V ANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / February 11, 2025 / Relevant Gold Corp.
(TSXV:RGC)(OTCQB:RGCCF) (the "Company" or "Relevant Gold") is pleased to announce
a non-brokered private placement to raise gross proceeds of up to $5,000,000 through the sale of
up to 16,666,667 shares at the price of $0.30 per share led by two strategic investors.
Kinross Gold Corporation ("Kinross") (NYSE:KGC)(TSX:K) has committed to increase its
equity position in the Company to 19.9% of the issued and outstanding common shares with this
financing. Kinross currently holds approximately 9.9% of the Company's common shares on a
partially diluted basis.
Mr. William G. Bollinger has also committed to increase his equity position in the company to
19.9% in connection with this financing. Mr. Bollinger currently holds approximately 16.7% of
the Company's common shares.
The proceeds from the sale of the private placement will be used to fund exploration activities at
the Company's projects in Wyoming, USA, and for general working capital.
"This financing marks a significant milestone for Relevant Gold as it will allow us to launch a
major drill program in 2025 to capitalize on last year's very promising exploratory results," said
Relevant Gold CEO Rob Bergmann. "The stepped-up investment by our strategic shareholders
underscores their confidence in our incredible team, our assets, and the vast exploration
potential of Wyoming."
Certain directors and officers of the Company may acquire securities under the private placement.
Any such participation would be considered to be a "related party transaction" as defined under
Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). The transaction will be exempt from the formal
valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair
market value of any shares issued to or the consideration paid by such persons will exceed 25%
of the Company's market capitalization.
The Company may pay a finder's fee in connection with the private placement and this financing
is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. All securities to be issued in the Private
Placement will be subject to a four (4) month hold period from the closing date under applicable
securities laws in Canada and amongst other things, receipt by Relevant Gold of all necessary
