The Offering
The Offering will consist of the issuance of up to 75 million units (7,500,000 on a post-Consolidation basis) of the Company (the "Units") at a purchase price of $0.04/Unit ($0.40/Unit on a post-Consolidation basis), for gross proceeds of up to $3.0 million. Each Unit will be comprised of one (1) common share in the capital of the Company (a "Common Share") and one-half of one (1/2) Common Share purchase warrant (each whole Common Share purchase warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder to acquire an additional Common Share at a purchase price of $0.08/share ($0.80/share on a post-Consolidation basis) for a period of three (3) years from the date of issuance.
The Company has secured a lead order for 30,000,000 Units (3,000,000 Units on post-Consolidation basis) reflecting proceeds of C$1.2 million from an entity controlled by Mr. Rob McEwen, an existing shareholder of the Company. Mr. McEwen is the Chairman and Chief Owner of McEwen Mining Inc., and is the founder and former Chairman and CEO of Goldcorp Inc.
The Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"). It is expected that the proceeds from the sale of Units will be used for exploration and development of the Company's Newmont Lake Project located in Northwest British Columbia and for general working capital purposes.
Finders' fees or brokers' commissions may be payable on a portion of the Offering in accordance with TSXV policies. The Offering is subject to certain conditions, including the approval of the listing and trading of the Common Shares on the TSXV.
All securities issued will be subject to a four-month holding period from the date of issuance and subject to TSXV approval. The Company intends to close the Offering following the completion of the Consolidation.
The securities to be offered pursuant to the Offering have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, United States persons absent registration or any applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in the United States, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
Share Consolidation
The Company currently has 240,994,943 Common Shares issued and outstanding and following the completion of the Consolidation will have approximately 24,099,494 Common Shares issued and outstanding, without taking into account the Offering. The number of post-Consolidated Common Shares to be received will be rounded up to the nearest whole number for fractions of 0.5 or greater or rounded down to the nearest whole number for fractions of less than 0.5.
Pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and the Articles of the Company, the Consolidation was approved by way of resolution passed by the board of directors of the Company.
The Company will apply to the TSXV for approval of the Consolidation.
