TORONTO, June 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stratabound Minerals Corp. (TSXV:SB) (“Stratabound” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce it is continuing to progress the exploration program at its Golden Culvert project in the Lower Hyland Valley of the Yukon Territory. As presented at the Company’s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on June 18, 2018 road construction has been completed, and the initial trenching has been undertaken. Although no analytical results are available at this time, preliminary field observations by R. Kim Tyler, P.Geo., President and CEO of Stratabound and Golden Culvert site manager, indicate a corridor of multiple quartz veining of greater width and much longer strike length than previously observed.
Also at the Annual General Meeting, all of the directors of the Company were reelected with more than 99.9% of the votes cast. The Company’s directors include R. Kim Tyler, President and CEO; Terrence Byberg, Executive Vice President; Margaret Kent, Chairman; Michael Page, VP Exploration; and R.M. (Mike) Robb.
The Company is pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement (the “Private Placement”) offering of $495,125. The Private Placement will include both units (the “Units”) of the Company, and common shares offered on a flow-through basis (the “Flow-Through Shares”). Each Unit consists of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will be exercisable for one common share at $0.08 for 24 months from the date of issue. Both the Units and the Flow-Through Shares have been priced at $0.055. The Company has received commitments of $15,125 for Units and $480,000 for Flow-Through Shares.
The proceeds of the Private Placement will be used to fund the summer 2018 exploration program at the Golden Culvert property and for other payments directly related to the property. All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement are subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities legislation. A director and officer of the Company has subscribed for Units under the Private Placement. Completion of the Offering remains subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange. Fees of 7.5% cash and 7.5% finder warrants will be paid to persons who have introduced investors who subscribe to the Private Placement. Any finder warrants issued will be exercisable for one common share at $0.055 for 18 months from the date of issue.
The Company is also pleased to announce that it has entered into a consulting agreement with GloRes Capital Inc. (“GloRes”) to provide investor relations and related services to the Company. The agreement with GloRes is for a six-month term with compensation of $5,000 per month. GloRes has also been issued 200,000 stock options.
The Company has granted a total of 1,066,000 options at $0.055 under the Company’s stock option plan which was re-approved at the Annual General Meeting, including the options to GloRes and 666,666 options to an officer and director who currently holds no options and the balance to an advisor who also holds no options.
“We are excited about the initial developments of the exploration program at Golden Culvert, and we are awaiting the lab results on the initial samples. The private placement will enable us to extend our 2018 exploration program, especially with respect to trenching and drilling. I am pleased to introduce Ritu Gupte, President of GloRes Capital, as a consultant to the Company, to provide Stratabound a more consistent presence with investors in Toronto, New York and other financial centers and to more effectively distribute information on the Golden Culvert project to our shareholders and the public,” said Kim Tyler, President and CEO of Stratabound.
