VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prosper Gold Corp. ("Prosper Gold" or the "Company") (TSXV:PGX) announces that it has closed the first tranche (the “First Tranche”) of a non-brokered private placement of (i) units (each, a “Unit”) and (ii) common shares of the Company that qualify as “flow through shares” for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Financing”).
The First Tranche consisted of (i) 2,520,000 Units at a price of $0.10 per Unit and (ii) 3,400,000 FT Shares at a price of $0.15 per FT Share, for gross proceeds to the Company of $762,000. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (each, a “Common Share”) and one common share purchase warrant (each, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.20 (the “Warrant Exercise Price”) for a period of 36 months following the closing date.
The Company paid an aggregate of $12,100 in cash and issued an aggregate of 84,750 common share purchase warrants (each, a "Broker Warrant") to finders in connection with the closing of the First Tranche. Each Broker Warrant is non-transferable and exercisable for one Common Share for a period of 36 months following closing at the Exercise Price.
The Company expects to close the second tranche of the Financing during the week of November 27, 2023, for aggregate gross proceeds under the Financing of up to $1,000,000.
Prosper Gold expects to use the net proceeds from the Financing to fund exploration activities at the Company’s Golden Sidewalk Project and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The Financing involves related parties (as such term is defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”)) and therefore constitutes a related party transaction under MI 61-101. This transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI 61-101, as the fair market value of the securities to be distributed and the consideration to be received for the securities under the Financing does not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
All securities issued pursuant to the Financing will be subject to a four month and one day hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws. The securities described herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and were not permitted to be offered or sold within the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of such Act.
