Dakota Gold Corp. (NYSE American: DC) priced a public offering of 12,336,000 shares at $6.08 per share, generating gross proceeds of approximately $75 million. After underwriting discounts and estimated expenses, the company expects net proceeds of about $70.55 million. The offering includes an option for underwriters to purchase an additional 1,850,400 shares, which could raise gross proceeds to roughly $86.25 million if exercised. The transaction is slated to close on February 11, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.
The lead book‑running managers are BMO Capital Markets and Scotiabank, with Canaccord Genuity, CIBC Capital Markets, Agentis Capital Markets, H.C. Wainwright & Co., RBC Capital Markets and D. Boral Capital serving as co‑underwriters.
The capital raise will be used for working capital, general corporate purposes, and further development of the Richmond Hill project. The funds will support ongoing drilling, resource conversion, and the feasibility study for the project’s heap‑leach operation, positioning the company for production in 2029.
CFO Shawn Campbell highlighted the strategic importance of silver, noting that the Richmond Hill project hosts significant silver deposits and that silver’s designation as a Critical Mineral in the United States enhances the project’s value. President and COO Jack Henris emphasized the company’s recent high‑grade gold intercepts and expressed confidence that the additional capital will enable completion of a pre‑feasibility study and the delivery of a maiden resource in 2026, further de‑risking the flagship project.
Investors reacted to the announcement with concerns about dilution, a common response to equity raises. Earlier positive drill results had bolstered confidence in the project, and the offering signals a strong cash position that will support the company’s growth trajectory.
