MOGOTES METALS ANNOUNCES $10 MILLION BOUGHT DEAL FINANCING
Mogotes Secures Massive $29M Capital Influx for Filo Sur as CD Capital and Institutional Lenders Bet on Vicuna District
On January 6, 2026, Mogotes Metals announced a $10 million bought deal private placement led by Stifel Canada. The company will issue 31,250,000 units at $0.32 per unit. Each unit includes one common share and one warrant exercisable at $0.53 for 36 months. This news comes immediately after a January 5, 2026, announcement of a $19 million private placement at $0.265 per unit with CD Capital Fund IV L.P., bringing total capital raised in 48 hours to $29 million. Funds are earmarked for exploration and development at the Filo Sur property and general working capital.
The impact of these concurrent financings is fundamentally transformative for the company's balance sheet but comes at a steep cost of dilution. - Institutional Endorsement: The entry of CD Capital (a specialist resource fund) and the participation of Stifel in a bought deal signify high confidence in the Filo Sur project's proximity to the Lundin/BHP Filo del Sol discovery. - Liquidity Transformation: As of August 31, 2025, the company had $25.7 million in cash but was burning roughly $1.5 million per month on exploration and G&A. The new $29 million ensures the 5,000-meter diamond drilling program is fully funded through the 2026 season. - Pricing Disconnect: The bought deal is priced at $0.32, which is a 23.8% discount to the January 5 closing price of $0.42. The previous day's placement was at $0.265, a 36.9% discount. This suggests that while there is significant demand, the company had to offer deep discounts to lock in the capital. - Dilution: Between the two rounds, approximately 103 million new shares will be issued, representing roughly a 27% increase in the total shares outstanding.
