Red Cloud Securities

What Red Cloud Securities does

Red Cloud Financial Services Inc., operating as Red Cloud Securities, is a Toronto-headquartered, privately held investment bank and capital-markets services firm focused exclusively on the Canadian junior mining and metals sector. The firm originates and executes equity financings — including bought-deal private placements, brokered offerings, flow-through financings, and best-efforts deals — acting as lead underwriter, sole agent, or co-lead with syndicate partners such as ATB Capital Markets, Haywood Securities, and Cantor Fitzgerald. Typical underwriting economics per the disclosed source material are 5-6% cash commissions plus broker warrants, with mandates in 2026 spanning deal sizes from roughly C$1 million (F4 Uranium flow-through) to C$112.5 million (NexGold bought deal).

Beyond transactional underwriting, Red Cloud operates a recurring market-making service for TSX-V listed issuers at CAD $5,000 per month with a 60-day termination notice, and a media and marketing advisory service typically priced at C$60,000 per six-month engagement. The firm wraps these services around a proprietary content and events platform that includes the RCTV video interview series, the Research Roundup podcast, Red Cloud Magazine, and two annual flagship conferences — the Pre-PDAC Mining Showcase (February, Toronto) and the Fall Mining Showcase (October, Toronto) — which together hosted over 80 issuers in 2026 with continued scale-up plans. Red Cloud Media is a wholly owned digital-agency subsidiary serving the same mining client base.

The firm operates two offices (Toronto headquarters at 120 Adelaide Street W and a Vancouver office at 1140 W Pender Street) with a headcount in the 11-50 range, serves a North American issuer base with stated reach into Europe, and counts among recent clients a broad roster of junior explorers in uranium, gold, silver, copper, lithium, and nickel. Leadership comprises Bruce Tatters (CEO), Bob Sellars (SVP and CFO), and Sebastian de Kloet (Managing Director). The firm is independent, with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or external funding rounds, and its financial results are not publicly disclosed.
