VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 20, 2017 / Prophecy Development Corp. (“Prophecy” or the “Company”) (TSX: PCY, OTC PINK: PRPCF, FRA: 1P2N) announces that it has closed the first tranche of the $5,757,360 non-brokered private placement (the “Placement”) announced on August 25, 2017 and increased on September 1, 2017.
