Augusta Gold Corp. (TSX: G) (OTCQB: AUGG) (FSE: 11B) has closed an $11.5 million deal in which approximately 6.725 million shares were sold to a syndicate of bankers for $1.71 a piece.
The Nevada gold company announced the news on Friday and each unit sold was comprised of one share of the company’s common stock and one half of a common stock purchase warrant that enables the holder to acquire one share of Augusta’s common stock at $2.30 within the next four years.
The deal was originally announced last Tuesday when Augusta’s shares were worth about $1.95. The company’s stock price has dropped significantly in the last ten days but rose by 2 per cent today to $1.51 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The syndicate of underwriters who made the offering prior to the deal closing today is led by the investment dealer Eight Capital and also includes members of TD Securities and National Bank.
Augusta Gold plans to use net proceeds derived from the offering to fund the advancement of its Nevada Bullfrog Project and for other corporate expenses.
