ExGen Resources Updates on Empire Project Stake, Grants Options and Plans $200,000 Financing

The latest update is out from ExGen Resources ( (TSE:EXG) ).

ExGen Resources has updated investors on developments at Phoenix Copper Limited, operator of the Empire copper project in Idaho where ExGen holds a 20% carried interest and owns 1.33 million Phoenix shares. Phoenix has suspended its executive chairman and CFO but indicated that work on advancing the Empire project and strategic options is continuing, with discussions underway with potential industry partners, which could influence the value and timeline of ExGen’s interest in the asset.

The company has granted 4 million stock options at $0.14, largely to directors, officers, employees and consultants, with most vesting immediately and a portion for investor relations vesting over 12 months, underscoring efforts to align incentives. ExGen also plans a non-brokered private placement of up to $200,000 in flow-through units at $0.20 to fund work at its Telegraph porphyry copper-gold project in the Golden Triangle, reinforcing its pipeline of copper and gold exploration assets while modestly bolstering its capital position.
