Marksmen Energy Completes Successful Private Placement
Marksmen Energy Completes Successful Private Placement
Marksmen Energy Inc. (“Marksmen” or the “Company”) has successfully closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement of units (the “Units”). During this Offering, 19,325,000 Units were issued at a favorable price of $0.01 per Unit, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of $193,250. Each Unit comprises one common share (the “Common Share”) and one share purchase warrant (the “Warrant”). Holders of the Warrant can purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.05 per share within two years from the issuance date, subject to various conditions.
Use of Proceeds from Private Placement
Marksmen Energy has outlined its intention to utilize the gross proceeds from the Offering as follows: $50,000 (approximately 26% of the total proceeds) will be allocated to optimize production for all wells located in Pickaway County, Ohio. Another $60,000 (around 31%) is designated for a technical review and due diligence on potential oil and gas opportunities in Alberta. The remaining funds, amounting to $83,250 (approximately 43%), will be reserved for general working capital purposes.
Strategic Goals for Oil and Gas Opportunities
Currently, the technical review regarding oil and gas opportunities in Alberta is nearing completion, and the Company expresses optimism towards its developments. One particularly promising venture involves a collaboration with an established energy company in Alberta, where Marksmen is set to engage as a non-operator, working interest partner. This partnership involves reconceptualizing or recommencing production on existing wells, leveraging available pipeline infrastructure, and utilizing a gas processing facility, thereby eliminating the need for new drilling.
Regulatory Compliance and Related Party Transaction
The completion of this Offering is pending regulatory approval. Marksmen paid no cash commissions in connection with the Offering, and the securities issued are subject to a standard hold period of four months and one day starting from the date of issuance. Insider participation in the Offering represents a significant 75.81%, with a total of 14,650,000 Units acquired. As such, this aspect classifies as a “related party transaction” under Multilateral Instrument 61-101.
Understanding the Related Party Transactions

Moreover, the Offering qualifies for exemption from formal valuation and minority shareholder approval mandates as stipulated by MI 61-101, allowing for a streamlined approach that aligns with efficient business practices.
