VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 17, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prosper Gold Corp. ("Prosper Gold" or the "Company") (TSXV:PGX) announces that it has completed a non-brokered private placement in the amount of  $350,000.04 (the “Private Placement”), through the issuance of 2,916,667 flow-through units of the Company (the “Flow-Through Units”) at a price of $0.12 per Flow-Through Unit.

Each Flow-Through Unit consists of one common share of the Company that qualifies as a “flow-through share” for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (a “FT Share”) and one–half of one non-transferable non-flow through common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “NFT Warrant”).  Each NFT Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one additional common share of the Company (a “NFT Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of $0.17 per NFT Warrant Share for a period of 24 months from the Closing Date. 

In the event that Prosper Gold’s common shares trade at a closing price on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSX-V”) of greater than $0.25 per common share for a period of 20 consecutive trading days at any time after the closing date of the Private Placement, Prosper may accelerate the expiry date of the NFT Warrants by giving notice to the holders thereof and in such case the NFT Warrants will expire on the 30th day after the date on which such notice is given by Prosper Gold (the “Acceleration Trigger”).

Pursuant to the Private Placement, two existing Insiders (as defined in the policies of the TSX-V) subscribed collectively for 166,667 Flow-Through Units.

In connection with the Private Placement and in accordance with the policies of the TSX-V, finder's fees totaling approximately $16,500 in cash were paid and approximately 137,500 common share purchase warrants (each, a "Finder Warrant") were issued. Each Finder Warrant is non-transferable and exercisable for one Prosper Share for a period of 24 months following closing at an exercise price equal to $0.17. The Finder Warrants terms contain the same Acceleration Trigger as the NFT Warrants.

Prosper Gold expects to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement to fund exploration activities in Ontario.

All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement 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 Flow-Through United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and were not permitted to be offered or sold within the Flow-Through United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of such Act.

The Company has granted an aggregate of 2,400,000 incentive options (the "Options") to purchase common shares of Prosper Gold to directors, officers, employees, and consultants of the Company. The Options are exercisable at a price of $0.15 per common share until 5 years from the date of grant.

The Options are granted pursuant to the Company's stock option plan. The grant of the Options is subject to the final approval of the TSX-V.

The Company is further pleased to announce that it has paid $20,190.90 to JCML Resources Inc. to acquire a 100% interest in the title for, PCL984 N1/2 LT 11 CON Egan, located in Egan Township.
