Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – June 5, 2024) – Barksdale Resources Corp. (TSXV: BRO) (“Barksdale” or the “Company“) announces a non-brokered private placement financing of 26,666,667 units (the “Units“) at a price of $0.15 per Unit for gross proceeds to the Company of $4,000,000 (the “Offering“). Each Unit will consist of one common share of Barksdale (a “Common Share“) and one Common Share purchase warrant (a “Warrant“). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.23 for a period of three years from the date of issuance. Several existing shareholders, including Crescat Capital LLC (“Crescat“), have cumulatively committed a minimum of $2,500,000 to the Offering.
Dr. Quinton Hennigh, Technical and Geologic Director of Crescat Capital, a strategic investor in Barksdale, stated: “It is hard to think of a project with superior geological potential as Barksdale’s Sunnyside property located in the Patagonia mining district, Arizona. Immediately adjacent to Sunnyside on its eastern boundary is the world class Taylor carbonate replacement deposit where South32 is currently investing $2.1B to construct a large-scale new zinc-lead-silver mine. Strong evidence indicates that the Taylor deposit extends onto the Sunnyside property where it is rooted in the presumed heat engine, the Sunnyside porphyry. While this target alone is compelling, evidence suggests that a series of CRD deposits encircle the Sunnyside porphyry radiating outward like spokes around the hub of a wagon wheel. We here at Crescat are fully committed to seeing Barksdale unlock the enormous potential of the Sunnyside project.”
Rick Trotman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Barksdale, stated, “With the backing of our largest shareholders, we are excited to begin the next phase of drilling at Sunnyside. The focus over the next few months will be on solidifying our ownership stake in the Sunnyside project as the drill program demonstrates the potential of this substantial mineral system.”
The proceeds of the Offering will be used to finance exploration activities at the Company’s properties in Arizona as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes. Closing is expected to occur on or about June 25, 2024. All securities issued by Barksdale will be subject to a minimum hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance and completion of the Offering is subject to customary closing conditions, including acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange“).
The securities described herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act“), or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold within the United States except in compliance with the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or pursuant to available exemptions therefrom. This release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy of any securities in the United States.
