North Arrow Minerals Inc. (TSXV-NAR)
(“
North Arrow” or “
the Company”)
is pleased to announce it has closed the non-brokered private
placement financing announced on April 24, 2023.
The Company has issued 22,976,999
non-flow-through units (the “Non-FT Units”) at a
price of $0.06 per Non-FT Unit and 13,066,500 flow-through units
(the “FT Units”) at a price of $0.08 per FT-Unit
for combined total gross proceeds of $2,423,940. Each Non-FT Unit
consisted of a single non-flow-through common share of the Company
(each a “Non-FT Share”) and one transferable
non-flow-through common share purchase warrant (each a
“Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to
purchase one additional Non-FT Share at a price of $0.10 for a
period of 24 months up to May 17, 2025.
Each FT Unit consisted of a single flow-through
common share of the Company (each a “FT Share”)
and one half (1/2) of one transferable non-flow-through common
share purchase warrant (each a “FT Warrant”). Each
whole FT Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one
non-flow-through common share of the Company at a price of $0.12
for a period of 24 months up to May 17, 2025. Each FT Share has
been issued as a “flow-through share” as defined in subsection
66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada). The Company will use the
gross proceeds from the offering of the FT Units to incur eligible
“Canadian exploration expenses” that will qualify as “Flow-through
critical mineral mining expenditures” as such terms are defined in
the Tax Act (the “Qualifying Expenditures”) on the
Company’s Canadian mineral exploration properties. The Qualifying
Expenditures will be incurred on or before December 31, 2024, and
will be renounced by the Company to the purchasers of the FT Units
with an effective date no later than December 31, 2023.
Insiders of the Company participated in the
private placement on the same terms and conditions as non-arm’s
length subscribers, subscribing for a total of 200,000 FT Units and
833,333 Non-FT Units for aggregate proceeds of $66,000.
Proceeds from the private placement will be used
to advance North Arrow’s Canadian lithium projects, particularly
its 100% owned DeStaffany Lithium Project located within the
Yellowknife Pegmatite Province, NWT, and for general corporate
purposes.
In connection with the placement, North Arrow
paid finder’s fees of $77,254.80 and 676,620 finder’s warrants (the
“Finder’s Warrants”). Each Finder’s Warrant has
the same terms as a Warrant. All securities issued in the private
placements are subject to a hold period expiring September 18,
2023.
About the DeStaffany Lithium
Project
The DeStaffany Lithium Project is located on the
shore of Great Slave Lake, approximately 115 km east of
Yellowknife, NWT. The property hosts the Moose 1 and Moose 2
lithium-tantalum-niobium pegmatites, which form part of the
Yellowknife Pegmatite Province. The Moose pegmatites were initially
evaluated in the 1940’s for tantalum and niobium. Despite the
exposure of very large spodumene crystals up to one metre in length
within historic mine workings, the Moose pegmatites have never been
subject to a focused evaluation of their lithium potential.
Spodumene is the primary lithium-bearing mineral of interest in
these deposits and sampling of exposed mineralization should allow
for spodumene recovery and characterization studies to be conducted
in parallel with initial delineation drilling in 2023. A review of
satellite imagery and historic rock geochemistry datasets has
identified additional target areas for potential discovery of new
spodumene pegmatites on the property.
Loki Project Royalty Sale
North Arrow has also closed the sale of 0.5%
royalty interests in the Loki Project for proceeds of $374,000, as
previously announced in a North Arrow news release dated March 6,
2023. The Loki Project is located in the Lac de Gras region of the
Northwest Territories.
On closing the sale, Umgeni Holdings
International Limited (“Umgeni”) increased its
royalty interests in the Loki Project from 2.0% to 2.5% in exchange
for payment of $374,000 to North Arrow. The royalties consist of
net smelter return royalties on base and precious metals and a
gross overriding royalty on diamonds. North Arrow has the option to
purchase 0.5% of the royalties by paying Umgeni $5,000,000 any time
up to 24 months after the start of commercial production from a
mine on the property. In addition, North Arrow will issue to Umgeni
1,000,000 shares of North Arrow upon announcement of a new
kimberlite discovery on the property and will issue a further
5,000,000 shares of North Arrow upon announcement of a mineral
resource (in any category) in respect of a kimberlite within the
property.
Umgeni is a private company of which Christopher
Jennings, a director of North Arrow, is a beneficiary of the sole
shareholder.
The issuance of any shares to an insider
constitutes a "related party transaction", as defined under
Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). The
transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority
shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair
market value of any shares issued to, nor the consideration paid,
by such persons would exceed 25% of North Arrow’s market
capitalization.
North Arrow’s exploration programs are conducted
under the direction of Kenneth Armstrong, P.Geo., President and CEO
of North Arrow and a Qualified Person under NI 43-101. Mr.
Armstrong has reviewed and approved the technical contents of this
press release.
