Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity
On January, 31, 2007, Strateco Resources Inc. (“Strateco”) has completed a private placement of 9,620,000 units (the “Units”) of Strateco at a price of Cdn$2.60 per Unit (the “Issue Price”) for gross proceeds of Cdn$25,012,000.
Each Unit is comprised of one common share (a “Unit Share”) of Strateco and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at a price of Cdn$3.50 until January 31, 2009. At any time after June 1, 2007, if the closing price of the common shares of Strateco is equal to or greater than Cdn$4.50 for 20 consecutive trading days, upon 30 days notice from Strateco, it may accelerate the expiry of the Warrants.
