TUCSON, AZ / ACCESSWIRE / May 14, 2024 / Western Alaska Minerals (the "Company" or "WAM") (TSXV:WAM) is pleased to announce that, further to its news releases dated April 18, 2024, April 22, 2024, April 26, 2024, May 3, 2024, and May 8, 2024, the Company has closed a second and final tranche (the "Second Tranche") of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the "Offering"), issuing 200,000 units of the Company ("Units") for additional gross proceeds of C$130,000. In aggregate under the Offering, the Company issued 4,012,981 Units at a price of $0.65 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of C$2,608,437.65.
Each Unit is comprised of one subordinate voting share in the authorized share structure of the Company (a "Share") and one Share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Share (a "Warrant Share") at an exercise price of C$0.90 per Warrant Share for 36 months from the date of issuance.
The Company is pleased to report that pursuant to the Offering, when combined with the brokered offering of Units via prospectus supplement which closed on April 26, 2024, it has raised aggregate gross proceeds of C$8,720,616.45 and issued 13,416,333 Units.
The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to fund the Company's 2024 exploration program, including step-out drilling at the LH and Warm Springs target zones that are new targets identified by the 2023-completed geophysical program, and for general corporate purposes.
