P2 Gold Upsizes Financing
P2 Gold’s latest top-up financing locks in Quaternary Group’s commitment as the Gabbs feasibility revs up; the real catalyst remains the feasibility study, not the cheque book.
P2 Gold is increasing the size of its non-brokered private placement from 15 million to 15.5 million units at $0.75 per unit, for gross proceeds of up to $11.625 million. Strategic investor Quaternary Group Limited is subscribing for 10 million units. Each unit includes one common share and one two‑year warrant exercisable at $1.50. Proceeds are earmarked for exploration and development at the 100%‑owned Gabbs gold‑copper project in Nevada and for general corporate purposes. The placement is expected to close in about two weeks, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.
The upsizing is a marginal increase (0.5 million units, $375,000 in additional gross proceeds) of an already announced financing. The key terms – price, warrant strike, Quaternary’s leading participation – are unchanged. The market had already absorbed the initial $7.5 million (April 22), then the upsize to $11.25 million (April 29); this third adjustment adds little new information. No new strategic investor is introduced, and the company’s capital position was already robust. The news does not alter the project’s fundamentals or timeline. It is, therefore, a routine follow‑on that signals continued insider/strategic backing but carries no material surprise. The stock’s 8%+ gains on May 11–12 were driven by the feasibility study update (boosted production rate and earlier mill start), not the financing news.
P2 Gold is a junior explorer/developer focused on the Gabbs gold‑copper project in Nye County, Nevada. Gabbs is a large, open‑pit, heap‑leach and mill operation with existing infrastructure (paved highway, power, water rights). The 2025 PEA outlined a 14.2‑year mine life producing 1.55 Moz gold, 2.48 Moz silver, and 470 Mlb copper, with an after‑tax NPV (5%) of US$2.25 billion and IRR of 77.5%. The most recent feasibility study update (May 11, 2026) increased the nominal processing rate to 12 Mt/y and advanced mill production to year three, targeting annual output of 150,000 oz gold and 45–50 Mlb copper. The project has substantial inferred resources (2.29 Moz AuEq) that remain open in all directions, offering exploration upside. No royalties are mentioned in the public documents, suggesting the property is royalty‑free.
