VR CLOSES FINANCING FOR GROSS PROCEEDS OF APPROXIMATELY $1.9 MILLION

VR Resources Ltd. has closed the recently announced non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of $1.88-million. Plans are now under way to commence drilling next month at the company's REE (rare earth element) critical metals project at Hecla-Kilmer and the kimberlite discovery nearby at Northway, located in Northern Ontario.

The first tranche of the financing was recently closed for gross proceeds of approximately $1.7-million as described in the news release dated April 19, 2023. Today, the company issued today an additional 1,270,743 units, as defined below, for gross proceeds of $177,904 to close the financing.

The completed financing in its entirety breaks down as follows:

  • Flow-through private placement, consisting of 7,971,250 units at a price of 16 cents per unit for total gross proceeds of $1,275,400;
  • Hard-dollar private placement, consisting of 4,300,743 units at a price of 14 cents per unit for total gross proceeds of $602,104.

Use of proceeds going forward

VR will use the net proceeds of the financing for its mineral exploration business, including active exploration on various mineral properties held in Ontario, Canada, and Nevada, USA.

Ontario

The successful close of the financing allows the company to commence its spring drill program in Northern Ontario. The camp was reopened last week and is ready for the start-up of drilling planned for next week on the kimberlite breccia pipe at Northway, followed by drilling at the nearby Hecla-Kilmer REE critical metal project. Drilling is expected to take approximately one month to complete.

Nevada

The company will also use funds from the financing to execute two state-of-the-art geophysical surveys this spring on the large-footprint, polymetallic copper-moly-silver porphyry alteration and sheeted vein system on its New Boston property in west-central Nevada.
