NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Global Uranium Corp. (CSE: GURN | FRA: Q3J) (the “Company“) is pleased to announce it has closed the previously announced non-brokered private placement (the “Private Placement”) of 4,285,714 non-flow-through units (the “NFT Units“) at a price of $0.35 per NFT Unit, for gross proceeds of $1,500,000 and 1,725,000 flow-through units (the “FT Units“) at a price of $0.40 per FT Unit, for gross proceeds of $690,000.
Each NFT Unit consists of one non-flow-through common share of the Company (“Share”) and one Share purchase warrant of the Company entitling the holder to acquire one Share (“Warrant Share”) at a price of $0.45 per Warrant Share for a period of twenty-four months from the date of issuance.
Each FT Unit consists of one flow-through common share (“FT Share”) and one Share purchase warrant of the Company entitling the holder to acquire one Warrant Share at a price of $0.45 per Warrant Share for a period of twenty-four months from the date of issuance. The FT Shares are intended to qualify as “flow through shares” within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act“).
In connection with the Private Placement, the Company issued 60,900 non-transferable finders warrants (the “Finder’s Warrants”) and paid finders’ fees of $21,315 in cash to an eligible finder. Each Finder’s Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Warrant Share at a price of $0.45 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months following the date of issuance.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds raised from the sale of the NFT Units to fund exploration activities on the Company’s projects, including the Northwest Athabasca Project and for general and administrative expenditures. The gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Units will be used to fund “Canadian exploration expenses” that are intended to qualify as “flow-through mining expenditures” (as such terms are defined in the Tax Act) which the Company intends to renounce to the initial purchasers of the FT Units.
All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement are subject to a hold period expiring February 12, 2025, being the date that is four months and one day from the date of issuance, in accordance with applicable securities legislation.
