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.
