Golden Spike Resources (CSE:GLDS) is undertaking an up to $600,000 non-brokered private placement, including participation from billionaire mining investor Eric Sprott.
Proceeds will go towards exploring the company’s 100%-owned Gregory River copper-gold property in Newfoundland.
The company will offer up to 4 million units priced at $0.15, with each unit composed of one common share and one-half of one transferable common share purchase warrant, and each warrant entitling the holder to purchase one GLDS common share for $0.30 for up to two years from the closing of the offering.
The oversubscribed offering, expected to close by June 14, 2024, includes a lead order from Sprott that nudges him past 10% ownership, granting him insider status at Golden Spike, as well as meaningful exposure to the company’s future cash flows.
Why did Eric Sprott invest in Golden Spike Resources?
The motivation behind Sprott’s allocation in Golden Spike is directly tied to the prospectivity of its flagship 3,425-hectare Gregory River property in Newfoundland.
The property, on trend with York Harbour Metals’ eponymous high-grade project, is in the middle of an 11-kilometre stretch of the Gregory River volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) corridor, where several copper-gold-zinc VMS prospects and targets have been identified since the 1920s, in addition to multiple high-grade copper-gold veins.
Golden Spike will begin prospecting, sampling and induced polarization/resistivity surveys at Gregory River this summer focused on three target areas with demonstrated potential, including a series of sub-parallel, high-grade copper-gold veins.
Should the company’s highly qualified leadership team prove successful at delineating drill targets for the fall, positive news flow will likely experience added leverage – supposing copper and gold maintain gains from their recent resurgences – positioning shareholders to capitalize on Golden Spike’s 58.70 per cent loss since 2021.
Leadership insights
“We are incredibly excited to launch Golden Spike’s 2024 exploration programs, and having the continued backing of a distinguished investor like Eric Sprott is a tremendous endorsement of our vision,” Keith Anderson, Golden Spike’s chief executive officer, said in a statement. “His support, especially at a time when key commodities such as copper and gold are entering a major bullish phase, greatly enhances our confidence and momentum as we move forward.”
