VANCOUVER, BC, March 6,
2023 /CNW/ - Power Metals Corp. ("Power
Metals" or the "Company") (TSXV: PWM)
(FRANKFURT: OAA1) (OTCQB: PWRMF) is pleased to announce that
it has entered into an agreement with Canaccord Genuity Corp. (the
"Agent") in connection with a "best efforts" private
placement of 11,325,000 common shares of the Company that will
qualify as "flow-through shares" (within the meaning of subsection
66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) (the "Flow-Through Shares").
The Flow-Through Shares will be issued at a price of $0.57 per Flow-Through Share (the "Offering
Price") for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $6.5 million (the "Offering").
The Agent will have an option (the "Agent's Option") to
increase the size of the Offering by up to $1.0 million through the sale of 1,698,750
additional Flow-Through Shares at the Offering Price, which Agent's
Option is exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time up to 48
hours prior to the Closing Date (defined herein).
Winsome Resources Limited ("Winsome") have indicated
their intention to participate in the Offering to increase its
share ownership in Power Metals from 5.6% to approximately 10.0%
based on basic shares outstanding (assuming the exercise in full of
the Agent's Option).
Also, Waratah Capital Advisors Ltd. ("Waratah"), through
Waratah's Electrification and Decarbonization AIE LP Fund, have
indicated their intention to participate in the Offering, which
would result in a share ownership in Power Metals of approximately
2.9% based on basic shares outstanding (assuming the exercise in
full of the Agent's Option).
The gross proceeds of the Offering will be used by the Company
to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that will qualify
as "flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures" as such
terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) and "eligible Ontario exploration expenditures" as defined
in subsection to 103(4) of the Taxation Act, 2007 (Ontario) (the "Qualifying
Expenditures") related to the Company's projects located in the
province of Ontario on or before
December 31, 2024. All Qualifying
Expenditures will be renounced in favour of the subscribers
effective December 31, 2023.
The Flow-Through Shares will be offered by way of private
placement pursuant to applicable exemptions from prospectus
requirements in each of the provinces of Canada, and in such other jurisdictions as may
be mutually agreed between the Company and the Agent. The Offering
is expected to close on or about March 27,
2023 (the "Closing Date"), subject to the
satisfaction or waiver of the customary closing conditions,
including the conditional listing approval of the TSX Venture
Exchange.
