Skeena Proposes Flow-Through Financing
|
| | Skeena Resources Limited (TSX Venture Exchange: SKE) proposes to raise up to $250,000 through the issuance of flow-through Units. Each unit will be sold at a price of $0.45 per share and will consist of one flow-through share and one half of a non flow-through share purchase warrant. Each full warrant will be exercisable into one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.75 for a period of one year.
This non-brokered financing is subject to regulatory approval and finders' fees may be paid to accredited agents on that portion of the funds raised by third parties. The shares issued under this financing will be subject to a hold period of four months plus one day from the date of closing of the offering.
The proceeds from this financing will be used to advance the Company's 100% owned, 5,000 hectare Blackhorn Property located in the eastern margin of the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains of west-central BC, 40 km. south-southwest of the settlement of Tatla Lake. The claims cover a number of high-grade, gold-bearing, quartz-carbonate veins and base metal showings (copper and nickel sulphides) in a complex setting of imbricate thrust sheets of Mesozoic volcanics and sediments and Late Cretaceous to Early Tertiary intrusives. The most significant of the showings are hosted within a band of schistose rocks along the 4.5 km long Blackhorn Trend.
This unit hosts the Blackhorn Vein which is reported to average a cut value of 34.7 g/t Au (plus high concentrations of silver, lead, zinc and copper) over an average width of 0.43 m for a length of 51.7 m in an underground drift. At the Homestake Mine, at the south end of the Blackhorn Trend, reports from the late 1930's noted a narrow quartz vein which assayed up to 1.47 oz/ton Au. This structure also hosts the Hunting Lodge, Galena and Milk Can Showings further to the north, and the HW zone, a poorly exposed quartz stockwork occurrence from which a series of historical grab samples yielded an average of 21 g/t Au with minor silver and copper values. In another area 2.5 km farther east, the Champagne and Lori Showings consist of numerous, un-sourced, well-mineralized boulders of sulphide-bearing, quartz-carbonate veins assaying from 1 to 89 g/t Au in an area of poor bedrock exposure (BC Government assessment files and Minister of Mines reports). Additionally, a number of regional stream sediment geochemical anomalies, up to 407 ppb Au, warrant further investigation. A field program will commence in late June.
