Hi-View Announces Closing of the Final Tranche of the Non-Brokered Private Placement

Hi‑View Resources closed the second and final tranche of a non‑brokered private placement consisting of 3,875,000 units at C$0.20 each for gross proceeds of C$775,000 (oversubscribed by C$100,600); each unit comprises one common share and one transferable warrant (two warrants exercisable for one share at C$0.30 for 24 months). Proceeds are earmarked for general corporate purposes including arm’s‑length payables, the company issued 730,808 shares at C$0.20 to settle C$146,161.60 of related‑party debt, and finders’ fees of C$44,240 plus 221,200 broker warrants (two broker warrants exercisable for one share at C$0.30 for 24 months) were paid. The financing provides near‑term liquidity for Hi‑View’s gold, silver and copper exploration portfolio in the Toodoggone region but creates potential near‑term dilution from the sizeable warrant overhang and incurs cash and equity costs to intermediaries and insiders.

Analysis

Hi-View Resources closed the second and final tranche of a non‑brokered private placement of 3,875,000 units at $0.20 per unit for gross proceeds of $775,000, with the placement oversubscribed by $100,600. Each unit comprised one common share and one transferable warrant; two warrants entitle holders to purchase one common share at $0.30 for 24 months. The company paid finders' fees of $44,240 and issued 221,200 broker warrants (two broker warrants per share exercisable at $0.30), and issued 730,808 common shares at $0.20 to settle $146,161.60 of related‑party debt; all securities are subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus one day.

The financing provides modest near‑term liquidity for general corporate purposes and arm's‑length payables but materially increases potential dilution: 3,875,000 unit warrants could convert into up to 1,937,500 shares and the 221,200 broker warrants into 110,600 shares, for roughly 2.05 million potential new shares over 24 months. The use of shares to settle related‑party debt suggests a preference to conserve cash and highlights limited immediate cash runway relative to exploration needs.

Sentiment signals indicate a mildly positive tone with limited market impact, reflecting that the financing preserves activity on Hi‑View’s 27,791 hectare Toodoggone portfolio (Golden Stranger, Lawyers, Borealis and other targets) but leaves the company exposed to share‑price pressure if warrants are exercised or further financings are required.

Key Decisions for Investors

• Monitor the warrant overhang closely — approximately 1,937,500 shares could result from unit warrants and ~110,600 from broker warrants (total ~2.05M potential shares) over the next 24 months and treat positions cautiously until conversion activity is visible
• Reassess cash runway and likelihood of follow‑on financings given only $775,000 raised and a partial debt settlement in stock (730,808 shares); avoid adding size absent clear capital plan or imminent positive exploration catalysts
• Speculative investors may consider a small, hedged exposure to the Toodoggone assets but use protective sizing or stop‑losses because near‑term dilution and limited liquidity increase downside risk
