SASKATOON, March 14, 2019 /CNW/ - Omineca Mining and Metals
Ltd. (TSX-V: OMM) ("Omineca" or the "Company") announces a
non-brokered private placement offering of up to 10,000,000 units
of the Company at $0.05 per unit for
gross proceeds of up to $500,000.
Each unit consists of one (1) common share and one (1) common share
purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one
(1) common share at $0.10 for 24
months following closing of the offering. Proceeds will be
used to finance transaction costs related to the bulk sampling
program announced on March 1, 2019,
along with planning the 2019 hard rock exploration program, and for
general working capital.
Omineca has two distinct yet related projects – the Wingdam
underground placer gold recovery project and an exploration project
for potential hard rock sources for placer gold historically found
at Wingdam. The Company's August 2018
geophysics program yielded magnetic lineaments that together with
data compilation have allowed delineation of four targets on the
Wingdam property. The property contains structural features similar
to those hosting gold at Barkerville Gold Mine's Cariboo project
located 25 km east-northeast of Wingdam.
Omineca proposes a 2019 exploration program (the "Program")
consisting of a VTEM survey over the priority target areas
identified in the 2018 geophysics program to define drill targets,
as well as a program of ground sampling and trenching.
Details of the Program will be announced when finalized.
The offering is subject to regulatory approval, including the
approval of the TSXV. All securities issued pursuant to the
offering are subject to a statutory four month hold period. Omineca
advises that the insiders of the Company may participate in the
financing, which will be completed pursuant to available
related-party exemptions under Multilateral Instrument 61-101
(Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special
Transactions).
