TESORO MINERALS ANNOUNCES COMPLETION OF PRIVATE PLACEMENT
(Not for distribution to United States newswire services or for dissemination in the
United States of America)
September 20, 2019 (TSX Venture: TES) – Tesoro Minerals Corp., (“Tesoro” or the “Company”)
is pleased to announce that it has completed its previously announced non-brokered private
placement financing (the “Private Placement”) raising aggregate gross proceeds of $205,000 by
the issuance of 4,100,000 units (a “Unit”) at $0.05 per Unit (all dollar amounts in CAD$). Each
Unit consists of one common share (a "Share") and one transferable common share purchase
warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle
the holder to purchase one additional Share at a price of $0.10 per Share for a period of two
years from the date hereof.
In connection with the Private Placement, the Company paid a finder’s fee to Haywood
Securities Inc. in respect of subscribers introduced to the Company, which consisted of a cash
payment of $12,000.
The net proceeds of the Private Placement are expected to be used by Tesoro for general
working capital and operating expenses to support business efforts.
All securities issued under the Private Placement are subject to a four month and one-day
restricted resale period expiring on January 21, 2020 in accordance with the policies of the TSX
Venture Exchange and applicable securities laws.
One insider of the Company participated in the Private Placement, thereby making the Private
Placement a “related party transaction”, as defined under Multilateral Instrument – Protection of
Minority Security Holders in Security Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Private Placement was
exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101
as the Company is not listed on a specified market (as set out in Section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101)
and the fair market value of the Units issued to, nor the consideration paid by, the insider
exceeded $2,500,000 (as set out in Section 5.7(1)(b) of MI 61-101). A material change report in
respect of the Private Placement will be filed less than 21 days before closing of the Private
Placement as the closing date and the participation by the related party were not settled until
shortly prior to closing and the Company wished to complete the Private Placement in an
expeditious manner for sound business reasons.
