VANCOUVER, September 1, 2020 - Barksdale Resources Corp. ("Barksdale" or the "Company") (TSXV:BRO) (OTCQB:BRKCF) announces that due to increased demand the Company has expanded the size of its non-brokered private placement financing announced August 6, 2020 (the "Offering"). The Offering will now consist of a total of 16,644,736 units ("Units") at a price of $0.38 per Unit for gross proceeds of $6,325,000. Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company and one half (1/2) of a common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant a "Warrant"). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder to purchase an additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.55 for a period, subject to acceleration, of 24 months following the closing of the Offering.
The Company is pleased to announce that Teck Resources Ltd. has elected to exercise its equity participation right and is expected to subscribe for a total of 1,381,579 Units under the Offering for gross proceeds of $525,000, assuming that the Offering is fully subscribed.
The Offering remains subject to closing of the San Javier transaction as announced August 6, 2020, customary closing conditions and acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company anticipates closing both the Offering and the San Javier transaction on or about September 9th.
In addition, certain directors and officers of Barksdale (collectively "Insiders") will be acquiring Units in the Offering. Any participation in the Offering by Insiders constitutes a "related party transaction" for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101, Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"); however, Barksdale expects such participation will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 based on the fact that the fair market value of such participation by Insiders will be less than 25% of Barksdale's current market capitalization. The Company will file a material change report in connection with this increase in the Offering and the participation by Insiders less than 21 days before the expected closing date of the Offering, which the Company considers reasonable in the circumstances to be able to avail itself of current financing opportunities and complete the Offering and the San Javier transaction as announced August 6, 2020 in an expeditious manner.
Barksdale Resources Corp. is a base metal exploration company headquartered in Vancouver, BC, that is focused on the acquisition, exploration and advancement of highly prospective base metal projects in North America.
