adam Travis
, Company CEO and Directors comments:
"we are very grateful for the continued
support of many existing shareholders that participated in the financing and welcome several new
shareholders. I'm very excited for the advancement of the Coast Copper project portfolio and
putting these funds to work. We also would like to wish Goldplay continued success on the Scottie
West property. The Company is entering a busy and very exciting time, and we are looking forward
to it"
