Independence Gold Announces Closing of Oversubscribed $1,787,500 Non-Brokered Private Placement
01 January 2022 - 6:26AM
Independence Gold Corp. (TSX.V: IGO) (the
"Company") wishes to announce that it has closed the non-brokered
private placement announced on December 2, 2021 (the “Offering”).
The Company issued 2,700,000 units (the “Units”)
at a price of $0.10 per Unit for proceeds of $270,000 (the “Unit
Proceeds”), and 15,175,000 flow-through common shares (“FT Common
Shares”), and together with the Units, the “Securities”) at a price
of $0.10 per FT Common Share for proceeds of $1,517,500 (together
with the Unit Proceeds, the “Funds”), for a total proceeds of
$1,787,500 under the Offering, representing an over subscription of
2,875,000 common shares for proceeds of approximately $287,500,
from the originally announced Offering.
Each Unit consists of one common share and
one-half common share purchase warrant (each, a “Warrant”). Each
whole warrant (“Warrant”) is exercisable into one common share in
the capital of the Company at an exercise price of $0.15 per common
share for a period of 24 months from the date of issue. The Company
paid aggregate cash finder’s fees of $53,700 cash and issued an
aggregate of 537,000 non-transferable finders compensation warrants
(“Finder’s Warrants”) in connection with the distribution of FT
Shares and Units to arm’s length subscribers. Each Finder’s Warrant
entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at
a price of $0.15 per common share until December 30, 2023.
Insiders of the Company participated in the
private placement on the same terms and conditions as non-arm’s
length subscribers, subscribing for a total of 1,100,000 Units for
aggregate proceeds of C$110,000. The issuance of these securities
to the insiders of the Company are “related party transactions”
under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange and Multilateral
Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in
Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company is relying on
exemptions from the minority shareholder approval and formal
valuation requirements applicable to the related party transactions
under Sections 5.7(b) and 5.5(b), respectively, of MI 61-101. There
has been no prior formal valuation of the common shares and
Warrants issued as there has not been any necessity to do so. The
Private Placement has been reviewed and unanimously approval by the
Company’s board of directors, including the independent directors.
In accordance with applicable securities legislation, all
securities issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a hold
period of four months plus one day from the date of the completion
of the Offering.
The proceeds from the sale of the FT Common
Shares will be used by the Company to incur for “Canadian
exploration expenses” as defined by the Income Tax Act (Canada) at
its 3Ts Property, as well as its Merit and Nicoamen properties in
British Columbia, Canada and the Unit Proceeds will be used for
general and administrative expenses.
