Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – August 30, 2024) – Southern Silver Exploration Corp. (TSXV: SSV) (“Southern Silver” or the “Company”) has closed the third and final tranche of its previously reported non-brokered private placement (“Offering”) by issuing 961,500 units at a price of $0.22 per unit for gross proceeds of $211,530. Together with the first two tranches, Southern Silver has raised a total of $3,604,035.16 by the issuance of 16,381,978 units. Each unit consists of one common share and one-half of one share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one common share for a period of 3 years at a price of $0.30.
All securities issued under the final tranche are subject to a hold period expiring December 30, 2024. The Offering and the payment of finders’ fees is subject to TSX Venture Exchange acceptance. Over all three tranches of the Offering, the Company paid finders’ fees totaling $120,964.51 and issued an aggregate 544,389 non-transferable finder warrants, with each finder warrant exercisable to purchase one common share for a period of 3 years. 36,000 finder warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.22 per share and the remaining 508,389 finder warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.30 per share.
Net proceeds from the private placement will be used for the continued development of the Cerro Las Minitas (“CLM”) property, Durango, Mexico and for working capital. Specifically, the Company plans to initiate a program of resource expansion of up to 6000m of drilling in 11 holes to test shallow targets along the north side of the Cerro between the North Felsite and Skarn Front deposits. Drilling will start in early September. Work continues to de-risk the project through the initiation of base-line studies and continued social engagement.
As currently modelled, the CLM project features a large-scale underground mining operation with robust project economics and high gross revenues in a well located and mining friendly jurisdiction in southeast Durango, Mexico.
