“I would like to thank our current shareholders and several new ones who participated in this financing for their continued support of Targa“, commented Targa CEO, Cameron Tymstra. “I would like to welcome two well respected Quebec-based funds, SIDEX and NQI, as new shareholders of Targa.

All Warrants that remain unexercised following the Accelerated Expiry Date shall immediately expire and all the rights of holders of such Warrants shall be terminated without any compensation to such holder.
The net proceeds of the second tranche of the Offering will be used for exploration of the Company’s Opinaca gold-lithium project and for working capital purposes.
