TomaGold Announces Closing of First Tranche of Private Placement
Featuring Strategic Investment from SIDEX and NQIM
Montreal, Québec, April 30, 2026 ‒ TOMAGOLD CORPORATION (TSXV: LOT; OTCPK: TOGOF)
(“TomaGold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the closing of the first tranche (the “First
Tranche”) of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the “Private Placement”) for
total proceeds of $853,969.98. The First Tranche was completed through the issuance of 10,483,333 hard
cash units (the “HC Units”) at a price of $0.06 per HC Unit, and of 2,999,600 flow-through units of the
Company (“FT Units”) at a price of $0.075 per FT Unit. Each HC Unit consists of one common share in the
capital of the Company and one-half of one share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”),
with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one additional common share at a price of
$0.10 for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance. Each FT Unit consists of one common share in
the capital of the Company that will qualify as a “flow-through share” for the purposes of the Income Tax
Act (Canada) (each, a “FT Share”) and one-half of one Warrant.
David Grondin, President and CEO of TomaGold, stated: “We are pleased to welcome SIDEX and NQIM as
strategic investors in TomaGold. Their support underscores the strong exploration potential of our
Berrigan Mine project, currently in Phase 2 of drilling. This first tranche of our ongoing private placement
strengthens our financial position as we continue to advance our Chibougamau projects, located within
one of Québec’s most prolific mining camps.”
In connection with the closing of the First Tranche, the Company paid aggregate cash finder’s fees of
$3,673.35 and issued 68,976 compensation warrants to eligible finders (the “Compensation Warrants”).
Each Compensation Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one common share of the Company
at a price of $0.10 for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance.
The Company intends to use the gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Units to incur exploration expenses
that are eligible “Canadian exploration expenses” that qualify as “flow-through critical mineral mining
expenditures”, as such terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada). The net proceeds from the sale
of the HC Units will be used by the Company for general and corporate working capital purposes.
The securities issued under the Private Placement, including the common shares underlying the Warrants
and the Compensation Warrants, are subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date
of issuance. The Private Placement remains subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the
“TSXV”).
This news release does not constitute an o5er to sell or a solicitation of an o5er to buy any of the securities
in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) or any state securities laws and may not
