Copper Lake Resources (TSXV: CPL, OTC: WTCZF) announced a non-brokered private placement of secured, non-convertible debenture units for aggregate gross proceeds of up to C$1,000,000. Each unit is priced at C$1,000 and includes a C$1,000 secured debenture plus common share purchase warrants.
The number of warrants per purchaser equals the aggregate debenture principal divided by C$0.19, the TSXV market price; for example, C$100,000 of debentures would carry 526,315 warrants. Each warrant is non-transferable and exercisable at C$0.19 per share for 12 months.
The debentures bear 15% annual interest, mature in 12 months, rank pari passu with each other, and are secured by a general security interest over substantially all company assets, subject to law and approvals. Net proceeds are intended to fund exploration at the Marshall Lake project, bolster working capital, meet certain obligations, and support general corporate purposes.
The debentures, warrants and underlying shares will be subject to a four month and one day resale restriction. Closing is expected on or about the week of July 20, 2026, in one or more tranches, subject to TSXV approval and definitive documentation.
