Highlights:
In connection with the Offering,
Collin Kettell
, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, intends to subscribe for 22,000,000 shares, financing a significant
portion of his subscription with an arranged sale of 20,000,000 shares from his personal holdings through the facilities of the TSX-V with a prominent U.S.
based gold and precious metals fund (the "Gold Fund"). Such planned sale is expected to occur on or about
April 7, 2025
.
Following the arranged sale, the Gold Fund is expected to own approximately 5% of the Company, adding to a growing institutional shareholder register that
will constitute approximately 10% of the Company.
The remainder of the Offering is fully allocated to insiders and existing shareholders of the Company.
Nevada
King's management & insider ownership at
nearly 40%, is industry leading and indicative of the strong alignment with shareholders, and conviction in the Atlanta Gold Mine Project.
Collin Kettell
, CEO of
Nevada
King stated: "We are thrilled to welcome this large U.S. based precious metals fund to the
Nevada
King ownership group. The fund
is regarded as an industry thought leader and one of the most respected institutional precious metal investors. Their participation, along with insiders increasing
their ownership in the company, demonstrates a strong endorsement for the Atlanta Gold Mine Project and confidence in
Nevada
King".
The net proceeds of the Offering are intended to be used to advance
Nevada
King's Atlanta Gold Mine Project and for other general working capital purposes. No
finder's fees are being paid on the Offering.
The Common Shares to be issued under the Non-Brokered Private Placement are expected to be offered by way of applicable prospectus exemptions in
accordance with NI 45-106 to "accredited investors". The Common Shares issued pursuant to the Non-Brokered Private Placement will be subject to the statutory
hold period of four months from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. The securities offered have not been registered
under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in
the United States
absent registration or an applicable exemption from the
registration requirements. This release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy of any securities in
the United States
. The securities
described herein 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 be offered or sold within
the United States
except in compliance with the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws or pursuant to available exemptions therefrom.
Related Party Participation in the Offering:
Certain insiders of the Company, including
Collin Kettell
(CEO and Director), expect to participate in the Non-Brokered Private Placement. The participation by
insiders in the Offering constitutes a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 –
Protection of Minority Security Holders in
Special Transactions
("MI 61-101"). The Company is relying on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101
contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the Common Shares purchased by insiders, nor the consideration for
the Common Shares paid by such insiders, will exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The Company expects that the closings of the Offering will
occur within 21 days of this announcement and that it will not file a material change report in respect of the related party transaction at least 21 days before the
closings. The Company deems this circumstance reasonable in order to complete the Offering in an expeditious manner. The Offering has been unanimously
approved by the Company's board of directors. Further information regarding the interest in the Offering of every related party and the effect that the Offering will
have on their percentage of securities of the Company will be provided once finalized.
