The company said the funds will be used primarily for exploration on Mountain Boy's Telegraph property in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia.
In a statement, Lawrence Roulston, Mountain Boy CEO, said: "These new funds, added to the existing working capital, puts Mountain Boy in a strong position to continue exploration on our Telegraph copper-gold property. The information gained from this year's program will be integrated with the wealth of information from previous work to guide us in the next phase of work."

Mountain Boy said it raised gross proceeds of $701,000 from the sale of 5,841,667 FT units.

The price of each FT unit is $0.12. Each FT warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share of the company at a price of $0.18 for a period of 29 months, expiring on January 26, 2025.
In addition, Mountain Boy also closed a non-brokered private placement of 582,000 NFT units at $0.12 each for gross proceeds of $69,840. Each NFT unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share of the company at a price of $0.12 for a period of 24 months, expiring on August 26, 2024.
The company said finder's fees of 7% cash and 7% in finder's warrants were paid to eligible parties. All securities are subject to a four-month hold period expiring on December 27, 2022, it added.

Mountain Boy has six active projects spanning 650 square kilometres (64,960 hectares) in the prolific Golden Triangle of northern British Columbia.
The American Creek project is centered on the historic Mountain Boy silver mine and is just north of the past producing Red Cliff gold and copper mine (in which the company holds an interest). The American Creek project is road accessible and 20 kilometres (km) from the deep-water port of Stewart.
On the BA property, 182 drill holes have outlined a substantial zone of silver-lead-zinc mineralization located 4 km from the highway.
Surprise Creek is interpreted to be hosted by the same prospective stratigraphy as the BA property and hosts multiple occurrences of silver, gold, and base metals.
On the Theia project, work by Mountain Boy and previous explorers has outlined a silver-bearing mineralized trend 500 metres long, highlighted by a 2020 grab sample that returned 39 kg per tonne silver (1,100 ounces per ton).
Southmore is in the midst of some of the largest deposits in the Golden Triangle. It was explored in the 1980s through the early 1990s and was overlooked until Mountain Boy consolidated the property and confirmed the presence of multiple occurrences of gold, copper, lead, and zinc.
An active field program is currently underway on the Telegraph project. The 289 square kilometre Telegraph Project is located in the vicinity of several large porphyry deposits including Galore Creek (Teck - Newmont), Schaft Creek (Teck - Copper Fox), Big Red (Libero Copper and Gold), Saddle and Saddle North (Newmont) and the operating Red Chris copper-gold mine (Imperial Metals - Newcrest).
