VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 18, 2024 / NV Gold Corporation (TSXV:NVX)(OTCQB:NVGLF)(FSE:8NV) ("NV Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed the first tranche (the "First Tranche") of its non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement"), as previously announced in the Company's news release dated September 4, 2024.
In connection with the First Tranche, NV Gold issued 1,000,000 units (each, a "Unit") at a price of $0.20 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $200,000. Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a "Common Share") and one non-transferable Common Shares purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant is exercisable into one Common Share at a price of $0.30 per Common Share for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance, subject to an acceleration provision should the Common Shares have a closing price of $0.45 per Common Share for a period of 10 consecutive trading days.
The Company intends to use the proceeds of the First Tranche to make property payments, advance the exploration and development of its wholly owned exploration properties in Nevada and for general and administration expenses.
All securities issued pursuant to the First Tranche will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus one day from the date of issuance, in addition to such other restrictions as may apply under applicable securities laws of jurisdictions outside Canada. No finder's fees were paid in connection with the First Tranche.
None of the securities sold in connection with the First Tranche have been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and no such securities may be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in the United States or any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
The Private Placement is subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
Early Warning Disclosure
John Watson, President, Chairman, CEO and a director of the Company, purchased a total of 1,000,000 Units in the First Tranche at a price of $0.20 per Unit for aggregate consideration of $200,000. Prior to closing of the First Tranche, Mr. Watson held 940,543 Common Shares, 97,500 stock options and 125,000 common share purchase warrants, each warrant entitling Mr. Watson to purchase one additional Common Share upon payment of additional consideration to the Company. These Common Shares, stock options and warrants represented approximately 10.48% of the Company's then-issued and outstanding Common Shares on an undiluted basis and approximately 12.65% of the Company's then-issued and outstanding Common Shares on a partially diluted basis, assuming conversion of Mr. Watsons stock options and warrants into Common Shares. Following the completion of the First Tranche, Mr. Watson beneficially owns and controls an aggregate of 1,940,543 Common Shares, 97,500 stock options and 1,125,000 common share purchase warrants, representing approximately 19.45% of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Shares on an undiluted basis and approximately 28.25% of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Shares on a partially diluted basis, assuming conversion of Mr. Watsons stock options and warrants into Common Shares.
The participation by Mr. Watson in the Private Placement constitutes a related party transaction within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company has relied on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(b) of MI 61-101 in respect of such insider participation. The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the First Tranche as the details and amounts of Mr. Watson's participation were not finalized until closer to closing and the Company wished to close the transaction as soon as practicable for sound business reasons.
The Units were acquired by Mr. Watson for investment purposes. Mr. Watson may acquire additional securities of the Company, including on the open market or through private acquisitions, or sell securities of the Company, including on the open market or through private dispositions, in the future depending on market conditions, reformulation of plans and/or other relevant factors.
Both the Company and Mr. Watson can be contacted at the Company's head office at #250 - 750 West Pender Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 2T7.
