·4 min read

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION OR DISSEMINATION DIRECTLY, OR INDIRECTLY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES

TORONTO, Aug. 10, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kerr Mines Inc. (TSX: KER, OTC: KERMF), (“Kerr” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced bought deal financing for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,000,800 (the “Offering”).

Pursuant to the Offering, the Company issued a total of 35,720,000 units of the Company (the “Units”) at a price of C$0.14 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company (a “Common Share”) and one half of one Common Share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at a price of C$0.22 for a period of 24 months. Haywood Securities Inc. acted as sole underwriter for the Offering.

Giulio T. Bonifacio, Chief Executive Officer, stated: “We are extremely pleased with the strong investor demand, including from a broad base of new investors, which resulted in the upsize of the initial bought deal offering. With funding in hand, the Company will commence its 2020 resource and reserve expansion drilling program, consisting of 8,000 meters, which will expand upon a very successful drilling program in 2019. A drill contractor has been selected and a drill rig is currently being mobilized to the Copperstone project. With our recent agreement to buy-back a 3 per cent gross production royalty the Company is well positioned for the restart of production at the Copperstone gold project, subject to arranging project financing.”
