TORONTO, Jan. 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Olivut Resources Ltd. (“Olivut” or the “Company”) (TSXV:OLV) is pleased to announce that the Company has closed a non-brokered private placement (the “Private Placement”) comprised of 6,000,000 common shares (the “Common Shares”) for proceeds of $300,000 at a price of $0.05 per Common Share. The Common Shares are subject to resale restrictions pursuant to applicable securities laws requirements and will not be freely tradable until four months after the date of issue.
The Private Placement was unanimously approved by the directors of the Company.
Olivut will use the proceeds of the Private Placement for exploration and general corporate purposes.
The TSX Venture Exchange conditionally approved for listing the Common Shares issued under the Private Placement on January 27, 2023.
Olivut is a diamond exploration company with a 100% mineral interest in the HOAM Project (the “HOAM Project”) and a 50% interest in the Seahorse Project (the Seahorse Project”), both projects being located in Canada’s Northwest Territories.
The HOAM Project has numerous drill ready targets. The Company considers the Seahorse Project to have the potential to host diamondiferous kimberlite bodies of significant size and perhaps other mineral deposits, based on a combination of: 2019 drill program results; favourable diamond stability indicator minerals found regionally and locally, including 18 macro diamonds found in regional samples to the west and northwest; specific geophysical targets; regional and local faults that would favour kimberlite emplacement; occurrence of diamondiferous kimberlites to the north and southeast, as well as other geochemical data in the area.
The Coronavirus pandemic prevented any field work being conducted since the last fall drilling program in 2019. Completion of further work programs is contingent on the raising of funds and potential supply chain disruptions and additional related costs arising from the Coronavirus pandemic, particularly on planning and work in the Northwest Territories.
