VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 23, 2021
/CNW/ - Libero Copper &
Gold Corporation (TSXV: LBC) (OTCQB: LBCMF) (DE: 29H) is
pleased to announce that the non-brokered private placement
announced on February 3, 2021 and
upsized on February 9, 2021 (the
"Offering") was closed on February
22, 2021. The Offering consists of 6,000,000 Units
("Unit") at a price of $0.50
per Unit (the "NFT Offering") and 7,272,726 Units at a price
of $0.55 per Common Share (the "FT
Offering") for gross aggregate proceeds of $7,000,000. Eventus Capital Corp. acted as
a finder in connection with the Offering.
"Libero has just 43 million shares outstanding, great liquidity,
a strengthened management team and board, and four significant
porphyry copper projects with three fully funded drill programs,"
comments Ian Harris, Chief Executive
Officer. "With the copper price over $4 per pound, 2021 is going to be an exciting
year for Libero Copper."
Each Unit consists of one Common Share and one-half of one
Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant,
"Warrant"). Each Warrant shall be exercisable to acquire one
Common Share ("Warrant Share") at a price of $0.75 per Warrant Share until February 22, 2023. If the closing price of the
Common Shares is at a price equal to or greater than $1 for a period of 10 consecutive trading days,
Libero will have the right to accelerate the expiry date of the
Warrants by giving notice via a new release to the holders of the
Warrants that the Warrants will expire on the date that is 30 days
after the issuance of a said news release.
Common Shares issued under the FT Offering qualify as
'flow-through shares' ("Flow-Through Shares"). The
gross proceeds from the FT Offering will be used to incur 'Canadian
exploration expenses' that will qualify as 'flow-through mining
expenditures' as those terms are defined in the Income Tax
Act which will be renounced to the initial purchasers of the
Flow-Through Shares.
The net proceeds will be used for drilling the Big Red, Big
Bulk, and Esperanza porphyry copper projects and general working
capital purposes. A Finder's Fee of 6% was paid in cash or Units on
a portion of the Offering. Securities issued in the Offering
are subject to a statutory hold period expiring on June 23, 2021.
