Zodiac Gold closes upsized US$4.11M private placement to fund Todi drilling
What's the deal? Zodiac GoldDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → has closed an upsized, oversubscribed private placement for gross proceeds of US$4.11M.
The West African gold explorer sold 16,000,000 units at US$0.26 each. Each unit pairs one common share with half a warrant.
Proceeds will fund an expanded drill program at its Todi Gold Project, broader exploration, and working capital.
Why now? Strong investor demand pushed the round past target, giving Zodiac roughly US$6.6M in treasury.
Gold prices have surged in 2026, and the cash lets the company chase what chief executive officer David KolDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → calls a "fully funded" drilling push.
"We believe Todi has the potential to host a significant gold system," Kol said.
What could go wrong? The deal still needs final approval from the TSX Venture Exchange.
All securities carry a four-month hold period. Exploration is high-risk: drilling may not confirm a deposit worth mining.
Warrants priced at US$0.4 only pay off if shares climb well above today's levels.
The signal: Zodiac's "fully funded" raise underscores how rising gold prices are pulling capital toward early-stage explorers willing to drill in frontier jurisdictions — in this case Liberia, where the Todi project sits within a relatively underexplored stretch of West Africa's gold belt. With roughly US$6.6M in treasury and a warrant structure that could accelerate above US$0.48, the company has bought itself an aggressive exploration window without yet proving a deposit worth mining.
