Vancouver, August 4, 2021 -
Valterra Resource Corp. (TSXV: VQA) (OTCQB: VRSCF) (FSE: 3VA2) ("Valterra" or the "Company") has closed the first tranche of its previously reported private placement (06/07/21) by issuing 8,270,000 units at a price of $0.05 per unit for gross proceeds of $413,500. Each unit consists of one common share and one-half share purchase warrant, with each full warrant exercisable for three years with the right to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. Securities issued pursuant to this first tranche of the private placement, including common shares and share purchase warrants, carry a legend restricting trading of the securities until December 4, 2021. Finders' fees and commissions may be paid by Valterra in relation to this issuance.
A portion of net proceeds from the private placement will be used to pay the 2021 option payment on the Las Reyes property and to fund costs associated with an exploration program on the Los Reyes Au-Cu project, Mexico. The Company completed surface mapping and sampling, followed by a limited IP geophysical program at the property. Surface samples of the oxidized copper mineralization are extremely encouraging, with 22 of 28 samples collected averaging 3.08% Cu. Permits are in place for a four to six core hole program totaling up to 2,000m. Drilling will test a 400-metre strike length of exposed Cu-Au skarn. Management believes that the project has significant near-term exploration potential for a high-grade Cu-Au mineral resource. Net proceeds will also be used for general working capital which includes: G&A, property maintenance and property option payments. The private placement is subject to regulatory approval.
