DESERT GOLD ANNOUNCES NON-BROKERED PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Delta, British Columbia, April 14 , 2020. Desert Gold Ventures Inc. (“Desert Gold” or “the
Company”) (TSX.V: DAU, FF: QXR2, OTC: DAUGF) announces that, subject to exchange approval, it
will conduct a non-brokered private placement of up to 6,250,000 units at a price of CAD $0.08 per unit
(the “Unit”) to raise up to CAD $500,000 (the “Financing”). Each Unit will consist of one common share
in the equity of the Company and one half common share purchase warrant (the “Warrant”). Each full
Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company a t a price of CAD
$0.15 per common share for a period of three (3) years from the closing of the Financing.
Desert Gold’s CEO Jared Scharf commented, “With the gold market continuing to strengthen, we feel it is
time to re-initiate our funding efforts. We chose to competitively price this raise and give priority to those
that have supported and followed our evolving story before and during the recent market turmoil . A
portion of t hese funds will be earmarked for auger drilling and c ontinued mapping. Both activities will
likely further highlight the potential for the discovery of a material gold deposit at our Senegal Mali Shear
Zone Project. The auger drilling, specifically, will test below those laterite covered areas proximal to the
east side of the Senegal Mali Shear Zone, where regionally, the largest gold deposits have been
discovered to date, including Fekola, Gounkoto and Loulo to the south along strike and Sadiola to the
north along strike. In addition to the aforementioned activities and subject to funding availability,
diamond, air-core and RC drilling is also planned at the known zones Gourbassi East and West, Barani
East and Soa where targets have already been defined.”
The proceeds of the Financing will be used primarily for drilling at the Company’s flagship Senegal Mali
Shear Zone Project (the “SMSZ Project”) in Western Mali (see Figure 1. below) and for general working
capital purposes. The Company may pay a finder’s fee to qualified individuals in respect to the Financing.
Securities issued as a result of the Financing will be subject to a statutory hold period.
