TORONTO, March 19, 2020 /CNW/ - LAURION Mineral
Exploration Inc. (TSX.V: LME and OTCPINK: LMEFF) ("LAURION" or the
"Corporation") today announced that it is proposing to
complete a flow-through and non flow-through private placement on a
non-brokered basis (the "Private Placement"). Under the
flow-through portion of the private placement, the Corporation
intends to raise up to approximately $100,000 in gross proceeds by issuing up to
approximately 606,061 flow-through units (the "FT Units").
Under the non flow-through portion of the private placement, the
Corporation intends to raise up to approximately $60,000 in gross proceeds by issuing up to
approximately 363,637 non flow-through units (the "Non-FT
Units" and collectively with the FT Units, the "Units").
Pursuant to the Private Placement, the Units will be issued at a
price of $0.165 per Unit.
Each FT Unit will consist of one common share of the Corporation
to be issued as a "flow-through share" (as defined in subsection
66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act")) (each, a
"FT Share") and one common share purchase warrant (each, a
"Warrant"). Each Non-FT Unit will consist of one non
flow-through common share of the Corporation and one Warrant. Each
Warrant (whether comprising part of a FT Unit or a Non-FT Unit)
will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one non flow-through
common share of the Corporation at a price of $0.21 per share for a period of 12 months from
the date of issuance.
As at the date hereof, the Corporation has accepted subscription
agreements for the Private Placement in aggregate gross proceeds of
$118,000.
The gross proceeds allocable to the FT Shares comprising the FT
Units will be used for "Canadian exploration expenses" (within the
meaning of the Tax Act), which will qualify, once renounced, as
"flow-through mining expenditures", as defined in the Tax Act,
which will be renounced with an effective date of no later than
December 31, 2020 (provided the
subscriber deals at arm's length with the Corporation at all
relevant times) to the initial purchasers of FT Units in an
aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the
issue of the FT Units which are allocable to the FT Shares. The
Corporation intends to use the net proceeds from the issue of
Non-FT Units for exploration activities and general working capital
purposes.
In connection with the Private Placement, the Corporation may
pay finders' fees in the form of cash commissions and finder's
warrants having the same attributes as the Warrants.
The closing of the Private Placement is subject to
the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V"). All
securities that are issued pursuant to the Private Placement will
be subject to, among other things, a hold period of four months and
one day in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
