VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, July 29, 2019 - Millrock Resources Inc. (TSX-V: MRO) ("Millrock" or “the Company") reports a portion of the non-brokered private placement announced on July 10, 2019 has closed.  A total of 13,357,331 units at a price of $0.075 per unit have been issued in Tranche 1 for gross proceeds of $1,001,799.83.  Each unit consists of one common share of Millrock and one share purchase warrant (the “Unit Warrants”).  Each Unit Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share at an escalating exercise price as follows:

  • Until December 14, 2019, the Unit Warrants will be exercisable at $0.14 per share;

  • Thereafter, until December 14, 2020, the Unit Warrants will be exercisable at $0.17 per share; and

  • Thereafter, until December 14, 2021, the Unit Warrants will be exercisable at $0.20 per share.

Millrock President & CEO Gregory Beischer commented: “We were pleased that multiple existing Millrock shareholders in Canada were able to take advantage of the Existing Shareholder Exemption. This exemption allows smaller, existing shareholders to take advantage of the potential earnings benefits that private placements can provide. Often participation in private placements is limited to institutional or wealthy investors. We intend to use a portion of the proceeds to advance exploration at our West Pogo gold project in Alaska. A specialized geophysical survey called CSAMT will be part of the work. The method has reportedly worked very well at discovering gold ore bodies on the adjacent Pogo Gold Mine property that is operated by Northern Star Resources Ltd. Additionally, Millrock intends to generate more high-quality gold projects in Alaska. We feel now is the time to act on the various targets that we’ve been waiting to acquire.”
