Anonymous
Zacatecas Silver Corp. has completed the final tranche of a fundraising round, bringing in $2.5 million total to fund exploration work in Mexico. The company sold 35.7 million units at $0.07 each across two tranches, Pincher Creek Echo reported. The second and final tranche alone generated $1.02 million from 14.6 million units.
The Toronto Venture Exchange-listed explorer will use the proceeds to launch its first drill program at the Oso Negro project in Sonora. A company director participated in the offering by buying 300,000 units. The company also paid $4,256 in finder fees and issued 60,805 share purchase warrants to intermediaries.
Exploration Company Closes $2.5 Million Fundraise
Zacatecas Silver Corp., which trades on multiple exchanges under ticker symbols TSXV: ZAC, OTCQB: ZCTSF, and FRA: 7TV, has wrapped up its private placement offering. Financial Post describes the company as a multi-asset precious metals explorer with six projects spread across four Mexican states including Zacatecas, Sonora, Morelos, and Oaxaca. The company sold 35.7 million units at seven cents per unit, bringing gross proceeds to $2.5 million.
The offering came in two phases. The first tranche generated about $1.48 million, while the second tranche added $1.02 million. Charles Hethey, one of the company's directors, participated by purchasing 300,000 units in the second phase. This personal investment signals insider confidence in the company's exploration plans.
Oso Negro Project Heads to Maiden Drilling Stage
The capital raised will fund Zacatecas Silver's first drill program at its Oso Negro property located in Sonora, Mexico. This marks a key milestone for the exploration company as it transitions from early-stage work to active drilling. The timing places the company in position to test mineral targets at the property during the coming months.
Oso Negro represents one of Zacatecas Silver's six properties across Mexico. The company's portfolio spans multiple mineral-rich states, positioning it to pursue precious metals discoveries. Drill funding often signals that a project has advanced through initial geological surveys and mapping work.
Intermediary Fees and Insider Participation
The company paid total finder fees of $4,256.42 to intermediaries who helped secure investors for the placement, Hanna Herald reported. Beyond cash fees, the company also issued 60,805 non-transferable share purchase warrants to finders. These warrants give intermediaries the right to buy additional shares at a set price, aligning their interests with future share price performance.
Director participation in the second tranche demonstrates management confidence. When company insiders invest their own money alongside other shareholders, it typically reassures the broader investor base. The $2.5 million raise at $0.07 per unit gives the company financial runway for its exploration program.
