Mackay Gold & Silver Corp. to Commence Trading April 24th Following TSX Venture Exchange Final Approval

Mackay Gold Resumes Trading After $60M Raise, But Dilution Looms

Executive Summary
  • Mackay Gold & Silver Corp., formerly Drummond Ventures Corp., received final TSX Venture Exchange approval for its business combination with Toro Silver Corp.
  • The company will resume trading on April 24, 2026, under the new symbol "MACK".
  • A three-cornered amalgamation was completed on April 17, 2026.
  • A share consolidation of 3-for-1 was implemented prior to resumption.
  • Concurrent financing closed on April 1, 2026, raising US$60.3 million via a non-brokered private placement at $1.40 per subscription receipt.
  • Proceeds are allocated for exploration in Nevada's Comstock District, salaries, and working capital.
Material Impact
  • The news confirms the administrative completion of previously announced milestones (financing closed April 1, amalgamation completed April 17).
  • There is no new information regarding asset valuation, resource estimates, or strategic partnerships beyond what was implied by the financing close earlier in the month.
  • The $60 million capital raise provides significant runway for exploration, reducing immediate liquidity risk compared to typical junior miners.
  • However, the share consolidation (3:1) and issuance of 43 million new shares at $1.40 indicate substantial dilution for existing shareholders prior to the amalgamation.
  • The trading resumption is a procedural step following the substantive events that occurred weeks prior.
