E2Gold Inc. Announces Equity Financing to Support Drilling at Hawkins Gold Project

E2Gold Inc., a Toronto-based gold exploration company, disclosed plans to raise up to $1,000,000 through an equity private placement. The funding aims to advance drilling plans for its Hawkins gold project located in north Central Ontario. The project highlighted significant prospects, with surface occurrences confirming high-grade gold and base metals aligning with the McKinnon Zone Inferred Resource.

The company's CEO, Eric Owens, mentioned the anticipated drilling program designed to explore areas that have not been drilled before. These efforts follow after their 2023 field teams discovered promising extensions of high-grade mineralization. The planned private placement includes units at a price of C$0.025 and flow-through units at C$0.030, with the offering potentially seeing up to 50% insider participation, pending TSX Venture Exchange approval.

Additionally, E2Gold has secured a general security agreement in relation to an existing promissory note, enhancing its financial structure. The company also achieved an extension for annual cash payment due on its property option, further bolstering its operational flexibility.

The financing strategies and exploratory advancements underscore E2Gold’s commitment to boosting shareholder value and capitalizing on the Hawkins Gold Project's potential. This development comes as the mining sector eagerly watches for new promising exploration endeavors.
