Ready Set Gold Announces Private Placement of Convertible Debentures

Ready Set Gold Corp. (CSE: RDY) (FSE: 0MZ) (OTC Pink: RDYFF) ("Ready Set Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it intends to conduct a non-brokered private placement with a group of arm's length investors (the "Private Placement") of up to 2,500 units of the Company (the "Units") at a price of $1,000 per Unit, for gross proceeds of up to $2,500,000. Each Unit will be comprised of: (i) a $1,000 principal amount three-year 7.5% senior unsecured convertible debenture ("Debenture"), and (ii) 3,334 common share purchase warrants of the Company (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). The Company has binding subscriptions from investors for proceeds totaling $1,820,000, which the Company expects to close imminently in an initial tranche of the Private Placement, including a lead order in the amount of $1,250,000 from Concept Capital Management, an asset management company focused on evaluating and investing in Canadian resource companies.

Debenture Conversion & Terms

Each Debenture will be convertible at any time after the date of issue at the option of the holder into common shares in the capital of the Company ("Common Shares") at a price of $0.27 per Common Share (the "Conversion Price"), subject to adjustment. After 24 months following the date of issue, if the Common Shares trade at or above $0.90, based on the trailing 30-day volume-weighted average price of the Common Shares traded on the CSE, the Company will have the right, exercisable within 10 business days of the end of the trading period, to require the automatic conversion of the Debentures at the Conversion Price by giving the holder 10 business days' prior written notice. In connection with the Private Placement, the Company will accept a qualified and experienced nominee of the investors to sit on the board of directors of the Company, and the identity of the said nominee will be announced upon closing of the financing. Should there be an "Change of Control" (as such term will be defined in the form of Debenture), the holder of the Debenture will have the right to demand full repayment of the Debenture on 10 business days' prior written notice.

Warrants

Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share (a "Warrant Share") at a price of $0.47 per share for a period of 36 months from the date of issue.

"This financing positions us to advance the exploration of our Northshore Project with programs planned for the summer and fall of this year. The financing is non-dilutive and being completed at arm's length with parties that have a track-record of identifying quality investment opportunities in the resource sector, which is a testament to the quality of our Northshore project and the early results from our maiden drill program campaign, as previously disclosed on May 20, 2021," said Christian Scovenna, CEO & Director of the Company.

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Private Placement for the exploration and development of the Company's gold exploration projects and for general working capital. The financing is expected to close on or about July 7thth, 2021.

All securities issued will be subject to a four month hold period pursuant to securities laws in Canada. The Private Placement remains subject to the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange. In connection with the Private Placement, the Company anticipates paying a finder's fee of up to 8% of the gross proceeds from investors sourced by an arm's length finder.

Overview

Ready Set Gold Corp. (CSE:RDY) is a Canadian gold exploration company that operates within mining-friendly and safe jurisdictions in Ontario. Ready Set Gold is currently pursuing high-grade gold projects within the province’s greenstone belts. Ready Set Gold’s fully owned Northshore project has a National Instrument 43-101 resource that indicates a total of 1.2 million ounces of gold. The Property is 771 contiguous hectares and comprises 229 hectares of patented claims and 542 hectares of unpatented claims. The Northshore property is located within the prolific Hemlo-Schreiber greenstone belt, approximately 5 kilometers south of the town of Schreiber, Ontario. In 2019 alone, Ontario produced 73,733 kilograms of gold.

The Northshore property is located 70 kilometers west of Barrick Gold’s (TSX:ABX,NYSE:GOLD) world-class Hemlo deposit, which has produced 21 million ounces of the precious metal. Northshore’s other neighbors include several established gold mines, such as Alamos Gold’s (TSX:AGI,NYSE:AGI) Island gold mine and Wesdome Gold Mines’ (TSX:WDO) Eagle River mine. Ready Set Gold aims to follow in the footsteps of these companies by targeting high-grade mineralization in the surrounding area.

The company owns two other projects located within major Ontario greenstone belts.

Editor's Picks: Gold Knocks Out Inflation-Adjusted High, Silver Breaks US$42

Gold's record-setting price run continued this week, with yet another new all-time high in the books. Silver also fared well, breaking US$42 per ounce.

According to Bloomberg, gold has now also surpassed its inflation-adjusted all-time high of US$850 per ounce, which it set more than 45 years ago on January 21, 1980. The news outlet notes that at the time the US was dealing with currency issues, inflation and recession concerns.

These are problems that sound all too familiar today. This week brought the release of the latest US consumer price index (CPI) data, which shows a 0.4 percent month-on-month increase for the all-items index — that's ahead of estimates and the most since the start of 2025.
