Thesis Gold Closes $10 Million Private
Placement
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 17, 2024) - Thesis Gold Inc. (TSXV: TAU)
(FSE: A3EP87) (OTCQX: THSGF) ("
Thesis
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to announce that today the
Company has closed its brokered private placement offering. Clarus Securities Inc. ("
Clarus
") and
Cormark Securities Inc. (together with Clarus, the "
Co-Lead Agents
") acted as Co-Lead Agents, on
behalf of a syndicate of agents including BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., H&P Advisors Ltd., Canaccord Genuity
Corp., Raymond James Ltd., and Ventum Financial Corp. (together with the Co-Lead Agents, the
"
Agents
"), for an equity private placement raising gross proceeds of approximately $10 million (the
"
Offering
").
Under the Offering, the Company issued 16,666,667 common shares (the "
Common Shares
") at a
price of $0.60 per Common Share, for total aggregate gross proceeds of $10,000,000.20. All securities
issued under the Offering are subject to a four-month hold period in accordance with the policies of the
TSX Venture Exchange (the "
TSXV
") and applicable securities laws. The Offering did not result in the
creation of any new "control person" (as defined under applicable securities laws) of the Company. The
securities issued under the Offering were issued pursuant to certain private placement exemptions under
applicable securities laws. The private placement Offering is subject to the final acceptance by the
TSXV.
Certain insiders of the Company participated in the Offering, which constitutes a "related party
transaction" as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in
Special Transactions ("
MI 61-101
"). The Company is exempt from the formal valuation and minority
shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the securities issued
to related parties nor the consideration for such securities exceeds 25% of the Company's market
capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before closing the
Offering as matters relating to the related parties' participation in the Private Placement were not settled
until within such 21-day period and the Company wished to close the Private Placement on an expedited
basis for sound business reasons.
In consideration of the services rendered by the Agents in connection with the Offering, the Company
paid the Agents upon closing of the Offering (the "
Closing
") a cash commission of $600,000.01 equal
to 6% of the gross proceeds from the Offering. In addition, the Company also issued to the Agents on
Closing, 1,000,000 non-transferable compensation options to acquire a number of Common Shares
equal to 6% of the aggregate number of Common Shares sold under the Offering, having an exercise
price of $0.60 per Common Share for 18 months following Closing.

or state that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will be taken",
"occur" or "be achieved". Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of
assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management, are inherently subject to business,
market, and economic risks, uncertainties, and contingencies that may cause actual results,
performance, or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by forward-
looking statements. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may
be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated, or intended. There can be no
assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could
differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place
undue reliance on forward-looking information. Other factors which could materially affect such
