Comstock Metals Provides Update on Proposed $500,000 Private Placement of Units
Vancouver, June 8, 2018 - Comstock Metals Ltd. (TSX-V: CSL) ("Comstock" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its previously announced non-brokered private placement financing of units ("Units"). As previously disclosed, the Company intends to raise gross proceeds of up to CDN$500,000 (the "Offering") for general corporate purposes. The Company will have the option of increasing the size of the offering by up to $200,000 prior to closing. It is proposed that each Unit will be issued at a price of CAD$0.05 per Unit with each Unit consisting of one common share and one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant referred to as a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will be exercisable into a common share of Comstock (a "Warrant Share") for a period of 24 months from the closing date at an exercise price of $0.10. The Warrants issued as part of the Unit Offering will be subject to an acceleration clause, whereby, if the weighted average trading price of Comstock's common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (or such other exchange on which the common shares may trade) is at a price equal to or greater than $0.15 for a period of 10 consecutive trading days, Comstock will have the right to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants. If Comstock exercises such right, Comstock will give written notice to the holders of the Warrants that the Warrants will expire 30 days from the date of notice to the Warrant holders. Such notice by Comstock to the holders of the Warrants may not be given until 4 months and one day after the closing date.
It is anticipated the Offering will close on or before June 15, 2018.
Completion of the offering is subject to receipt of applicable regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The securities issued by Comstock in connection with the offering will be subject to a four month hold period as prescribed by applicable securities laws. Finders fees may be paid on a portion of the offering.
It is anticipated that insiders will subscribe for securities in the private placement transaction. Details of such insider subscriptions will be provided in further news releases regarding the Offering.
The Units will be offered pursuant to prospectus exemptions in certain provinces of Canada and in such other jurisdictions as may be determined by Comstock. The securities offered have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
