Vault Strategic Mining Corp. has successfully closed a non-brokered private placement, raising $1,500,000 through the issuance of 12,000,000 units at a price of $0.125 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share and one transferable common share purchase warrant, with each warrant entitling the holder to acquire one additional common share at an exercise price of $0.20 per share for a period of twelve months from the date of issuance, expiring on January 29, 2027. The net proceeds from the private placement will be used to fund exploration activities and for general corporate purposes.
