Proceeds for Diamond Drilling at the Perseverance Porphyry Copper Project in Arizona, USA
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 14, 2019) - Cordoba Minerals Corp. (TSXV: CDB) (OTCQX: CDBMF)
("Cordoba" or the "Company") announces that it proposes to complete a non-brokered private placement (the
"Offering") of up to 20,000,000 units of the Company (the "Units") at a price of $0.10 per Unit, for gross proceeds
of up to $2,000,000. Each Unit will consist of one common share ("Share") of the Company and one common share purchase
warrant ("Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder, on exercise, to purchase one Share for a period of 24 months
following the closing date of the initial tranche of the Offering at the exercise price of $0.12 per Share.
The Company has received subscriptions for a total of 13.25 million Units, for gross proceeds of $1.325 million, including a
subscription for 2,500,000 Units (for gross proceeds of $250,000) from Cordoba's majority shareholder, High Power Exploration Inc.
("HPX"), and certain directors of the Company.
Net proceeds from the Offering will be used to advance exploration activities at the Perseverance Project in Arizona, USA, where
recent drilling has indicated proximity to a Laramide porphyry copper system (refer to Cordoba's news release dated January 21, 2019), and will include
continuation of drilling activities and preparation and permitting for geophysical surveys, including HPX's Typhoon™ technology.
Remaining funds will be used for general corporate purposes.
Closing of the Offering is expected to be completed in tranches and is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. The initial
closing (which will include the subscriptions received to date) will close as soon as practicable and the final tranche is expected
to close before March 1, 2019. Other directors and/or officers may participate in the Offering. The securities issued pursuant to
the Offering will be subject to a four-month hold period. The Company may pay eligible finders assisting in the Offering a fee in
cash and/or securities equal to 7% of the gross proceeds raised by such finders (and no finder's fee is payable on any of the
subscriptions received to date).
The Offering constitutes a "related party transaction" under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security
Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") as HPX is a related party of Cordoba given its greater than 10% beneficial
shareholding and the directors and officers that participate in the Offering are also related parties of Cordoba. Pursuant to
Section 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, the Company is exempt from obtaining a formal valuation and minority approval of the
Company's shareholders in respect of the Offering due to the fair market value of the related parties' participation in the
Offering being below 25% of the Company's market capitalization for purposes of MI 61-101. The Company will file a material change
report in respect of the Offering. However, the material change report will be filed less than 21 days prior to the closing of the
Offering, which is consistent with market practice and the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances.
