Each flow-through unit will consist of one flow-through common share of the Company (a “FT Share”) and one-half non-flow-through share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant (a “Warrant”) will entitle the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.20 for a period of 36 months following the closing date of the private placement (the “Closing Date”).

If, at any time after the Closing Date, the closing price of Granite Creek common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange is greater than $0.30 per share for a period of 10 consecutive trading days, the Company may elect to accelerate the expiry date of all or part of the Warrants, at any date that is four months and one day after the Closing Date, by giving notice thereof to the holders of the Warrants. In such case, that portion of the Warrants would be subject to an expiry date that is 30 business days after the date on which such notice is given by the Company.

Proceeds from the Private Placement are intended to be used toward eligible Canadian Exploration Expenses, within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada), on the Company’s Yukon exploration projects. 

Tim Johnson, President & CEO, stated, "We are pleased to complete this flow-through private placement to fund the ongoing exploration of our flagship Stu Copper-Gold Project in the high-grade Minto Copper District of Canada’s Yukon Territory. Specifically, the Company is building on work announced on July 15, 2019 with crews initiating multi-element soil surveys, geological mapping and an Induced Polarity (IP) survey.”   

The Private Placement is subject to final TSX-V approval and the FT Shares are subject to a hold period of four months and one day from their date of issuance, under applicable Canadian securities law.

The FT Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons, absent registration or any applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws.
