Dryden Gold to Raise $7.5 Million in a Private Placement of Flow-Through and Charity Flow-Through Shares

-- Dryden Gold (DRY.V) on Tuesday said it will seek to raise $7.5 million from non-brokered private placement.

The company said it will place up to a maximum of 17.95-million shares comprised of both flow-through shares (FT shares) and charity flow-through shares (CFT shares). The FT shares will be offered at $0.41 per share and the CFT shares will be offered at $0.4521 per CFT shares.

Proceeds will be used to expand its drill program at its Hyndman project following permitting and summer fieldwork results. Dryden will also significantly expand its drill program at Gold Rock testing at depth and along strike.

The company said the "district scale opportunity" will be further tested with an expanded summer field campaign to support targeted drill testing of priority anomalies. Additional field work will include detailed geological mapping, prospecting, tighter-spaced till substrate sampling and a gold-in-till program on newly acquired property at Hyndman.

The financing may close in one or more tranches. An amount equal to the gross proceeds from the issuance of the FT shares and the CFT shares will be used to incur eligible resource exploration expenses which will qualify as "Canadian exploration expenses" and as "flow-through mining expenditures".

Shares of the company were last seen up $0.005 to $0.35 on the TSX Venture Exchange.

Research Alert: Aapl: Tim Cook Steps Down Earlier Than Thought; Well Planned And Minimizes Risk

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:AAPL announces CEO Tim Cook will step down September 1 after 15 years, with John Ternus (SVP Hardware Engineering) succeeding him, while Cook becomes Executive Chairman. Johny Srouji was promoted to Chief Hardware Officer, expanding his role beyond silicon to oversee all hardware engineering and technologies. We view this well-orchestrated succession as neutral to modestly positive despite being sooner than expected, addressing prior leadership continuity concerns while strategically pivoting from operational excellence to product-centric engineering leadership appropriate for AAPL's push into AI and foldables, among other categories. The four-month transition period with Cook's continued involvement as Executive Chairman mitigates execution risks (with Cook focusing on policy). Ternus brings 25 years of Apple experience, leading the Mac's Apple silicon transition and iPhone evolution. Srouji's elevation ensures continuity in Apple's silicon strategy, which has driven gross margins to the high-40% levels.
