VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VR Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: VRR; FSE: 5VR; OTCQB: VRRCF) (the “Company” or “VR”) is pleased to announce, further to its news releases dated September 15 and 26, 2022, the second and final closing of the previously announced non-brokered Flow Through private placement (the “FT Financing”). In connection with the second tranche closing of the FT Financing, the Company issued today an additional 1,670,000 FT Units (as defined below). In addition to the FT Financing, the Company recently completed its second and final closing of its non-brokered Hard dollar private placement (the “Hard dollar Financing”, and collectively, the “Financings”) (see NR22-11, NR22-12 and NR22-14 dated August 19, August 30 and September 26, 2022, respectively). The closing of the Financings is in concert with the start-up of the fall drill program to follow-up on the Company’s discovery of high grade REE critical metal mineralization on its Hecla-Kilmer property in northern Ontario (see NR22-15 dated Oct. 12, 2022).
The aggregate gross proceeds raised from the Financings is $2,256,060. The break down is as follows:
- FT Financing, consisting of 5,051,667 units (“FT Units“) at a price of $0.18 per FT Unit for total gross proceeds of $909,300.
- Hard dollar Financing, consisting of 8,417,250 units (“Units“) at a price of $0.16 per Unit for total gross proceeds of $1,331,600.
Supporting Information on Financings
Each of the FT Units and the Units consists of one flow-through common share and one non-flow through common share, respectively, and one-half of a common share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase an additional non-flow through common share at $0.25 for a period of 18 months from the respective closing dates of the Financings.
In connection with the Financings, the Company paid aggregate cash fees totaling $50,772.00 to certain finders.
The securities that were issued under the Financings are subject to a four month hold period commencing from the respective closing dates of such Financings.
VR will use the gross proceeds from the Hard dollar Financing for its mineral exploration business, including active exploration on its various mineral properties held in Ontario, Canada and Nevada, USA. VR will use the gross proceeds from the FT Financing for mineral exploration on its Hecla-Kilmer property in northern Ontario, and more specifically for a drill program planned for this fall on its Hecla-Kilmer critical metals discovery in northern Ontario. For example, the start-up of the fall drill program to follow-up on the Company’s discovery of high grade REE critical metal mineralization at its Hecla-Kilmer property in northern Ontario was announced on October 12, 2022, with a field video from the drill site available on the Hecla-Kilmer project page on the Company’s website at www.vrr.ca .
