Veeco launches Lumina+ MOCVD system, receives Rocket Lab order
VANCOUVER - Scorpio Gold Corporation (TSXV:SGN) (OTCQB:SRCRF) announced Wednesday it has closed an $8 million non-brokered private placement through the issuance of 32 million common shares at $0.25 per share. The company’s stock has shown remarkable momentum, delivering a 380% return over the past six months and currently trading near its 52-week high of $0.34.
The financing was primarily backed by prominent mining investors, with Ross Beaty contributing $4.4 million, Eric Sprott investing $3 million, and four members of the Lumina Group providing $600,000. The company paid $90,000 in cash finder’s fees. According to InvestingPro analysis, Scorpio Gold operates with a moderate debt level, though its current ratio of 0.47 indicates potential liquidity challenges.
Scorpio Gold plans to use the proceeds to advance exploration and development at its Manhattan District Project in Nevada and for general corporate purposes. All securities issued in the financing are subject to a four-month plus one-day hold period in accordance with Canadian securities laws.
The transaction remains subject to final approval from the TSX Venture Exchange.
Scorpio Gold holds a 100% interest in the Manhattan Mine, a past-producing site located in Nevada’s Walker Lane Trend. The company’s Manhattan District includes the Goldwedge Project with a 400-ton per day gravity mill and the adjacent 4,300-acre Manhattan Project, which was acquired from Kinross in 2021.
