Osisko Development Completes Successful Financing Round
Osisko Development Corp. is thrilled to announce a successful financing round that has closed at an impressive US$57.5 million. This marks a substantial milestone for the company as it finalizes its previously announced private placement of 31,946,366 units at a price of US$1.80 each. The investment firm Condire Investors, LLC played a crucial role in this offering, leading to an estimated 8.8% stake in the company's outstanding common shares right after the closure.
Implications of the Financing for Osisko
Sean Roosen, Chair and CEO of Osisko Development, shared his excitement regarding this milestone, commenting on the significantly oversubscribed nature of this offering. Alongside a recently concluded US$34.5 million non-brokered offering, the resources generated from this capital raise put the company in a strong position to move forward. Key initiatives, such as the Cariboo Gold Project, are set to benefit considerably from this influx of capital. Roosen emphasized that this is an endorsement not only of the project’s potential but also of the company’s team dedicated to its success.
