MGX issued 5.4mln flow-through units at $1.15 per unit, representing gross proceeds of $6.25mln, and 8.4mln non-flow-through units at $1.10 per unit, representing gross proceeds of C$9.2mln. The offering was oversubscribed by 1.09mln flow-through units and 2.02mln non-flow-through units.

Each non-flow-through unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant, which will entitle the holder to acquire one additional common share for a period of 36 months from the date of closing at a price of C$1.20.

Each flow-through unit consists of one common share issued on a flow-through basis pursuant to Canada's Income Tax Act and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each flow-through warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one additional common share, on a non-flow-through basis, for a period of 36 months at a price of C$1.20.

The company said the securities issued under the offering are subject to a hold period of four months and one day, adding that the flow-through unit proceeds will be used for qualified mineral exploration expenses on the company's projects in Canada.

The company recently revealed that a demonstration of its lithium and petrolithium extraction and water treatment system (NFLi-5) has been successful. The equipment was showcased at MGX partner PurLucid’s labs in Calgary, Alberta.

Shares of MGX closed at C$1.04 on Monday.
