Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a "Common Share") and one transferrable Common Share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one additional Common Share (each, a "Warrant Share") at an exercise price of $0.20 per Warrant Share for a period of three (3) years following the issue date of the Unit.
"While we received a substantial investment from Stellantis last October 2023, those funds have been earmarked for our drilling and exploration activities on our projects in Argentina. A prepaid drilling services contract for up to 15,500 meters secured last October for just over $51 million ensures that all upcoming drill programs for the next couple of years are fully funded," stated Nikolaos Cacos, President and CEO. "The current financing will ensure that our corporate activities will keep pace with our ongoing exploration programs."
