GT Gold Announces Fully Subscribed C$5.7 Million Private Placement
02 Noviembre 2020 - 9:40PM
GT Gold Corp. (TSX-V:GTT ;
OTCQX:GTGDF)
(the
“Company”
or
“GT Gold”) today announced a fully subscribed
non-brokered private placement financing (the
“
Financing”) for total gross proceeds of C$5.7
million. Proceeds of the Financing will be used to fund general
working capital and to advance 2021 exploration activities on the
Company’s 100% owned Tatogga property in northern British Columbia.
“This financing will serve to bolster the
balance sheet as the Company works to both advance the Saddle North
project towards a Preliminary Economic Assessment in early 2021,
and to continue our exploration activities across the highly
prospective Tatogga property,” said Paul Harbidge, President and
Chief Executive Officer. “We look forward to continuing to
demonstrate the value of our company through our field and
metallurgical work in the months ahead.”
The Financing involves the sale of 3.6 million
common shares. A total of 2.5 million shares will qualify as
flow-through shares (“FT Shares”), each priced at
C$1.75 per share for gross proceeds of up to C$4.4 million, and 1.1
million shares will be Common shares, priced at C$1.25 per share
for gross proceeds of C$1.4 million. The Company has entered into
an agreement with Peartree Securities Inc. for the purchase and
sale of the FT Shares on a charity flow-through basis.
Participants in the Financing include existing
arm’s-length GT Gold shareholders, Newmont Corporation
(“Newmont”), and members of the Company’s
management and board. The terms of the Financing were developed in
discussions with arm’s-length shareholders. The arm’s-length
shareholders and Newmont, which has an anti-dilution right (among
other rights) dating back to May 2019 pursuant to an investor
rights agreement with the Company, will acquire in the aggregate
approximately 70% of the common shares to be issued in the
Financing. Prior to the Financing, GT Gold had approximately 126.4
million common shares outstanding.
On completion of the Financing, members of
management and Board will own a combined 12.08% of GT Gold’s
outstanding common shares, up from 11.54% prior to the placement.
Newmont will again attain its 14.9% strategic shareholder
position.
The proceeds received by the Company from the
sale of the FT Shares will be used to incur eligible Canadian
exploration expenses (“CEE”) that qualify as
“flow-through mining expenditures” (as such terms are defined in
the Tax Act) related to the Company’s projects located in British
Columbia (the “Qualifying Expenditures”). The
Qualifying Expenditures will be renounced in favour of the FT Share
purchasers with an effective date of no later than December 31,
2021, in the aggregate amount of not less than the total amount of
the gross proceeds raised from the issuance of the FT Shares.
The Financing is expected to close in multiple
tranches, with the final tranche of FT Shares expected to close on
or about November 30, 2020 and is subject to certain conditions,
including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary
regulatory and other approvals, including the approval of the TSX
Venture Exchange. Pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws,
all securities issued in the Financing will be subject to a hold
period expiring four months and one day from the closing of the
Financing.
