INDICATIVE OFFER TO ACQUIRE ASSETS IN BOTSWANA
PNR has recently submitted an Indicative Offer to acquire the assets, currently in liquidation, formerly operated by Bamangwato Concessions Limited (BCL) in Botswana. These assets include the former producing Selebi-Phikwe, Tati-Phoenix and Tati-Selkirk mines, as well as, regional exploration joint ventures on highly prospective multi-commodity projects.
ThreeD’s CEO, Sheldon Inwentash commented: “In keeping with our strategy of discovering and investing in junior resources from all over the world at very early stages, our investment in Premium Nickel Resources provides ThreeD shareholders with exposure to potentially valuable resources in Africa. After completing its due diligence and working with North American Nickel, we look forward to the result of this Indicative Offer submitted by PNR on what we consider to be substantial assets.”
NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID
The Company also announces today its intention to effect a normal course issuer bid through the facilities of the Canadian Securities Exchange.
Upon receiving regulatory approval, ThreeD may, during the 12 month period commencing July 15, 2020 and ending July 14, 2021, purchase on the Canadian Securities Exchange up to 1,594,444 common shares in total, representing approximately 5% of the common shares currently issued and outstanding. The price which ThreeD will pay for any such shares will be the market price at the time of acquisition. The actual number of common shares which may be purchased and the timing of any such purchases will be determined by ThreeD. ThreeD has retained Echelon Wealth Partners to effect purchases on its behalf pursuant to the bid. ThreeD is effecting the bid at this time as it believes that its common shares are undervalued at their current market prices and that the purchase of common shares would be a prudent use of funds.
