Silver Crown Royalties Inc. has closed a C$3 million private placement with investor Michael Gentile, who now holds an 18.52% stake in the company, with proceeds earmarked for expanding silver royalty acquisitions and strengthening working capital.

Silver Crown Royalties Inc. has completed a non-brokered private placement with strategic investor Michael Gentile, raising approximately C$3 million through the issuance of 424,500 units at C$7 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share and one warrant, with each warrant allowing the purchase of an additional common share at C$8.25 within three years. The company plans to allocate these funds primarily toward specific accretive silver royalties it has identified and is advancing, while also bolstering general working capital to support its growth initiatives.
This transaction represents a significant strategic investment, as Gentile now indirectly owns and controls 424,500 common shares, 424,500 warrants, and 50,000 stock options, representing approximately 18.52% of the issued and outstanding common shares on a partially diluted basis. Prior to this offering, Gentile held no direct or indirect ownership in Silver Crown Royalties, making this a new and substantial position in the company. The investment comes at a time when silver prices are showing favorable outlooks, positioning Silver Crown to expand its portfolio of royalty interests.
The regulatory implications of this investment are notable, as Gentile has filed an Early Warning Report in accordance with National Instrument 62-103 requirements. Copies of this report will be available on the company's profile on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval at https://www.sedarplus.ca. The common shares and warrants underlying the units will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus one day from the closing date, which helps maintain market stability following the private placement.
Silver Crown's business model focuses on generating free cash flow through silver royalties, offering investors exposure to precious metals while providing a natural hedge against currency devaluation. The company currently holds five silver royalties and aims to minimize economic burdens on mining projects while maximizing shareholder returns. This strategic investment from Gentile provides additional capital to pursue identified opportunities in the silver royalty space, potentially accelerating the company's growth trajectory in a sector that has gained attention as investors seek inflation-resistant assets.
The transaction was completed without any finder's fees or commissions, and the securities were not registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, meaning they cannot be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or applicable exemptions. This private placement represents a vote of confidence in Silver Crown's strategy from an experienced investor at a time when the company is positioning itself to capitalize on favorable market conditions for silver. The additional working capital will support both immediate royalty acquisition opportunities and the company's ongoing operations as it seeks to expand its portfolio of income-generating assets.
