Cranbrook, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:EPL), (the Company) has closed a brokered and non-brokered public offering as announced on February 7th, 2018, subject to regulatory approval. The financing was offered to arms-length and non-arms length investors and was comprised of 2,084,000 non-flow-through units and 2,350,000 flow-through units for a total issuance of 4,434,000 shares and gross proceeds of CDN $980,800.

 

Non-flow-through units were sold at a price of $.20 CDN per unit, each unit consisting of a non-flow-through common share and one non-flow-through common share purchase warrant, each whole warrant exercisable at $.40 CDN for a 24 month period.  Flow-through units were sold at a price of $.24 CDN per unit, each unit consisting of a flow-through common share and a non-flow-through common share purchase warrant, each whole warrant exercisable at $.40 CDN for a 24 month period.  All issued securities are subject to a hold period expiring June 8th, 2018.

 

The common share purchase warrants are subject to an accelerated expiry at the option of the Company if the published closing trade price of the common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange is greater than or equal to $.50 for any 20 consecutive trading days, in which event the holder may be given notice that the warrants will expire 30 days following the date of such notice. The common share purchase warrants may be exercised by the holder during the 30 day period between the notice and the expiration of the common share purchase warrants.

 

A 7% commission or finders fee will be paid to certain registered dealers or arms-length third parties involved in the financing.

 

Proceeds from the sale of units will be used to fund exploration of the company's various projects in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Yukon and for general working capital. Certain funds will also be allocated to cover expenses related to the proposed spin-out of Taiga Gold Corp. (details below). Funds earmarked for exploration will qualify as Canadian exploration expenses as defined in the Income Tax Act and will be renounced for the 2018 taxation year.
