Laurion Provides Update on Previously-Announced Private Placement of Flow-Through Units
/THIS NEWS RELEASE IS INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION IN CANADA ONLY AND IS NOT INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES./
TORONTO, Nov. 29, 2019 /CNW/ - Laurion Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSX.V: LME) and (OTCPINK: LMEFF) ("LAURION" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") of units (each, a "Unit") remains in progress due to continued investor interest, and any closing of a subsequent tranche of the Private Placement has been extended for a further 30 days from the date of this news release.
On November 1, 2019, the Corporation announced that it has closed the first tranche of the Private Placement, whereby the Corporation issued 2,368,438 Units at a price of $0.19 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds to the Corporation of $450,000. As previously announced, the Corporation intends to ultimately raise $1 million pursuant to the Private Placement.
Each Unit consists of one common share of the Corporation issued as a "flow-through share" (as defined in subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act")) (each, a "FT Share") and one common share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one non flow-through common share of the Corporation at a price of $0.25 per share for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance.
The gross proceeds allocable to the FT Shares comprising the Units will be used for "Canadian exploration expenses" (within the meaning of the Tax Act), which will qualify, once renounced, as "flow-through mining expenditures", as defined in the Tax Act, which will be renounced with an effective date of no later than December 31, 2019 (provided the subscriber deals at arm's length with the Corporation at all relevant times) to the initial purchasers of Units in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issue of the Units which are allocable to the FT Shares.
In connection with the Private Placement, the Corporation may pay finders' fees in the form of cash commissions and finder's warrants having the same attributes as the Warrants. The Private Placement remains subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V").
