Gladiator Announces Upsize to Private
Placement
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 26, 2024) -
Gladiator Metals Corp.
(TSXV:
GLAD) (OTCQB: GDTRF) (FSE: ZX7) ("
Gladiator
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to announce that, as
a result of demand, it has increased the size of its previously announced non-brokered private placement
(see news release dated November 11, 2024).
Gladiator now intends to raise aggregate gross proceeds of up to C$12,625,000 (the "Offering") by
increasing the Charity Flow Through portion of the Offering and issuing up to 15,000,000 Charity Flow
Through Shares (the "Charity FT Shares") at a price of $0.775. There is no increase to the number of
Non-Flow Through common shares under the Offering.
Gladiator intends to use the proceeds of the Offering for general working capital purposes and to fund its
exploration program at its Whitehorse Copper Project in the Yukon including diamond drilling at:
"advanced prospects Cowley Park and Chief's Trend with the intention of establishing a maiden
initial inferred resource" and
"new high-grade copper targets along the Whitehorse Copper Belt defined from historical drilling
and aeromagnetic surveying."
CEO Jason Bontempo quoted "This strong display of financial commitment from experienced
institutional resource investors pays testament to the technical and social progress made by our very
experienced and hardworking exploration team with the valuable co-operation of our First Nations
Partners, the Kwanlin Dün First Nation and the Ta'an Kwäch'än Council in addition to our project partners
H Coyne & Son in Whitehorse, Yukon."
The Offering is expected to close on or about November 29, 2024, and is subject to certain closing
conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals including the conditional
approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Company may pay finders' fees under the Offering in accordance with applicable securities laws
and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. The securities issued under the Offering will be subject to
a hold period under applicable securities laws in Canada expiring four months and one day from the
closing date of the Offering.
The FT Shares will qualify as "flow-through shares" (within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the
Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act")). An amount equal to the gross proceeds from the issuance of
the FT Shares will be used to incur eligible resource exploration expenses which will qualify as (i)
"Canadian exploration expenses" (as defined in the Tax Act), and (ii) as "flow-through critical mineral
mining expenditures" (as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Tax Act) (collectively, the "Qualifying
Expenditures"). Qualifying Expenditures in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised
from the issue of the FT Shares will be incurred (or deemed to be incurred) by the Company on or before
December 31, 2025 and will be renounced by the Company to the initial purchasers of the FT Shares
with an effective date no later than December 31, 2024.
Members of the Company's management team may participate in the Offering including subscriptions
from related parties of the Company as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority
Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101").
The participation of management in the Offering
is exempt from formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements pursuant to exemptions
contained in sections 5.5(c) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101.
