TORONTO, June 24,
2024 /CNW/ - Power Nickel
Inc. (the "Company" or "Power
Nickel") (TSXV: PNPN) (OTCBB: PNPNF) (Frankfurt:
IVV) is pleased to announce that it has closed an
over-subscribed flow-through offering (the "Offering") for
gross proceeds of $20,062,497.50
through the issuance of 16,049,998 flow-through units (the "FT
Units") at a price of $1.25 per
FT Unit. Each FT Unit is comprised of one flow-through common share
and one-half of one share purchase warrant (each whole, a
"Warrant"), with each Warrant exercisable to purchase one
common share at a price of $1.25 per
common share for three years from the date of issuance. Each
flow-through common share will qualify as a flow-through share for
purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) ("ITA").
Industry legends Robert Friedland
and Rob McEwen joined with several
other leading mining investors, including CVMR Inc. and Terra
Capital, to provide the investor buyback of the FT Units financing
for Power Nickel.
"Power Nickel is grateful for the support of some of the leading
investors in mining. Like us, they believe Nisk has exceptional
exploration upside. With this capital, we will be able to
substantially increase our already very successful exploration
efforts. We currently have one drilling rig targeting the extension
of the Lion Zone and soon we will have a second rig advancing the
exploration program developed by our team, with substantial
guidance from Dr. Steve Beresford.
It is a very exciting time for our shareholders, stakeholders, and
staff," commented CEO Terry
Lynch.
The Company worked with Wealth Creation Preservation &
Donation Inc. and IA Capital Markets on the financing front end and
used advisory services of Red Cloud Securities Inc. and H&P
Advisory Limited in connection with the Offering. Back-end
purchasers acquired the underlying common shares and Warrants from
the front-end buyers of the FT Units, at $0.66 per common share and half-Warrant
(combined).
The Company will use the gross proceeds from the sale of the FT
Units for exploration activities on the Company's Nisk property
located in Quebec and to incur
eligible "Canadian exploration expenses", within the meaning of the
ITA, that will qualify for the federal 30-per-cent critical mineral
exploration tax credit.
The Offering is subject to the Company's final filing
requirements with the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV")
approval. All securities issued under the financing are subject to
a hold period of four months and one day from the date of
issuance.
The Company paid finder's fees on the financing, including
265,027 finder warrants exercisable for a period of 18 months from
closing into a common share at $1.25
per common share and cash commissions and advisory fees of
$387,239.64 as permitted by the
policies of the TSXV and applicable securities laws.
