Granite Creek Copper Closes $5.2 Million Private Placement Financing Including Lead Order from Sprott Asset Management

17.03.2021  |  Accesswire

VANCOUVER, March 17, 2021 - Granite Creek Copper Ltd. (TSXV:GCX)(OTCQB:GCXXF) ("Granite Creek" or the "Company") announces the completion of the previously announced private placement offerings which have raised aggregate proceeds of $5,210,300 through the issuance of a total of 5,000,000 flow-through units at $0.28 per unit, 10,050,000 non-flow-through units at $0.20 per unit and 8,183,181 flow-through shares at $0.22 per share (see news release dated March 24, 2021). The private placements remain subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. Funds managed by Sprott Asset Management provided a lead order on the flow-through shares portion of the placement and Granite Creek engaged Canaccord Genuity Corp. to act as financial advisor for the offering.

President & CEO, Tim Johnson, stated, "In completing this financing, we have added significant strength to our overall shareholder base and are now well-capitalized to undertake an aggressive exploration program this summer. Our intention is to mobilize personnel to set up camp at our Carmacks & Carmacks North project in late April and commence drilling in the first half of May for a program we anticipate will be in excess of 8,000 metres with a goal of expanding our current resource. We are very encouraged by the ongoing strength in the copper market and foresee this will be a significant value driver moving forward. With buoyant sector fundamentals, a solid balance sheet and significant substantive news flow expected, Granite Creek is looking to become established as a prominent Canadian copper-gold explorer/developer."

Each non-flow-through unit and each flow-through unit consisted of one common share of the Company (a "Share") and one-half of one share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant (a "Warrant") entitles the holder to acquire one common non-flow-through share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.30 for a period of 24 months following the closing date of the private placement (the "Closing Date").

If, at any time after the Closing Date, the closing price of the Company's common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange is greater than $0.45 per share for a period of 10 consecutive trading days, the Company may elect to accelerate the expiry date of all or part of the Warrants, at any date that is four months and one day after the Closing Date, by giving notice thereof to the holders of the Warrants. In such case, that portion of the Warrants would be subject to an expiry date that is 30 business days after the date on which such notice is given by the Company.

The Shares are subject to a hold period of four months and one day from issuance in accordance with applicable securities laws and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons, absent registration or any applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws.

In connection with the private placement, Granite Creek has paid commissions totaling $196,544, issued 150,00 shares, 556,563 finder's warrants and 175,000 compensation options. Each finder's warrant is exercisable into one Share of the Company at exercise price of $0.30 for 24 months from the date of closing of the private placement. Each compensation option is exercisable into one unit of the Company at a price of $0.20 per unit, each unit consisting of one Share and one half of one Warrant.

?Officers and Directors of the Company subscribed for a total of 262,000 non flow-through units and 45,000 flow-through shares of the private placement. Participation of Officers and Directors of Granite Creek in the private placement is considered a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). The transactions are exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the securities to be distributed in the private placement nor the consideration to be received for those securities, in so far as the private placement involves the Insiders, exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

Option Grant

Granite Creek further announces it has granted 850,000 incentive stock options (the "Options") to Directors, and Officers of the Company. The Options are exercisable for up to five years, expiring on March 16, 2025, and each Option will allow the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of $0.22 per share.
