TORONTO, Nov. 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (TSXV: TVC) – Three Valley Copper Corp. (' TVC ' or the ' Company ”) today announced that it has closed its previously announced bought deal financing (the ' Offering ').
The Company issued a total of 56,681,000 units (the“ Units ”) on a bought deal basis, at an offering price of C$0.32 per Unit (the“ Offering Price ”), which included 6,681,000 Units issued pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option, and issued 819,000 additional Common Share purchase warrants (each, a“ Warrant ”) pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option at an offering price of C$0.08 per Warrant, for gross proceeds of approximately C$18.2 million. Each Unit consists of one Class A common share (a“ Common Share ”) in the capital of the Company and one Warrant. Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at a price of C$0.45 for a period of 30 months following the closing of the Offering.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to fund the advancement and exploration of the Company's flagship Minera Tres Valles (“ MTV ”) copper project and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
“This new equity capital coupled with the concessions provided by our senior lenders provide a roadmap for the Company to complete its flagship project at MTV,” commented Michael Staresinic, Chief Executive Officer.“Papomono is on schedule to begin its first caving operations in January 2022 followed by an increasing production profile during 2022 and ultimately reach near production capacity in 2023. In parallel, we continue the strategic review process announced by the Company in October and welcome our new shareholders with the closing of this equity raise and thank our existing shareholders for their ongoing support.”
“With copper prices firmly above US$4 per pound for the majority of 2021, we continue to believe this level of price support for copper will continue in the long-run. The electric vehicle revolution, infrastructure stimulus spending and world consensus on decarbonization back our strong conviction that our pure-play copper project with 46,000 hectares of underexplored lands will produce strong results for shareholders once we are able to reach production capacity,” added Mr. Staresinic.“Our new shareholders see this too and we welcome their support through this Offering.”
The Offering was co-led by PI Financial Corp and Eight Capital (the“ Underwriters ”). In connection with the Offering, the Company paid the Underwriters a cash fee of 6% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised from the Offering and issued to the Underwriters 3,400,860 non-transferable compensation warrants (the“ Compensation Warrants ”) equal to 6% of the number of Units sold under the Offering. Each Compensation Warrant is exercisable into one Common Share at the Offering Price for a period of 30 months following closing.
