RJK Explorations Ltd. Announces Closing of Private Placement for Gross Proceeds of $310,000
RJK Explorations closes a $310,000 placement to fund diamond drilling at its cobalt project.
RJK Explorations Ltd. (RJX) announced the closing of a non-brokered private placement that raised gross proceeds of $310,000 CAD. The offering consisted of 15,500,000 units priced at $0.02 per unit, with each unit comprising one common share and one common share purchase warrant. The warrant terms grant the holder the right to purchase one additional common share at an exercise price of $0.05 for a period of five years from issuance.
Proceeds allocation is set at 60% for working capital and general corporate purposes, 30% to fund exploration programs on company properties, and up to 10% for investor relations. The offering is subject to final approval by the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV) and carries a four-month and one-day statutory hold period. Insider participation occurred, classified as a related-party transaction under Multilateral Instrument 61-101, with the company relying on exemptions from formal valuation and minority approval requirements.
RJK Explorations Ltd. (RJX) has closed a $310,000 financing, a routine capital raise for the pre-revenue junior explorer. The transaction follows an initial announcement in January 2026 and a previous $160,000 closing in March 2026.
The financing provides approximately three to four months of operating runway, based on a Q1 2026 cash burn of ~$103,000. This capital directly addresses the company's working capital deficiency of $202,008 reported in Q1 2026.
The deal adds ~15.5 million shares to the ~103.5 million share count, representing roughly 13-15% dilution at the $0.02 issue price. The news is incremental and aligns with the company's historical pattern of small-cap financings to sustain operations. It does not introduce new strategic partnerships, major discoveries, or changes to the royalty structure.
Market reaction is likely to be muted, as the pricing ($0.02) is at the lower end of the recent trading range ($0.02-$0.04), and the use of proceeds is standard for corporate survival and basic exploration.
RJK Explorations Ltd. (RJX) is a pre-revenue diamond exploration company focused on the Cobalt area of Northern Ontario. Its flagship assets include the Lorrain-Bucke townships properties, acquired from Record Resources Inc. for approximately 2,650 hectares, as well as the Peddie property.
Recent geological highlights from the Peddie property include the recovery of kimberlite indicator minerals and a micro-diamond, alongside ongoing drilling and magnetic surveys. RJK Explorations holds a 100% interest in the acquired claims, subject to a 2% vendors net smelter royalty (NSR) and a 1% gross overriding royalty (GOR) on diamonds, precious, and base metals. Record Resources retains 100% rights to any hydrogen or hydrocarbons discovered and holds a 1% GOR on diamond-bearing kimberlite pipes with a $500,000 buyback option.
