News related to:VR Resources Limited · 2 min read
VR Resources Limited has successfully completed a private placement, raising $7.5 million through the sale of 18,750,000 units at a price of $0.40 per unit. The funds will be used to advance the company’s exploration plans, particularly at its New Boston tungsten-moly-copper-silver polymetallic porphyry project in Nevada.
Dr. Michael Gunning, CEO of VR Resources, expressed satisfaction with the outcome of the financing, stating, "We are pleased to have successfully closed this financing and are grateful for the continued support of our shareholders. The capital raised will enable us to immediately commence planning for a drill program this fall, with a focus on following up on the recently announced intersection in drill hole NB26-003."
Each unit consists of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Holders of these warrants will have the right to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.65 for a period of 24 months from the closing date. The proceeds from the offering will also be used for marketing and general corporate and administrative expenses.
In connection with the private placement, VR Resources paid an aggregate cash fee of $506,000 to Centurion One Capital Corp. under an agency agreement. The common shares and warrants issued under the offering, as well as any common shares issued upon the exercise of warrants, are subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the closing date.
The funds raised will support the company’s strategic exploration efforts, particularly at the New Boston project.
The New Boston project is a moly-copper-tungsten-silver porphyry project in Nevada, and the recent drilling results have shown promising intersections. The company plans to follow up on these results with additional drilling to further assess the potential of the project.
VR Resources, based in Vancouver, is an established junior exploration company focused on copper, gold, and critical metals in Nevada and Ontario. The company applies modern exploration technologies and in-house expertise to large-footprint systems in underexplored areas.
The forward-looking statements in the press release emphasize the company’s commitment to advancing its projects and creating value for shareholders. However, the company cautions that these statements involve risks and uncertainties that could impact actual results.
