Each hard dollar unit and flow-through nit is comprised of one common share and one half of one common share purchase warrant.

Derek White, President and CEO of Ascot, commented on the financing.
“We are pleased to close the equity financing including the full exercise of the over-allotment option, which was made possible by strong support from existing and new institutional shareholders. The proceeds will be used to fund the construction of the Premier Gold Project, our 2022 exploration drilling program, and for general working capital purposes. We are excited to advance PGP into full-scale construction and underground development shortly and are eager to become Canada’s newest gold producer starting in Q1 of 2023.”
