Guyana Goldstrike Closes First Tranche of Private Placement for Cdn$1,302,000

(TheNewswire)



February 17, 2021 TheNewswire - Vancouver, Canada Guyana Goldstrike Inc. (the "Company" or "Guyana Goldstrike") (TSXV:GYA ) ( OTC:GYNAF ) ( FSE:1ZT ) is pleased to announce that it has completed an initial tranche of a non-brokered private placement (the " Placement ") of 13,020,000 units (each, a " Unit ") at a price of $0.10 per Unit for gross proceeds of $1,302,000.  Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company, and one common share purchase warrant exercisable to acquire an additional common share at a price of $0.15 for a period of thirty- six months following the close of the Placement.  All securities issued in connection with the Placement are subject to a statutory hold period until June 13, 2021.

The Placement included an investment by Gold Mountains Asset Management Limited (" GMA "), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zijin Mining Group, on behalf of Zijin Global Fund (" Zijin Global ") . Following completion of the Placement, GMA has control of 4,060,000 common shares of the Company, representing approximately 16.4% of the Company's current issued and outstanding common shares, and 1,500,000 common share purchase warrants.  Ownership of the common shares and warrants is held by Zijin Global and Zijin Midas Exploration Fund.  GMA would have control of 5,560,000 common shares of the Company, representing approximately 22.5% of the then issued and outstanding common shares of the Company, assuming exercise of only the warrants controlled by GMA.

The securities were acquired by GMA for investment purposes, on behalf of Zijin Global and Zijin Midas Exploration Fund. In the future, additional securities of the Company may be acquired or disposed of by GMA, on behalf of Zijin Global and Zijin Midas Exploration Fund, through the market, privately or otherwise, as circumstances or market conditions may warrant.

Proceeds from the Placement will be used to pay liabilities, accounts payable, and for general working capital.  The Company intends to complete a further tranche of the Placement through the offering of up to 17,500,000 additional Units.

In connection with the Placement, arms-length agents received an aggregate cash fee of $1,600. In addition, the Company issued to agents 16,000 broker warrants (the " Broker Warrants "). Each Broker Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price equal to $0.15 for a period of thirty-six months following the closing of the Placement.

Certain insiders of the Company acquired 460,000 Units in the Placement. This participation by insiders in the Placement constitute a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (" MI 61-101 ") . However, the Company considers such participation would be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the Units subscribed for by the insiders, nor the consideration for the Units paid by such insiders, exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

Danielle DiMartino Booth: Trump, Powell and US Recession Reality — Where to Focus Now

Speaking to the Investing News Network, Danielle DiMartino Booth, CEO and chief strategist at QI Research, shared her thoughts on the US economy, shedding light on the US Federal Reserve's interest rate path.

Weighing in on Fed Chair Jerome Powell's November 14 comments, she said he remains steadfast in his message that while inflation is coming down to the Fed's 2 percent target, there's a bumpy path ahead that will require patience.

"I think the idea here is not so much to hang onto every single word he's saying about the economy, but rather to understand that he's retaining flexibility and does not want to be pigeonholed into saying, 'Okay, there was one report that came out and therefore we're going to do this.' I don't think that's his aim," DiMartino Booth explained.
