[SMM Nickel Market Flash] Canada Nickel Upsizes Private Placement to C$21m to Fund Crawford Engineering

Canada Nickel (TSXV: CNC) said on August 12 it had upsized a non-brokered private placement from C$15m to gross proceeds of up to C$21m on strong investor demand, comprising up to 14m units at C$1.50, each with one share and half a warrant exercisable at C$2.25 for 36 months. Proceeds are earmarked for permitting and engineering work, repayment of outstanding debt and working capital, supporting detailed engineering and long-lead equipment orders for the Crawford nickel-cobalt sulphide project in Ontario's Timmins district. The raise follows the federal decision statement Crawford received under Canada's amended Impact Assessment Act. SMM said the sum is small against Crawford's roughly US$2bn capital need, and covers pre-build work rather than construction itself.
