Miata Metals Closes Oversubscribed Financing for Gross Proceeds of $6.5 Million
October 18 2024 - 8:17AM
Miata Metals Corp. (CSE: MMET) (FSE: 8NQ) (“Miata” or the
“Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously
announced brokered private placement offering (the “Offering”) of
10,623,600 units of the Company (each a “Unit”) at a price of $0.60
per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $6,374,160.
Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one-half
of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant a
“Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common
share at a price of $0.90 per share for a period of 24 months. The
Offering was being conducted by a syndicate led by Clarus
Securities Inc. and PowerOne Capital Markets Limited.
Concurrent with the close of the Offering, Miata
also closed a non-brokered private placement (the “Non-Brokered
Private Placement”) with a strategic investor on the same terms as
the Offering. Under the Non-Brokered Private Placement, Miata
issued 250,000 Units for gross proceeds of $150,000. Gross proceeds
for the Offering and Non-Brokered Private Placement totalled
$6,524,160. The net proceeds raised from the Offering and the
Non-Brokered Private Placement will be used for the continued
exploration and advancement of the Company's exploration program on
its mineral properties and for general working capital and
corporate purposes.
Dr. Jacob Verbaas, CEO and Director of Miata
commented “The upsizing and closing of the Offering, as well as the
additional closing of the Non-Brokered Private Placement shows
robust support for what we are building at Miata. With gold prices
recently cresting all-time highs, and increased activity in the
Guiana Shield, investor demand is strong for our newly acquired
portfolio of gold projects. We have made significant progress on
the geological model at Sela Creek, compiling historical workings,
results of the July sampling program, and recently flown LiDAR to
arrive at a prospective set of drill targets for our fully-funded
drill program that is expected to commence by the end of 2024. We
look forward to communicating the drilling plan in the coming
weeks.”
The Units issued under the Offering and
Non-Brokered Private Placement were offered pursuant to applicable
exemptions from the prospectus requirements under applicable
securities laws. The securities issued pursuant to the Offering and
Non-Brokered Private Placement, including any underlying
securities, are subject to a statutory four-month hold period,
expiring on February 19, 2025, in accordance with applicable
securities legislation.
Upon closing of the Offering and Non-Brokered
Private Placement, the Company has 53,242,209 common shares issued
and outstanding. John Wenger, an insider of the Company, acquired
40,000 Units in the Offering. The insider's participation is
considered to be a "related party transaction" as defined under
Multilateral Instrument 61- 101 ("MI 61-101"). The transaction is
exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval
requirements under section 5.5(a) and section 5.7(1)(a) of MI
61-101 as neither the fair market value of the securities s issued
to the related party nor the consideration paid by such person
exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The Company did
not file a material change report in respect of the related party
transaction at least 21 days before the closing of the Offering, as
the details of the participation by the related party were not
known at that time.
