The company plans to issue up to 75 million special units at 20 cents each. Units will each include a common share and a half-warrant, with full warrants exercisable at 27 cents for 24 months after the deal closes. The offering is brokered by Cormark Securities Inc., which has also been granted an over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 15% of the offering for 30 days.
Contact says that if the deal is completed, it plans to use the proceeds to drill the aforementioned projects, to buy back a portion of its class A preferred shares, to drill its secondary projects, and for general working capital.
Contact announced plans for a 9,000-metre drill program at Green Springs in early July, targeting the deposit's Echo Zone as a priority, from which the company returned 70.1 metres of 2.36 grams of gold per tonne (g/t Au) in 2019. Other previous assays from Green Springs include 38.10 metres of 3.53 g/t Au from the Bravo Zone and 35.05 metres of 1.68 g/t Au from the Alpha Zone.
The company closed another financing earlier in the year, raising a total of $1.25 million. At the time of writing, shares are up 7 cents for 2020 to 22.5 cents.
