Outstanding Equity Financing Opportunities
In addition to the debt facility, Galleon Gold has agreed to issue and sell units in a non-brokered private placement, raising $10.25 million. The offering is set at a price of $0.60 per unit.

Strategic Use of Financing Proceeds
The net proceeds from both the debt facility and equity financing will play a crucial role in advancing the surface infrastructure and underground development related to the bulk sample program at the West Cache Gold Project.
