Extorre Gold Mines closes $25m private placement financing
Extorre Gold Mines (TSE:XG, AMEX:XG) said Tuesday it has closed its $25.2 million bought deal private placement financing.
The company issued 2.4 million common shares at a price of $10.50 each. The offering was conducted by a syndicate of underwriters, who received a cash commission, as well as broker warrants.
The proceeds from the financing will be used to explore and develop the company's mineral projects in Argentina.
In late June, Extorre announced it expanded the scope of its economic study for the company's Cerro Moro project in Argentina, including a larger production scenario to reflect recent drilling success and the increasing gold and silver inventory on the property.
The preliminary economic assessment (PEA) study is due out in the middle of July, the company said, and will be categorised as a PEA instead of a pre-feasibility study (PFS) to allow for the inclusion of additional mineralized zones, with a portion of the resource now being inferred, as opposed to higher confidence categories.
The company chose to do this as prefeasibility studies can only be followed by another of the same kind, or a feasibility study, and the recent Zoe find at the property would thus have to be fully drilled off to the "indicated" resource category before Extorre could undertake a PFS - potentially taking up to one year.
