episode in the occasional series that tries to translate the English used in mining company news releases into English used by normal human beings. Today we feature Americas Gold & Silver (USAS) (USA.to)
This is what they said:
TORONTO, Sept. 4, 2020 /CNW/ — Americas Gold and Silver Corporation (the “Company”) (TSX: USA;
NYSE American: USAS) is pleased to announce that it has closed its
previously announced and upsized bought deal financing with a syndicate
of underwriters co-led by Desjardins Capital Markets and Cormark
Securities Inc., and including Stifel GMP, Clarus Securities Inc., and
Laurentian Bank Securities Inc., (collectively the “Underwriters”). A
total of 10,204,510 common shares of the Company (the “Common Shares”),

The net proceeds from the sale of the Common Shares will be used for

existing mine properties, including those relating to bringing Relief
Canyon into commercial production and for working capital and general
corporate purposes, as detailed in the Prospectus (as defined below).

It will also replace the cash we would have received if our Mexico mine were not on long-term strike because we treated our workforce like slaves for years and now under AMLO they are taking revenge.
