Toronto, Ontario – January 5, 2023 – Nevada Silver Corporation (“NSC”, or the “Company”) (TSX.V: NSC, OTCQB: NVDSF) is pleased to announce the completion of its previously announced reasonable “best efforts” marketed private placement (the “Offering”). A total of 21,212,000 common shares (the “Common Shares”) were sold at a price of $0.15 per Common Share and a total of 21,212,000 common share purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) were sold at a price of $0.015 per Warrant for combined gross proceeds of approximately $3.5 million. Each Warrant is exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $0.25 per share until January 5, 2025. The expiry date of the Warrants will accelerate in the event the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange is equal to or exceeds $0.30 per Common Share for a period of 20 consecutive trading days (an “Acceleration Event”). If an Acceleration Event occurs, the Warrants will expire 30 days after notice of such Acceleration Event.
Cormark Securities Inc. (the “Agent”) acted as sole agent in connection with the Offering. The Offering also included certain subscribers who settled directly with the Company (the “Direct Settlers”).
