Riley Gold Raises C$1.67 Million From Warrant Exercises as CEO Boosts Stake

Riley Resources Corp ( (TSE:RLYG) ) has shared an update.

Riley Gold Corp. has received approximately C$1.67 million in gross proceeds from the exercise of 6,677,401 share purchase warrants tied to an April 2024 private placement, representing 86% of the outstanding warrants that were set to expire on April 2, 2026. Management framed the strong take-up as a vote of confidence in the company and its flagship Pipeline West/Clipper Gold Project in Nevada, which is being advanced under an exploration earn-in agreement operated by Kinross Gold’s U.S. subsidiary.

As part of the warrant exercises, CEO Todd Hilditch increased his indirect ownership by 798,518 shares to 4,948,454 shares, or about 10.13% of Riley Gold’s outstanding common stock, triggering an early warning report filing under Canadian securities rules. The additional capital and higher insider stake bolster Riley Gold’s financial position and alignment with shareholders as it pursues exploration at its highly prospective Pipeline West/Clipper property, located adjacent to major producing complexes in the prolific Cortez Trend.
