In 2010, approximately 1,400 companies completed nearly 2,500 mining equity financings. With such a large number of private placements taking place annually, it is difficult to keep track of which companies have raised money, how much money each sector receives and which districts money is flowing into.
At the Yukon Geoscience Forum 2012, Oreninc’s MD, Benjamin Cox, discussed fundraising trends among NWT-focused junior mining companies.
Topics included but were not limited to:
- Which NWT companies raised money in 2011
- Range of offering sizes
- Number and types of offerings completed by companies operating in the NWT
- Which brokers were involved and know the NWT market
- Costs associated with raising money
- Comparison of deal flow across different sectors
- Cost of development in NWT versus other
- Canadian jurisdictions and consequences for companies doing development work in the NWT
