Here is the latest news out of Osisko Metals. The $10 million Flow-Through is being done at a nice premium to market (FT @ $0.92 vs market price at the open of $0.60). These funds will give the Company plenty of capital to continue its exploration of the Bathurst Mining Camp (located in Northern New Brunswick) and the Pine Point Camp (located in the Northwest Territories).
Please email me with any questions you have for the management of the Company. I will be chatting with them next week. I can be reached at Fleck@kereport.com.
