The $0.015 units consist of one common share and 1 common share purchase warrant that permits the holder to buy an additional share at $0.05 for a period of 24 months from the closing of the financing. The Company announced that it has closed the first tranche of the financing for a total of $32,000 through the issuance of 2,133,333 units. BacTech has received price protection at $0.015 for 45 days.
To recap, Ponce Enriquez, in southern Ecuador, hosts over 90 small mines, many of which produce significant amounts of arsenic along with gold. Given the ever-tightening environmental regulations globally, producers of this type of high arsenic gold concentrate can expect to receive lower prices for their product compared with cleaner concentrates. Bioleaching's ability to stabilize high levels of arsenic will provide a local processing option that should provide better prices for their product and also add to the environmental aspects of the equation.
"This is the beginning of BacTech's reset after the disappointing exit from the Telamayu project in Bolivia. We have taken the approach of using smaller financings to avoid heavy dilution and to match capital raising to the results of the various steps to construction. It is our hope that each successive stage will enhance the viability of the project and lead to raising capital at higher valuations and of course, less dilution," said Ross Orr, President and CEO of the Company.
This is a non-brokered private placement. Any qualified person interested in participating in the current funding should contact the Company directly.
