May 12 2023 - 6:45AM
Juggernaut Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V: JUGR) (OTCQB: JUGRF)
(FSE: 4JE) (the “Company” or “Juggernaut”) is pleased to
report its previously announced non-brokered private placement
financing (the “Financing”) of up to $3 million was met with
significant interest from strategic institutions, industry
professionals and UHNWI investors resulting in the Financing being
over-subscribed. The Financing was capped at $3,040,000 and the
Company has filed documents with the TSXV Exchange (“Exchange”) for
approval to close the Financing.
Dr. Hennigh stated, “We are delighted to see
Juggernaut move toward drilling at Midas and Empire. Given the
nature of the targets, potentially high grade and large, and the
recent positive trend in the commodity space, Juggernaut is set to
be one of the most exciting exploration stories in BC this year.
Having reviewed the drill plans, I am quite confident that they
could make two notable discoveries this season.”
Dr. Quinton Hennigh has taken on the role as
special technical advisor to the Company. He is the technical
consultant for all Crescat’s gold and silver mining investments.
Dr. Hennigh is a world-renowned exploration geologist with more
than 30 years of experience including with major gold mining firms
Homestake Mining, Newcrest Mining, and Newmont Mining.
Crescat Capital LLC (“Crescat”) made a strategic
investment representing a 19.70% ownership of the Company post
funding on a partially diluted basis. Juggernaut welcomes this
strategic investment from Crescat Capital and technical support
from Dr. Quinton Hennigh. Juggernaut’s projects continue to garner
strong interest and support from leading institutions and miners
alike, confirming the quality of its three fully permitted, 100%
controlled, drill ready projects located in world class geologic
terrane of Northwestern British Columbia and the Golden
Triangle.
Mr. Dan Stuart, Director, President, and
CEO of Juggernaut states:
“We are pleased to have strengthened our
relationship both Crescat Capital as a strategic investor and Dr.
Hennigh as a Special Technical Advisor and investor. I look forward
to working with our partners who bring a proven track record of
both financial and technical strength. This will enable Juggernaut
to unlock the full potential of its assets over the long term,
building value for all shareholders. This investment and strategic
partnership, coupled with the ongoing support and interest from
other globally recognized Institutions and senior miners, is a
strong endorsement that clearly demonstrates the significant
near-term discovery potential of our 100% controlled properties.
Juggernaut will have a tight capital structure of just 62,447,452
shares, no debt, and a strong cash position of ~ $5,000,000. As
such, we are well positioned to move forward with our plans of
drilling Midas, Empire and Bingo totaling approximately ~6,000
meters. With much anticipation, we look forward to executing the
inaugural drill and exploration programs and reporting
results.”
