Golden Minerals Seeks Up to C$5.0M in Highly Dilutive Private Placement
Summary
Golden Minerals is raising up to C$5.0M through a non-brokered private placement priced at C$0.28 per unit, each unit carrying a half-warrant exercisable at C$0.45 for 24 months. The deal could issue up to 27.86M shares — roughly 147% of the current share count — making it highly dilutive for a company with a market cap of only a few million dollars. The placement requires a TSX financial hardship exemption, which confirms severe liquidity stress and raises delisting review risk. Proceeds go to exploration, liabilities and working capital — survival funding, not growth capital. The C$0.28 unit price sits above the current $0.21 quote, so the terms are not a deep discount to the market, but the dilution and hardship exemption dominate the read.
