VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 20, 2024 /CNW/ - GoldMining Inc. (the "Company" or "GoldMining") (TSX: GOLD) (NYSE: GLDG) announces it has renewed its at-the-market equity program (the "ATM Program") that allows the Company to distribute up to US$50 million (or the equivalent in Canadian dollars) of common shares of the Company (the "Offered Shares") to the public from time to time, through the Agents (as defined below), at the Company's discretion. The Offered Shares sold under the ATM Program, if any, will be sold at the prevailing market price at the time of sale.
Sales of Offered Shares through the ATM Program will be made pursuant to the terms of an equity distribution agreement dated December 20, 2024 (the "Distribution Agreement") with a syndicate of agents led by BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. and BMO Capital Markets Corp., and including Canaccord Genuity, H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, Laurentian Bank Securities Inc. and Roth Capital Partners, LLC (collectively, the "Agents").
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of any such sales under the ATM Program to fund the exploration and development of its mineral properties, including to complete minimum work programs, property payments and other expenditures to maintain the Company's property rights, to fund future acquisitions as may be determined by the Company, and for working capital.
Under the Distribution Agreement, sales of Offered Shares will be made by the Agents through "at-the-market distributions" as defined in National Instrument 44-102 – Shelf Distributions on the Toronto Stock Exchange, NYSE American or any other trading market for the Offered Shares in Canada or the United States. The Company is not obligated to make any sales of Offered Shares under the Distribution Agreement. Unless earlier terminated by the Company or the Agents as permitted therein, the Distribution Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (a) the date that the aggregate gross sales proceeds of the Offered Shares sold under the ATM Program reaches the aggregate amount of US$50 million (or the equivalent in Canadian dollars); or (b) December 24, 2025.
The ATM Program will become effective upon the filing of a prospectus supplement to the Company's short form base shelf prospectus dated November 24, 2023, and U.S. registration statement on Form F-10 filed November 28, 2023. The prospectus supplement relating to the ATM Program will be filed shortly with the securities commissions in each of the provinces and territories of Canada and with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Copies of the prospectus supplement, the Distribution Agreement and other relevant documents will be available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and EDGAR at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, the lead agent will send copies of such documents to investors upon request.
The renewed ATM Program replaces the Company's at-the-market equity program that commenced in November 2023 and expires on December 31, 2024.
