Tempus Resources Ltd (ASX:TMR, TSX-V:TMRR) has upscaled its non-brokered private placement to C$1.3 million (~A$1.444 million) after receiving a strong response from investors.
Last week that company launched a placement to raise up to C$1 million (~A$1.111 million) to continue aggressive exploration at the flagship Elizabeth-Blackdome Project in southern British Columbia, Canada.
Terms revised
Following the strong demand, the terms of the placement have been revised to the sale of up to 16,666,667 flow-through (FT) units at a price of C$0.06 (~A$0.067) per FT Unit and up to 6 million units at C$0.05 (~A$0.056) per unit.
Each unit will consist of one common share of the company and one common share purchase warrant.
Each FT unit will consist of one common share to be issued as a 'flow-through share' within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and one common share purchase warrant.
The warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share of the company at a price of C$0.09 (~A$0.10) for a period of 24 months following the issue date of the FT unit.
