[{"type":"text","content":" MONTREAL, April 09, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kintavar Exploration Inc. (the “Corporation” or “Kintavar”) (TSX-V:KTR) (FRANKFURT:58V), is pleased to announce that it has closed the first tranche of 6,250,000 units (each a “Unit”) of a non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”) for gross proceeds of $2,500,000. This tranche is part of a total Offering of up to 28,750,000 Units at a price of $0.40 per Unit and 6,574,074 common shares of the Corporation issued on a flow through basis, at a price of $0.54 per share for total aggregate gross proceeds of up to $15,000,000. Each Unit is comprised of one (1) common share (each a “Share”) and one half of one (1/2) Share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant entitling the holder to acquire one (1) Share of the Corporation at a price of $0.70 per Share until April 6, 2020. The Caisse de Dépôt et Placement du Québec (“CDPQ”) has participated in this financing. The Company anticipates closing of the final tranche of the Offering on or about April 30, 2018. The Corporation will use the proceeds of the Offering for the upcoming drilling program on the Mitchi property and for working capital purposes. All securities issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to the applicable statutory four month hold period. “It is with great pleasure that we welcome the Caisse de Dépôt et Placement du Québec as a significant shareholder in Kintavar. The company’s recent discovery of stratiform copper mineralization at the Mitchi project in the Grenville geological province, has opened up new opportunities for the mining industry in the Laurentian region. We are excited to be moving on to the next stage of exploration on the Mitchi project. With this financing, we are targeting to complete up to 30,000 meters of diamond drilling over the next 12 to 18 months including drilling on each of the three favorable sedimentary corridors: Sherlock, Nasigon and Hispana. Each corridor presents by itself as a large target area of potential copper mineralization and needs to be looked at individually from an exploration point of view.
