Galleon Gold Announces Closing of First
Tranche of Private Placement
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - December 14, 2022) -
Galleon Gold Corp.
(TSXV: GGO) (the
"
Company
") is pleased to announce that it has closed a first tranche of a non-brokered private
placement for aggregate gross proceeds of C$1,828,861 through the issuance of a combination of units
(the "
Units
") at a price of C$0.24 per Unit and flow-through units (the "
FT Units
") at a price of C$0.26
per FT Unit (the "
Offering
"). This first tranche consisted of the sale of (i) 583,334 Units and (ii)
6,495,620 FT Units.
Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company and one-half of one common
share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "
Warrant
"). Each FT Unit consists of one common share
of the Company and one-half of one Warrant, each issued as a "flow-through share" within the meaning
of the
Income Tax Act
(Canada) (the "
Act
"
). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire an additional
common share at a price of C$0.45 for a period of 24 months expiring on December 14, 2024.
BlackBridge Capital Management Corp. and Red Cloud Securities Inc. are acting as finders in
connection with the Offering and received an aggregate cash commission of C$90,952 and 350,199
non-transferable compensation warrants (each a "
Finder Warrant
"). Each Finder Warrant entitles the
holder to acquire one common share at an exercise price of C$0.24 for a period of two years expiring on
December 14, 2024.
The Company intends to use the proceeds raised from the Offering for the exploration and advancement
of the Company's West Cache Gold Project in Timmins, Ontario as well as for general working capital
purposes. Proceeds from the sale of the FT Units will be used to incur "Canadian exploration expenses"
as defined in subsection 66.1(6) of the Act and "flow-through mining expenditures" as defined in
subsection 127 (9) of the Act. Such proceeds will be renounced to the subscribers with an effective date
not later than December 31, 2022, in the aggregate amount of not less than the total amount of gross
proceeds raised from the issuance of FT Units.
The Company may complete one or more additional tranches of the Offering up to a maximum
aggregate amount of C$3 million. The securities comprising the Units and FT Units and any Finders
Warrants issued with respect to the Offering, will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day
in accordance with applicable securities laws. The Offering is subject to the final acceptance of the TSX
Venture Exchange.
Certain directors and officers of the Company subscribed for an aggregate of 500,000 Units and 50,000
FT Units under the Offering on the same terms as arm's length investors.
The participation of the
directors and officers in the Offering constitutes a "related party transaction" for the purposes of
Multilateral Instrument 61-101 -
Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions
("
MI 61-
101
"). The Company is exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal evaluation or minority
shareholder approval in connection with the insider participation in reliance on sections 5.5 (a) and 5.7
(1) (a) of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the securities issued, nor the fair market value of
the consideration for the securities issued exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization as
calculated in accordance with MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report containing
all the disclosure required by MI 61-101 more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Offering
as the aforementioned insider participation had not been confirmed at that time and the Company
wished to close the Offering as expeditiously as possible.
This news release does not constitute an offer of securities for sale in the United States. The securities
being offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States
Securities Act of 1933
,
as amended, and such securities may not be offered or sold within the United States absent U.S.
registration or an applicable exemption from U.S. registration requirements.
Warrant Extension Cancellation Notice
The Company also announces that the proposed extension term of share purchase warrants previously
announced on November 25, 2022 has been cancelled and 3,194,317 common share purchase
warrants expired as originally contemplated on December 12, 2022.
