魁北克省萨格奈–2024年1月19日 – First Phosphate Corp. (CSE: PHOS) (OTC: FRSPF) (FSE: KD0) (“First Phosphate”或“本公司”)欣然宣布，本公司已完成第三批也是最后一批总收入至少为$200万的非经纪人私募配售融资（“发行”），详情见本公司于2023年12月14日和2023年12月22日以及2024年1月2日发布的新闻稿。第三批私募配售中，本公司共发行了 1,768,250 个硬美元单位，募集资金总额为$707,300。至此，本公司三批私募配售募集资金总额达到$8,223,475.20。
本公司首席执行官John Passalacqua表示，“我们很高兴看到包括一些机构投资者在内的现有股东和新股东再次对First Phosphate投下了信任票。现在，我们已经准备好在今年冬天进行钻探，并开始全面揭露Bégin-Lamarche高纯度火成岩磷酸盐地层，距离萨格奈深海港仅70公里。根据我们的经验，任何磷酸盐项目的经济可行性，最大的决定因素是靠近港口、拥有基础设施和劳动力。Bégin-Lamarche具备所有这些强有力的条件，因此很可能成为魁北克省首批投产的磷酸盐矿之一，因为我们现在有能力加快开发进度。”
