McEwen Mining: Registered Direct Offering of Common Stock Completed & Closed
February 09 2021 - 02:01PM
McEwen Mining Inc. (the “Company” or “McEwen”) (NYSE and
TSX: MUX), reports that it has closed the previously
announced registered direct offering of common shares for aggregate
gross proceeds of US$31.5 million.
“I deeply regret being in a position where we
had to finance at this price, a price well below what I believe to
be our real value. However, the timing of this financing was
critical for two key reasons: One, it completes the funding
required to bring the Froome deposit into production later this
year. Froome is our production bridge to the future growth of the
Fox Complex, where we see potential for significantly higher gold
production, lower cost per ounce and a much longer mine life; and
Two, it strengthens our balance sheet and working capital position,
which will help address our going concern note and debt covenants.I
do take some solace from the fact that there was big demand for the
offering, of over $120 million, and this is an expression of
confidence by investors in our company’s future,” said Rob McEwen,
Chairman & Chief Owner.
Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and Roth Capital
Partners, LLC acted as exclusive co-placement agents for the
Offering in the United States and internationally (except
Canada).
