Fireweed CEO Brandon Macdonald commented on the offering.

“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.”

  3. 3,300,000 flow-through common shares at a price of $1.20 per share through a charitable donation arrangement 

The proceeds from the offering will be used for the exploration and development of the company’s projects in northern Canada and general working capital purposes. The gross proceeds from the flow-through and premium flow-through shares will be to incur Canadian Exploration Expenses on the company’s Zinc projects. 

All securities issued will be subject to a statutory four-month hold period.
