Angus Gold Inc. (TSX-V: GUS)
(“
Angus” or the
“
Company”
) is pleased to announce
a non-brokered flow-through private placement to raise gross
proceeds of C$4,640,000 (the “
FT Offering”).
The FT Offering will consist of 5,800,000
special flow-through units of the Company (the “FT
Units”) at a price of C$0.80 per FT Unit. Each FT
Unit will consist of one common share of the Company that will
qualify as a “flow-through share” (within the meaning of subsection
66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) and one-half of one common
share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole common share
purchase warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will
entitle the holder thereof to acquire one common share of the
Company (a “Warrant Share”) at a price of $0.80
per Warrant Share for a period of 24-months from the Closing Date
(as defined herein).
In connection with the FT Offering, Wesdome Gold
Mines Ltd (TSX: WDO) (“Wesdome”) has agreed to
make a strategic investment in the Company (the “Strategic
Investment”). Assuming that the FT Offering is fully
subscribed, the Strategic Investment is expected to represent
approximately a 10.6% ownership interest in the Company's issued
and outstanding common shares on a non-diluted basis and 15.0%
assuming the exercise in full of the Warrants, immediately
following closing. In connection with the Strategic Investment, the
Company has granted Wesdome customary anti-dilution rights to
maintain its equity ownership interest pursuant to an investor
rights agreement to be entered into between Wesdome and Company at
closing.
“We are excited to welcome Wesdome as a
strategic investor in Angus Gold. Our ability to draw on their
knowledge and experience in the area will be invaluable as we
continue to advance our Golden Sky project. This investment not
only validate the exploration potential at Golden Sky, but also
provides the financial support to execute robust exploration
programs throughout 2024 and into 2025. This year, our focus is
targeting high-grade gold mineralization at our two new gold
discoveries, the BIF Zone and the Splay Zone, as well as at the
historic Dorset Gold Resource. We have planned our largest program
to date and are eager to begin our drilling operations at Dorset
and the Splay Zones this week,” said Breanne Beh, chief executive
officer of Angus.
The gross proceeds from the Offering will be
used by the Company to incur eligible “Canadian exploration
expenses” that will qualify as “flow-through mining expenditures”
as such terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the
“Qualifying Expenditures”) related to the
Company's mineral projects in Ontario, on or before December 31,
2025. All Qualifying Expenditures will be renounced in favour of
the subscribers of the FT Units with an effective date not later
than December 31, 2024.
The closing of the Offering is expected to occur
on or about February 8, 2024 (the “Closing Date”)
and is subject to certain conditions and the receipt of all
necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX
Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”). The securities to
be issued under the Offering will be subject to a hold period of
four months and one day from closing.
The securities have not been, and will not be,
registered under the Unites States Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or any U.S.
state security laws, and may not be offered or sold in the Unites
States without registration under the U.S. Securities Act and all
applicable state securities laws or compliance with requirements of
an applicable exemption therefrom. This press release shall not
constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy
securities in the Unites States, nor shall there be any sale of
these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
