Surge Copper (SURG-V) Amends The Terms Of Its Recently Announced Financing, While Ootsa Drill Preparations Are Underway

Oct 2nd 2020 - NR

Surge Copper Corp. has amended the terms of the financing announced on Sept. 29, 2020. The company has had very strong individual and institutional investor demand for the financing, including participation by Altius Resources Inc. and six other resource-focused institutions, and has increased the flow-through component from $5,454,545 to $6-million. The total interest in the financing was multiples of the total placement size, including the participation of over 50 entities. The new board and advisory members are subscribing to approximately half of the financing.

Amended financing

Total proceeds of the non-brokered private placement will still be $6.5-million with the amended offering consisting of up to 3,846,154 units priced at 13 cents per unit for gross proceeds up to $500,000 and 40 million flow-through units priced at 15 cents for gross flow-through proceeds of up to $6-million. Each HD unit consists of one common share and one share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder to acquire an additional common share of the company at an exercise price of 17 cents per share for a period of three years from the closing date of the private placement. Each FT unit will consist of one flow-through share and one share purchase warrant entitling the holder to purchase an additional non-flow-through common share at a price of 17 cents for a period of three years.

The gross proceeds from the flow-through unit offering will be used to incur "Canadian exploration expenses" that will qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" as those terms are defined in the Income Tax Act, which will be renounced to the initial purchasers of the flow-through shares. The net proceeds of the offering will be used to expedite and expand upcoming drilling at the Ootsa property, to identify and advance new exploration opportunities, and for general corporate and working capital needs.

The HD units are expected to close on or around Oct. 9, 2020, and the FT units are expected to close on or around Oct. 23, 2020. This financing is subject to final TSX Venture Exchange approval.

Ootsa drilling update

Planning is under way to mobilize a drill rig to the Ootsa property to drill test a new geophysical target recently discovered on the east side of the Seel trend, among other exploration targets and resource expansion drilling. A field crew will be dispatched to Ootsa next week to begin making preparations. Details of the full drill program will be announced in the next few weeks. The project has full exploration permits in good standing until March 31, 2023, and is supported by all-season camp facilities and road.

About Surge Copper Corp.

The company owns a 100-per-cent interest in the Ootsa property, an advanced-stage exploration project containing the East Seel, West Seel and Ox porphyry deposits located adjacent to the open-pit Huckleberry copper mine. The property contains National Instrument 43-101-compliant resources of 224 million tonnes in the measured and indicated categories with contained metals of 1.1 billion pounds of copper, one million ounces of gold and 20 million ounces of silver as summarized in the attached table.

On Feb. 9, 2016, the company announced a positive preliminary economic assessment (PEA) for the Ootsa property with potential for low capital cost, low risk and rapid payback utilizing existing infrastructure in the district with a contract mining and toll milling scenario. The company currently has no agreement in place to access the existing mining and milling infrastructure in the district.

Notes: The current technical report supporting the resource statement and PEA is available on SEDAR or the company's website and has an effective date of January, 2016. The resource estimate uses a net smelter return cut-off value of $8.50 per tonne. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and by definition do not demonstrate economic viability. There is no certainty that all or any part of the mineral resource will be converted into mineral reserves. A measured mineral resource is that part of a mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape, and physical characteristics are so well established that they can be estimated with confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters, to support production planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. An indicated mineral resource is that part of a mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape, and physical characteristics can be estimated with a level of confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. Copper equivalent calculations are based on base-case metal price ($3 (U.S. per pound copper, $1,260 (U.S.) per ounce gold, $10.30 (U.S.) per pound molybdenum and $17 (U.S.) per ounce silver) and process recovery assumptions and take into account smelter payable rates and refining costs. M&I refers to measured and indicated.

The resource update and preliminary economic assessment were completed by P&E Mining Consultants Inc. in accordance with National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

Dr. Shane Ebert, PGeo, is the qualified person for the Ootsa project as defined by NI 43-101 and has approved the technical disclosure contained in this news release.
