Key Takeaways:
Galantas Gold Corporation announced plans for a brokered private placement to raise up to $85 million to advance its gold and copper assets in Chile.
“The updated Mineral Resource Estimate is an important milestone for Galantas and confirms Andacollo as a substantial brownfield gold project with scale, a long operating history, and meaningful exploration and development upside,” Mario Stifano, Chief Executive Officer of Galantas, said in a recent statement regarding the Andacollo project.
The company is offering up to 154,546,000 units at a price of $0.55 each, with Canaccord Genuity Corp. acting as lead agent. Each unit consists of one common share and one-half of a purchase warrant, with each whole warrant allowing the holder to buy another share for $0.80 within 24 months. The agent has an option to sell an additional 27,273,000 units, which could add $15 million in gross proceeds.
The financing is intended to fund exploration and development at the Indiana Gold and Copper Project and the recently acquired Andacollo Gold Project in Chile. The Andacollo project recently reported an updated mineral resource estimate of 1.47 million ounces of gold in the indicated category and 4.54 million ounces in the inferred category.
As a past-producing mine, the Andacollo Project includes historical pits, heap leach pads, and processing facilities. This existing infrastructure may reduce future capital requirements for a potential restart of operations. The project is located in the Coquimbo Region of Chile, adjacent to the town of Andacollo.
Net proceeds from the offering will be used for the Chilean projects and for general corporate and working capital purposes. The offering is expected to close on or about May 28, 2026, subject to regulatory approvals.
This capital raise provides Galantas with the necessary funding to advance its key Chilean assets, which form the basis of its growth strategy. Investors will be watching for the successful closing of the financing, followed by the special shareholder meeting on June 15, 2026, to formally approve the Andacollo acquisition.
