Barrick Mining will invest C$20.88 million (US$14.8 million) in Canadian explorer Kingfisher Metals through a non-brokered private placement, acquiring an initial 9.9% equity stake that could increase to 14.1% if all warrants are exercised. Barrick will subscribe for 15.47 million units at C$1.35 per unit, with each unit consisting of one common share and one-half warrant. At least 80% of the proceeds will be used to advance exploration and development at Kingfisher's HWY 37 copper-gold project in British Columbia's Golden Triangle, with the remaining funds allocated to working capital and general corporate purposes. Following the financing, Kingfisher expects to hold approximately C$47 million in cash to accelerate exploration at its Hank porphyry discovery and across its broader land package. Barrick said the investment is strategic and that it may adjust its ownership position depending on market conditions.
