Management and the board of directors of the Company wish to extend their sincere condolences to Dr. Jackson's family and friends.
The Company also wishes to announce that, due to market conditions, it has amended the terms of its private placement previously announced on February 22, 2023. Pursuant to the new terms of the offering (the " Offering "), the Company intends to issue up to 4,166,666 units (each, a " Unit ") at a price of $0.60 per Unit, to raise gross proceeds of up to $2,500,000. Each Unit will be comprised of one common share (each, a " Share ") and one share purchase warrant (each, a " Warrant "). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder to acquire one additional common share (a " Warrant Share ") at a price of $0.90 per Warrant Share for a period of 18 months after the date of issuance. The Offering is expected to close on or about May 30, 2023 and is subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (" TSXV ").
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to fund operations of the fully constructed 800 tonne-per-day gravimetric mill, as well as future exploration work on the Vila Nova Gold project located in Amapa State, Brazil (the " Vila Nova Project "). The Company possesses a 50% net profit interest on all net profit generated from the Vila Nova Project. Funds will be advanced to ECO Mining Oil & Gaz Drilling and Exploration (EIRELI) (" ECO "), as operator of the Vila Nova Project, by way of one or more loans to ECO. Net proceeds will also be used for general working capital purposes.
Finder's fees or brokers' commissions comprised of cash, securities of the Company or a combination thereof may be paid in connection with the Offering, in accordance with the policies of the TSXV. The Units, Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance.
The Offering will be conducted pursuant to available prospectus exemptions, including issuances to accredited investors, close personal friends and close business associates of directors and officers of the Company and to existing shareholders of the Company pursuant to the exemption set out in BC Instrument 45-534 (the " Existing Shareholder Exemption "). Shareholders of record of the Company as at April 21, 2023 (the " Record Date ") are eligible to participate under the Existing Shareholder Exemption. In order to rely on the Existing Shareholder Exemption, the subscriber; (a) must have been a shareholder of the Company on the Record Date and continue to hold shares of the Company until the closing date of the Offering, (b) must be purchasing the Shares as principal, and (c) may not purchase more than $15,000 value of securities in any 12-month period, unless the subscriber has received advice from a registered investment dealer regarding the suitability of the investment. If the Company receives subscriptions from investors relying on the Existing Shareholder Exemption which exceed the maximum amount of the Offering, the Company intends to adjust the subscriptions received on a pro-rata basis.
The Offering may close in one or more tranches, as subscriptions are received. Any participation by insiders will constitute a related party transaction under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders In Special Transactions (" MI 61-101 ") but is expected to be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101.
