TSXV: BMET
VANCOUVER, April 18, 2019 /CNW/ - BeMetals Corp.
(TSXV: BMET) ("BeMetals" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce that due to excess demand the Company has
increased the size of its previously announced non-brokered private
placement offering (see BeMetals' press release dated April 4, 2019) from $5,000,000 to $6,250,000.
BeMetals intends to issue up to 25,000,000 units (the "Units")
of the Company at a price of $0.25
per Unit (the "Offering") for aggregate gross proceeds of up to
$6,250,000. Each Unit will consist of
one common share in the capital of the Company (a "Common Share")
and one-quarter Common Share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant
will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one additional Common
Share at an exercise price of $0.35
per Common Share for two years from the date of issuance. If
the closing price of the common shares of BeMetals quoted on the
TSX Venture Exchange is greater than $0.70 for 15 consecutive trading days, the
Company may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to the
30th day after the date on which BeMetals provides
notice to the Warrant holders of such acceleration.
Net proceeds of the financing will be used to fund the Company's
planned underground drilling of the advanced stage, high-grade,
South Mountain Zinc-Silver Project in Idaho, U.S.A. and for exploration core
drilling, to test compelling targets from significant aircore
results, at the Pangeni Copper Project in Zambia. The Company will also continue to
identify and secure other high quality base metal projects.
The Offering is subject to regulatory approval and all
securities to be issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a
four-month and one day hold period under applicable Canadian
securities laws. Founding Directors and Officers of the
Company will be participating for a significant portion of the
Offering.
The Offering is expected to close on May
3, 2019 as an issuance of subscription receipts to be
automatically converted into Units upon TSX Venture Exchange
approval of the South Mountain Project transaction as previously
announced by the Company on February
28, 2019.
