TSXV: ARL.P
TORONTO, Nov. 8, 2023
/CNW/ - Aurum Lake Mining Corporation ("Aurum"
or the "Company") is pleased to announce that further
to its news release of December 21,
2022, it has received conditional approval from the TSX
Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") to complete Aurum's option
(the "Option") to acquire a 100% interest of certain mineral
claims known as the Homathko Gold Project, located in the Province
of British Columbia (the
"Homathko Property") pursuant to an option agreement with
Transition Metals Corp. (the "Option Agreement"). The Option
Agreement will constitute its "Qualifying Transaction" (the
"Transaction") in accordance with Exchange Policy 2.4 -
Capital Pool Companies ("Policy 2.4").
In connection with the Transaction, Aurum plans to complete a
non-brokered private placement (the "Concurrent Financing")
of 5,000,000 common shares (the "Common Shares") in the
capital of Aurum at a price of $0.40
per Common Share to raise aggregate proceeds of up to $2,000,000. Aurum intends to use the proceeds
from the Concurrent Financing to fund the exercise of the Option,
the exploration of the Homathko Property, and to satisfy the
general working capital of the resulting issuer following the
Transaction.
In connection with the Concurrent Financing, Aurum will pay a
finder's fee consisting of (i) a cash commission in the amount of
6% of the gross proceeds raised in the Concurrent Financing from
persons introduced to Aurum by the finder (the "Cash Fee")
and (ii) compensation warrants ("Finder's Warrants") equal
to 6% of the aggregate Common Shares subscribed for by persons
introduced to Aurum by the finder. The payment of the Cash Fee and
the issuance of the Finder's Warrant will occur upon on completion
of the Transaction. Each Finder's Warrant entitles the holder
thereof to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of
$0.40 per Common Share for a period
of twenty-four (24) months from the date of issuance of the
respective Finder's Warrant. Assuming a Concurrent Financing of
$2,000,000, the Company will issue up
to 300,000 Finder's Warrants pursuant to the Concurrent
Financing.
Completion of the Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of
the conditions of the Exchange including completion of the
Concurrent Financing.
Completion of the Transaction is subject to a number of
conditions, including, but not limited to, Exchange acceptance and,
if applicable pursuant to Exchange requirements, majority of the
minority shareholder approval. Where applicable, the Transaction
cannot close until the required shareholder approval is obtained.
There can be no assurance that the Transaction will be completed as
proposed or at all.
Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the
management information circular or filing statement to be prepared
in connection with the Transaction, any information released or
received with respect to the Transaction may not be accurate or
complete and should not be relied upon. Trading in the securities
of a capital pool company should be considered highly
speculative.
