Context & Capital Strategy
Canstar has maintained a capital strategy focused on efficiency and minimizing shareholder dilution. In January 2024, the Company announced new strategic capital alongside board and management changes. The Company completed a hybrid private placement to raise gross proceeds of approximately $850,000, issuing units priced at $0.03 per hard dollar unit, $0.035 per critical minerals exploration tax credit flow-through unit, and $0.0325 per charity flow-through unit. Each unit consisted of one common share and one warrant exercisable at $0.05 for a two-year term (see link for details).
In May 2025, Canstar received $500,000 as the initial payment under a letter of intent for an $11.5 million non-dilutive exploration joint venture with VMS Mining Corporation (link).
In September 2025, the Company reported it had received $1,092,500 in early warrant exercise proceeds, with 21.85 million of the 26.7 million warrants issued in the January 2024 financing exercised, while concurrently providing a detailed update on exploration activities related to the joint venture (link).
The gross proceeds from the issuance of the FT Shares will be used for Canadian exploration expenses on the Company's Newfoundland properties. The expenditures are expected to qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures", as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Income Tax Act (Canada), which will be incurred on or before December 31, 2026, and renounced to the subscribers with an effective date no later than December 31, 2025.
The gross proceeds from the NFT Units and any Warrants exercised will be used for general corporate purposes, including exploration at the Company's Buchans, Mary March and Golden Baie projects in Newfoundland, working capital and corporate development activities.
Additional Offering Details
The Offering is subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange and all other required regulatory approvals. All securities issued under the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the closing date in accordance with Canadian securities laws. Finder's fees may be payable in connection with the Offering.
