Not for distribution to United States Newswire Services or for dissemination in the United States
VANCOUVER, BC, April 5, 2024 /CNW/ - SKRR Exploration Inc. (TSXV: SKRR) (FSE: B04Q) ("SKRR" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed the first tranche (the "First Tranche") of its previously announced private placement (the "Private Placement") (see news release dated March 4, 2024), consisting of 1,800,000 units ("Units") at price of $0.10 per Unit and 583,332 critical mineral exploration tax credit ("CMETC") flow-through units ("FT Units") at a price of $0.12 per FT Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of $250,000. Each Unit is comprised of one common share (a "Share") and one transferable common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each FT Unit consists of one common share to be issued as a "flow-through share" within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (a "FT Share") and one Warrant. Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one common share of the Company (a "Warrant Share") at a price of $0.15 at any time on or before the date which is 36 months following the closing date of the First Tranche.
The Company paid aggregate cash finder's fees of $3,500 and issued 35,000 broker warrants to certain finders and brokers on a portion of the First Tranche of the Private Placement. The broker warrants are non-transferable and otherwise have the same terms as the Warrants. The Shares, FT Shares, Warrant Shares and any common shares of the Company that are issuable from any finder's warrants are subject to statutory hold period of four months and one day following the closing date of the First Tranche in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Company intends to use the gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Shares toward exploration work on the Clearwater West uranium property located in Saskatchewan that will be eligible for the CMETC. The gross proceeds from the issuance of the FT Shares will be used for "Canadian Exploration Expenses" (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) (the "Qualifying Expenditures"), which will be renounced with an effective date no later than December 31, 2024 to the purchasers of the FT Units in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issuance of the FT Shares. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Units for exploration work on its properties and for working capital purposes.
The Company expects to close the second and final tranche of the Private Placement within the following two weeks, and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
