“It is a testament to the quality of Fireweed’s projects and the efforts of our team that we are able to attract backers like the Lundin family. No strangers to projects with district potential, the Lundins saw the value in Fireweed’s portfolio, particularly our flagship Macmillan Pass project, and have given us one of our strongest endorsements to date. Together with additional backing from our largest shareholders, this Offering gives Fireweed the ability to deliver a 2023 program unconstrained from capital requirements. I am excited for the year ahead.”
