Business Wire
Western Exploration Inc. (TSXV: WEX; OTCQX: WEXPF) (the
"Company" or "Western Exploration") is pleased to
announce that it has closed its previously-announced non-brokered
private placement (the "Offering") of units of the Company
(the "Units"). Under the Offering, the Company issued an
aggregate of 1,603,773 Units at a price of CDN $1.06 per Unit for
gross proceeds of approximately CDN $1.7 million to a new strategic
investor, TXAU Ventures LLC ("TXAU Ventures") of Houston,
Texas.
Each Unit consists of one variable voting share of the Company
(each, a "Share") and one-half of one variable voting share
purchase warrant of the Company (each whole variable voting share
purchase warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the
holder thereof to purchase one variable voting share of the Company
(each, a "Warrant Share") at a price of CDN $1.36 per
Warrant Share at any time on or before the date which is 24 months
after the closing date of the Offering (the "Closing
Date"), subject to adjustment in certain events.
In relation to the Offering, Risher Randall III, Manager of TXAU
Ventures commented: "After months of discussions, we are excited to
become a capital partner of Western Exploration as we aim to
support the Company as they develop the Aura Project in
Northeastern, Nevada. We see the Doby George as a high quality,
mid-sized heap leach project, and we are excited about the
exploration potential at Gravel Creek based on the drilling results
from 2023. Our investment is expected to be used to advance the
Doby George into a pre-feasibility and permitting stage as we
believe this deposit is largely derisked and ready for advancement.
Furthermore, we think highly of the Western Exploration team, and
we are excited to support them as they push the Doby George project
forward and continue exploration work at Gravel Creek which we
believe could shape up to be the next high-grade deposit in the
region."
Darcy Marud, CEO of Western Exploration added: "We are grateful
for the support of TXAU Ventures and the belief they have placed in
Western Exploration's management. We look forward to ramping up
activities at Doby George in parallel with the continued
exploration effort at Gravel Creek creating additional value for
all of our stakeholders."
All securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject
to a hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities
laws, expiring four months and one day following the Closing
Date.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds raised from the
Offering to advance a pre-feasibility study of the Doby George
Deposit, undertake baseline studies, commence permitting of the
Doby George Deposit, and for general corporate purposes.
Completion of the Offering remains subject to the receipt of all
final approvals of the TSX Venture Exchange (the
"Exchange").
