TNR Gold Announces Non-Brokered Private Placement
Vancouver, British Columbia – April 14, 2020: TNR Gold Corp. (TSX-V: TNR) (“TNR”, “TNR Gold” or
the “ Company”) is pleased to announce that it is arranging a non-brokered private placement (the
“Private Placement”) of up to 10,000,000 units (each a “Unit”) at $0.03 per unit to raise up to
CAN$300,000. Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company and one non-transferable
common share purchase warrant (each a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will be exercisable into one common
share in the capital of the Company at an exercise price of $0. 05 per share for five years from the date
of issue.
The proceeds of the Private Placement will be used for exploration, maintenance of the Shotgun Gold
project and for general working capital purposes. All Private Placement securities will be restricted from
trading for a period of four months plus one day from the date of closing.
Kirill Klip, Executive Chairman of the Company and a non-arms’ length party, will participate in this Private
Placement. The issuance of private placement securities to non-arms’ length parties constitutes related-
party transaction s under Multilateral Instrument 61 -101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in
Special Transactions (“MI 61 -101”). Because the Company’s shares trade only on the TSX Venture
Exchange, the issuance of securities is exempt from the formal valuation requirements of Section 5.4 of
MI 61 -101 pursuant to Subsection 5.5(b) of MI 61 -101 and exempt from the minority approval
requirements of Section 5.6 of MI 61-101 pursuant to Section 5.7(b). The Company did not file a material
change report 21 days prior to the closing of the private placement as the details of the participation of
insiders of the Company had not been confirmed at that time.
This Private Placement will replace the private placement announced on February 11, 2020 which is
withdrawn. The Private Placement is subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
