Decade Announces Non-Brokered Private Placement
Stewart, July 6, 2023 - Decade Resources Ltd. (TSXV: DEC) ("Decade" or the Company) is pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement of flow-through shares to raise aggregate gross proceeds of up to $273,400.
The flow-through offering will comprise up to 2,485,455 flow-through units, at a price of $0.11 per flow-through unit, for gross proceeds of up to $273,400. Each unit will comprise one common share and one transferable common share purchase warrant, each warrant being exercisable for the purchase of one additional common share, at a price of $0.135 per share, for a 24-month period. The federal proposal for the Mineral Exploration Tax Credit (METC) provides an additional income tax benefit for individuals who invest in mining flow-through shares, which augments the tax benefits associated with the deductions that are flowed through. The METC is equal to 15 per cent of specified mineral exploration expenses incurred in Canada and renounced to flow-through share investors. The proposed 2022 Budget proposes to introduce a new 30-per-cent Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit (CMETC) for specified minerals. The specified minerals that would be eligible for the CMETC are: copper, nickel, lithium, cobalt, graphite, rare earth elements, scandium, titanium, gallium, vanadium, tellurium, magnesium, zinc, platinum group metals and uranium. These minerals are used in the production of batteries and permanent magnets, both of which are used in zero-emission vehicles or are necessary in the production and processing of advanced materials, clean technology, or semi-conductors.
The proceeds from the sale of the flow-through shares will be expended on assessment work for the company's properties located in British Columbia.
Finders' fees of 8% cash and 8% finders' warrants will be paid in connection with the private placement for certain investors.
With regards to the private placement that the Company closed on May 18, 2023, the Company would like to mention two items that were missed in the closing news release. A total of 240,000 shares were purchased by an officer of the company in the private placement. Any such participation would be considered to be a related party transaction as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101. The transaction will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of any shares issued to or the consideration paid by such persons will not exceed 25 per cent of the company's market capitalization. Also, the expiry date for the finder's warrants that were issued is May 18, 2025.
