Financing
The Financing was completed for gross proceeds of $2,144,500. A total of 42,890,000 common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”) were issued at a price of $0.05 per share.
In connection with obtaining final approval of the TSXV for the Financing, the Company received disinterested shareholder approval of the Financing and the creation of a new “Control Person” (as such term is defined under the policies of the TSXV) in the form of written consents obtained from holders of more than 51% of the currently issued and outstanding voting shares of the Company.
The Common Shares issued pursuant to the Financing are subject to a hold period that, in addition to the resale restrictions imposed under applicable securities laws, expires in two portions: (1) for 50% of a subscriber’s purchased securities, on the date that is six months following the closing date of the Financing, and (2) for the remaining 50% of a subscriber’s purchased securities, on the date that is 12 months following the closing date of the Financing.
The proceeds of the Financing will be used to settle certain of Prospector’s current liabilities, to fund a $200,000 exploration drilling program on Prospector’s Kalzas Property, to pursue asset acquisitions and for general corporate purposes. No finder’s fees were paid on the proceeds of the Financing.
New Board and Management
Upon closing of the transactions, all current directors of Prospector have resigned and Alex Black, Klaus Zeitler and Daniel Kenney have been appointed to the board. Mr. Black will act as Chairman, CEO and President and Mr. Kenney will act as Corporate Secretary. Anthony Jackson will continue to act as CFO.
