Graphano Energy Ltd. (TSXV: GEL) has announced an amendment to its previously disclosed non-brokered private placement, restructuring the offering to include a flow-through share component alongside the original hard dollar units. The revised offering retains the same aggregate gross proceeds target of up to $900,000 first announced on October 5, 2026. The amendment introduces a tax-advantaged structure designed to fund Canadian exploration expenses at the company's Québec graphite project. Investors may be watching the offering closely given the critical minerals focus and the flow-through tax treatment available to eligible subscribers.

Restructured Offering Terms for Graphano's Québec Graphite Exploration

Under the amended offering, the hard dollar unit component comprises up to 8,640,000 units priced at $0.075 per unit, targeting gross proceeds of up to $648,000. Each unit consists of one common share and one warrant exercisable at $0.12 per share for three years from issuance. The flow-through share component adds up to 2,800,000 shares priced at $0.09 each, raising up to $252,000, with no warrants attached. Together, the two components preserve the originally announced $900,000 aggregate gross proceeds ceiling while introducing a structure that provides potential tax benefits to Canadian investors subscribing to the flow-through shares.

Flow-Through Critical Mineral Expenditure Commitments and Tax Treatment

Proceeds from the flow-through shares will be applied exclusively to eligible Canadian exploration expenses qualifying as flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures under the Income Tax Act (Canada), connected to Graphano's exploration activities in Québec. The company has committed to incurring those qualifying expenditures on or before December 31, 2027. The release states the company will renounce such expenditures to flow-through subscribers with an effective date no later than December 31, 2026, in an amount not less than the gross proceeds received from the flow-through share issuance.
