Units will be offered at a price of $0.15 for gross proceeds of up to $1.5 million.
Crescat Capital LLC intends to acquire 7 million of the units.
“We are encouraged by this unique copper and gold system. It appears to have higher grades than other big porphyry projects in British Columbia,” commented Kevin Smith, Crescat’s Chief Investment Officer.
Proceeds from this Financing will be used for a 2,500-metre diamond drill program at Pacific Ridge’s flagship Kliyul copper-gold project, located in British Columbia, for exploration on the company’s other projects, and for general working capital.
“I’m thrilled that Crescat has recognized Kliyul’s potential,” said Blaine Monaghan, President and CEO of Pacific Ridge.
“Importantly, the lead order from Crescat means that the Kliyul drill program is now fully funded. We look forward to the drill turning sometime in July,” added Monaghan.
Each Unit will be comprised of one common share of Pacific and one-half of one common share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable to purchase one additional common share at an exercise price of $0.23 for a period of 24 months.
It may pay finder’s fees of 5 per cent cash on a portion of the private placement.
