Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we have issued and sold the securities described below without registering the securities under the Securities Act.
On February 21, 2023 we entered into an earn-in agreement pursuant to which we agreed to issue up to $1,400,000 worth of our common stock to Exiro Minerals USA Corp. as partial consideration for the right to earn in on the White Hill Copper Project. The first tranche of 10,281 shares was issued on March 3, 2023 at a deemed price of $14.59 per share. Additional shares may be issued by the Company in connection with an earn-in right over the course of up to six years. Such shares will be valued at the greater of $11.75 per share or the 5-day volume-weighted average price of such shares for
25
the five consecutive trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the applicable anniversary date of the agreement that requires the issuance.
The issuance of the above securities was exempt pursuant to Section 4(a)(2)of the Securities Act, as the securities were issued to financially sophisticated purchaser in a privately negotiated transaction.
Use of Proceeds from our IPO
On June 27, 2022, our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-265175) relating to our IPO of our common stock was declared effective by the SEC.
On June 30, 2022, we completed our IPO and issued and sold 14,388,000 shares of our common stock at a price to the public of $11.75 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $169.1 million. BMO Capital Markets Corp. and Jefferies LLC acted as joint book-running managers for the IPO and as representatives of the underwriters.
The net proceeds from the IPO to us, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses of $11.1 million, were $158.0 million. No IPO expenses were paid directly or indirectly to any of our directors or officers (or their associates) or persons owning 10.0% or more of any class of our equity securities or to any other affiliates. As at March 31, 2023, the Company's use of net proceeds is materially in-line with the planned use of net proceeds as described in the final prospectus.
