Filed Company Filing type Summary Source
Greenridge Exploration Inc. Private Placement Greenridge Exploration (CSE: GXP) arranged a C$3.0M non-brokered private placement (13,111,888 units at C$0.2288/unit) with a leading Southeast Asian energy conglomerate, granting the investor approximately 17.17% non-diluted ownership in a single transaction. The company holds one of Canada's largest uranium property portfolios (167,573 ha across 13 projects) plus gold and nickel exposure totaling ~242,239 ha of Canadian landholdings. A strategic anchor from the global energy sector reflects cross-sector demand for Canadian critical mineral and uranium exposure, and the 17% single-investor block is a significant governance and capital structure development. Filing
Abasca Resources Inc. Private Placement Abasca Resources (TSXV: ABA) announced a non-brokered private placement of up to C$3.0M via 10M flow-through shares at C$0.25 and 2.5M non-FT shares at C$0.20 for the Key Lake South flake graphite project in northern Saskatchewan. This follows a July 14 resource update at the Loki Deposit (Indicated: 6.99 Mt at 8.27% Cg; Inferred: 15.83 Mt at 6.93% Cg). Graphite is a federally designated critical mineral for battery anodes, and a pending NI 43-101 technical report expected within 45 days adds near-term catalysts to a well-located Saskatchewan asset. Filing
Azimut Exploration Inc. Private Placement Azimut Exploration (TSXV: AZM) announced a non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds up to C$7,000,000, comprising 6,038,647 flow-through shares at C$0.828 and 3,333,333 hard dollar shares at C$0.60, with closing expected ~August 10, 2026. Proceeds fund exploration at the Elmer gold property (hosting the Patwon resource-stage deposit) and the Wabamisk/Lithos Zone lithium project in Quebec. The dual-tranche structure with strong flow-through demand signals institutional conviction across both gold and lithium commodity vectors from one of Quebec's most prolific junior explorers. Filing
Wayfinder Metals Corp. Private Placement Wayfinder Metals Corp. (CSE: WMC) closed its oversubscribed non-brokered private placement on July 17, 2026, issuing 8,737,795 units at $0.12 per unit for gross proceeds of $1,048,535. Each unit includes one share and one-half warrant exercisable at $0.20 for two years; 234,510 finder's warrants were also issued. The oversubscribed close—on a recently renamed company (formerly Westmount Minerals Corp.) that consolidated shares 4:1 on July 13—signals retail and institutional appetite for this base and precious metals explorer. Filing
Kairos Gold Inc. Private Placement Kairos Gold (TSXV: KIRO), a subsidiary of Lithium Chile Inc., closed a C$9,824,341 non-brokered private placement (16,373,902 units at C$0.60; full warrants at C$0.88 for 24 months), upsized 64% from its original C$6M target on strong investor demand. KIRO is a recently listed TSX-V gold explorer with a Lithium Chile parentage, creating a dual-metal critical-minerals angle. The oversubscription to C$9.82M signals robust gold exploration appetite and provides a well-funded runway for the inaugural drill program. Filing
Pacific Empire Minerals Corp. Private Placement Pacific Empire Minerals (TSXV: PEMC), a British Columbia copper-gold explorer, increased the size of its non-brokered private placement due to strong investor demand as of July 15, 2026. PEMC is focused on copper-gold exploration in BC — a jurisdiction benefiting from elevated base metal prices and permitting reform momentum in 2026. The upsizing of an oversubscribed placement is a constructive signal for capital markets confidence in the BC copper-gold exploration thesis, though specific dollar terms were not available in filings reviewed. Filing
Metals Creek Resources Corp. Private Placement Metals Creek Resources (TSXV: MEK) increased the non-flow-through component of its non-brokered private placement, reaching an aggregate total of C$2.5M — comprising 27,272,727 FT units at C$0.055 and 20,000,000 NFT units at C$0.05, each with 24-month warrants (NFT at C$0.08, FT at C$0.08), closing expected on or before July 31, 2026. The upsizing of the non-flow-through tranche signals broader retail and strategic investor demand beyond the tax-advantaged portion. At this micro-cap price level, MEK warrants represent meaningful optionality and the deal is a constructive signal for the company's exploration pipeline in gold and base metals. Filing
Zacatecas Silver Corp. Private Placement Zacatecas Silver Corp. (TSXV: ZAC; OTCQB: ZCTSF) announced a non-brokered private placement of up to C$2,500,000 on July 14, 2026 to fund its maiden drill program at the Oso Negro silver-gold epithermal project in Sonora, Mexico, subject to TSXV acceptance. Oso Negro's Prospecto and Tere vein systems (3 km combined strike) returned up to 2,340 g/t Ag and 14.8 g/t Au in Phase 2 rock-chip sampling; the undrilled high-grade target is material for the silver exploration community and the deal funds first-drill-bit catalysts.
