Errington Metals (TSX-V:EM) has closed a C$34.5 million ($35.1 million) private placement to fund exploration at its Sudbury Basin Project in Ontario, Canada.
The company issued 1.93 million flow-through shares at C$5.19 each, raising C$10 million, and 7.004 million common shares at C$3.50 each for C$24.5 million.
Net proceeds from the common shares will support continued exploration at Sudbury and provide general working capital.
Errington says it plans to use the flow-through proceeds for eligible Canadian and Ontario critical minerals exploration expenditure. The company must incur the expenditure by 31 December 2027 and renounce it to the initial purchasers with an effective date no later than 31 December 2026.
Stifel Nicolaus Canada acted as co-lead agent and sole bookrunner, alongside Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce’s (TSX:CM) CIBC World Markets and BMO Financial Group (TSX:BMO). The syndicate also included Red Cloud Securities, ATB Capital Markets, and Beacon Securities.
Company insiders acquired 18,585 common shares under the placement for a combined C$65,047.50. The participation constitutes a related-party transaction but is exempt from formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements.
Securities issued under the placement are subject to a four-month-and-one-day hold period. The transaction also remains subject to final acceptance from the TSX Venture Exchange.
Errington is undertaking a 45,000m drilling program at the wholly owned Sudbury Basin Project, which hosts volcanogenic massive sulphide-style mineralisation.
The 2026 campaign is designed to support an initial mineral resource estimate and test regional targets across the project.
