Discovery Metals Corp. (TSX-V: DSV, OTCQX: DSVMF) (“Discovery” or the “Company” - https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/discovery-metals-Corp/) announces that an aggregate of 31,140,000 common share purchase warrants with an exercise price of C$1.00 were exercised prior to their expiry on February 17, 2021. The exercises resulted in gross proceeds of approximately C$31 million. The Company’s current cash balance has increased to approximately C$98 million.
Taj Singh, President and CEO comments: “The exercise and expiry of these warrants is a significant positive event as it bolsters our cash position and eliminates the selling pressure typically experienced with warrant expiration. In the last six weeks 18 million warrants were exercised. With a cash balance of nearly $100M Discovery is in a solid position to rapidly advance the Cordero project, one of the largest undeveloped silver assets in the world, at a time when silver demand is very strong and sizeable development assets are in short supply.”
About Discovery

The project is supported by an industry leading balance sheet with no debt and over $90 million of cash allocated for aggressive exploration, resource expansion and future development.
