GGX Gold Corp (CVE:GGX) (OTCMKTS:GGXXF) said Wednesday it will raise up to $1.7 million in a non-brokered private placement as it looks to continue exploration at its Gold Drop property, located in southern BC.
The firm said it will raise up to $700,000 in non-flow-through financing and up to $1.05-million in flow-through financing.
Proceeds from the private placement will be used for the continued exploration work on the Gold Drop property, potential project acquisitions, property option payments as well as general working capital.
The firm recently announced it has now completed 20 diamond drill holes on the COD vein at the Gold Drop project in British Columbia since the exploration season began in mid-April. Ten of the holes hit the COD quartz vein at their target depths, of which eight were visibly mineralized with pyrite.
