NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR THROUGH U.S. NEWS WIRES
Tribeca Resources Corporation (TSXV: TRBC) (OTCQB: TRRCF) (“Tribeca Resources”, the “Company”) is pleased to announce that, further to the news releases dated July 11, 2023 and July 24, 2023, it has now closed the second and final tranche of an oversubscribed non-brokered private placement (the “Private Placement”). Together with the first tranche, Tribeca Resources raised gross proceeds of C$3,309,863.
In connection with the final tranche, the Company raised gross proceeds of $503,488 via the sale of Units consisting of one common share of the Company (a "Common Share") and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one additional Common Share at an exercise price of C$0.55 for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance of the Warrant, subject to certain acceleration provisions described below.
No finder’s fees were paid in connection with the final tranche of the Private Placement.
The proceeds of the Private Placement will be used to advance the Company's La Higuera Project, for wider business development activities and general corporate purposes, as the Board of Directors of the Company may approve and direct.
Tribeca Resources CEO, Dr Paul Gow commented:
“We are very pleased with the response to our financing. The quality of investors we have been able to attract are, we believe, the result of the significant exploration potential at our La Higuera copper-gold project.”
“With a treasury of over C$4M Tribeca is now fully funded for what will be an exciting Phase 2 drill program at the project. "
"Our plan to test the open extensions at the Gaby discovery, and potentially to include additional drill-ready targets at La Higuera, means we are well placed to make the upcoming period a rewarding one for our shareholders."
All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement, including the Common Shares issued in consideration for services rendered in connection with introducing the Company to investors, are subject to a four month hold period from the closing date of the respective tranche of the Private Placement. If for a period of ten consecutive trading days between the date that is four (4) months following the closing of the Private Placement and the expiry of the Warrants, the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (or such other exchange on which the Common Shares may principally trade at such time) is greater than C$0.75 per share, then upon the Company disseminating a press release, the expiry date of the Warrants will automatically accelerate, and the Warrants will expire on the 30th day following the date on which such press release is disseminated.
Closing of the Private Placement is subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals and final acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.
The subscription of an insider of the Company in the Private Placement accounted for $19,999.98 or approximately 0.60% of the total gross proceeds. Participation by such insider was exempt from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”) by virtue of the exemptions contained in Section 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(b) of MI 61-101.
