Alma Gold Inc. (CSE: ALMA) ("Alma Gold" or the "Corporation") announces that it has closed a private placement of 6,265,000 units ("Units") of the Corporation at an issue price of $0.10 per Unit and raised gross proceeds of $626,500 (the "Offering").
Each Unit consists of one common share (each, a "Share") and one transferable Share purchase warrant (each a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one additional Share of the Corporation at a price of CAD$0.15 for a period of 24 months from closing.
Alma Gold intends to use the proceeds of the Offering for working capital, general corporate purposes and for advancing exploration interests.
In connection with the Offering, the Corporation has paid cash finder's fees of CAD$18,454 to qualified parties.
All securities issued are subject to a statutory four month and one day hold period that expires on April 21, 2023.
None of the securities issued in connection with the Offering will be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and none of them will be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state where such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful.
One insider (the "Insider") of the Corporation participated in the Offering and has purchased either directly or indirectly an aggregate of 400,000 Units for gross proceeds of $40,000. The Offering is exempt from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101") by virtue of the exemptions contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in that the fair market value of the consideration for the securities of the Corporation to be issued to the Insider does not exceed 25% of its market capitalization.
The Corporation did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Offering as the details of the transaction therein by related parties of the Company were not settled until shortly prior to closing of the Offering and the Company wished to close on an expedited basis for sound business reasons.
