en.Wedoany.com Reported - Canadian mineral exploration company Vortex Metals Inc. applied to the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV) on April 17, 2026, for a 30-day price protection extension to complete the previously announced second tranche of a non-brokered private placement. The offering price for this tranche is $0.05 per unit, and the company plans to complete it within the coming weeks.

Each unit in Vortex Metals' private placement consists of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at a price of $0.06 per share for a period of three years from the date of issuance. An acceleration clause applies to the warrant expiry: if, after 12 months from the date of issuance, the closing price of the company's common shares on any Canadian stock exchange is equal to or greater than $0.20 for 10 consecutive trading days, the issuer may accelerate the expiry date to 30 calendar days after notice is given. Any unexercised warrants will automatically expire at the end of the accelerated exercise period.

Vortex Metals intends to use the proceeds from the second tranche for exploration activities at its Illapel copper-silver project in Chile and for general working capital. Completion of the second tranche is subject to receiving further subscriptions and all necessary corporate and regulatory approvals, including that of the TSXV. All securities issued in connection with the second tranche will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance. According to the company's official profile, Vortex Metals is a copper-focused exploration and development company with a diversified portfolio of exploration projects in Chile and Mexico.
