Street Calls of the Week
VANCOUVER - Standard Uranium Ltd. (TSXV:STND) (OTCQB:STTDF), whose stock has surged over 50% in the past six months, has closed the initial tranche of its non-brokered private placement, raising gross proceeds of $836,100, the uranium exploration company announced Tuesday. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a positive cash position relative to debt, though it faces accelerating cash burn rates.
The company issued 7,751,250 non-flow-through units at $0.08 each for proceeds of $620,100, and 2,160,000 flow-through units at $0.10 each for proceeds of $216,000. Each non-flow-through unit consists of one common share and one-half of a common share purchase warrant, while flow-through units include one flow-through common share and one-half warrant. The financing comes at a crucial time, as InvestingPro analysis shows the company’s current ratio of 0.19 indicates potential liquidity challenges.
Each whole warrant entitles holders to purchase one common share at $0.15 until September 16, 2027.
In connection with the transaction, Standard Uranium paid $33,275 in finders’ fees and issued 393,450 non-transferable share purchase warrants to arms-length parties who assisted with the offering.
Proceeds will fund exploration of the company’s Saskatchewan uranium projects and working capital needs. Funds from flow-through units will be used for Canadian exploration expenses as defined by the Income Tax Act, with renouncement to purchasers effective no later than December 31, 2025.
All securities issued in this tranche will be subject to a statutory hold period until January 17, 2026. The company plans to complete a further tranche of the offering.
Certain officers and their affiliates participated in the offering, purchasing 337,500 non-flow-through units, which constitutes a related party transaction under applicable regulations.
Standard Uranium holds interests in over 233,455 acres in Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin, according to the company’s press release statement. With a market capitalization of approximately $7.4 million and trading below its book value at a Price/Book ratio of 0.68, InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock may be undervalued despite its recent volatility.
