Nord Precious raises $1.6m to fund Castle East drilling as its stock hits 52-week lows.
Nord Precious Metals Mining Inc. closed a non-brokered flow-through share private placement, raising gross proceeds of $1.6 million. The company issued 8,888,888 flow-through shares at a price of $0.18 per share. Finder's fees were paid in cash totaling $112,000 and through the issuance of 622,222 non-transferable warrants exercisable at $0.18 for a period of two years. All securities carry a standard four-month and one-day hold period expiring February 8, 2027.
The proceeds are designated for exploration on the Castle East Project, qualifying as Canadian exploration expenses and flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures. The transaction remains subject to final acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.
Nord Precious Metals Mining Inc. (NTH) has executed a financing round at an issue price of $0.18, a figure slightly above the company’s current market price of $0.15. While this placement price suggests modest immediate upside, the stock remains at its 52-week low. The capital raise is consistent with the company’s historical pattern of funding exploration through equity markets, providing necessary working capital and exploration runway.
The transaction introduces incremental dilution, which is standard for a pre-revenue explorer. The financing does not alter the fundamental project economics, permitting status, or technical outlook, nor does it introduce a material change to the company's risk profile or development timeline.
