This was achieved by issuing 10,973,700 units at a price of C$0.28 each. Each unit consists of one common share and one warrant, which allows the holder to buy an additional share at C$0.40 for three years.

Financial Health and Future Plans#
Domestic Metals plans to use the funds raised for general working capital as well as for exploration, development, and drilling costs. The company's current financial situation shows a current ratio of 2.62, indicating it has more cash than debt. However, it has reported negative free cash flow of $1.41 million over the past year, suggesting it is spending more cash than it generates.
