What's the deal? Elton Resources CorpDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → (TSXV: DBAY) has closed a non-brokered private placement of flow-through units for gross proceeds of US$2.55M. The company issued 15,780,328 units at US$0.16 each.
Where's the money going? Proceeds are earmarked for qualifying critical-mineral exploration at Elton's Darnley Bay project in the Northwest Territories. The spending must be incurred by December 31, 2027 and renounced to investors for tax purposes.
