In connection with the private placement, the Company has issued 16,350,101 Flow Through Units ("FT Units") at a price of $0.03 per FT Unit for gross proceeds of $490,503.03. Each FT Unit will be comprised of one common share of the Company issued on a "flow-through" basis and one-half common share purchase warrant (with two such half common share purchase warrants being each a "Warrant") issued on a "non-flow-through" basis. Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one non-flow-through common share at a price of $0.05 for a period of 24 months from the date of closing. The FT Units are subject to a four-month and one day hold period that expires on January 20, 2025.
The Company has paid finders' fees totalling $13,005 and it issued a total of 433,499 non-transferable common share purchase warrants (the "Finder's Warrants") in connection with the Private Placement. Each Finder's Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one non-flow-through common share at a price of $0.05 for a period of 24 months from the date of closing.
Proceeds received from the FT Units will be used to fund exploration on SLAM's copper and nickel projects in New Brunswick, Canada. The FT Units will qualify for the 30% Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit ("CMETC") in addition to the federal flow through tax deduction.
Insider Participation: Two Company insiders participated in the Private Placement and subscribed for a total of 1,666,733 FT Units. The participation by such insiders is a "related-party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company has relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of related party participation in the placement as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involved the related parties, exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101).
