President & CEO, Lew Lawrick commented: “We
are very pleased that our shareholders have overwhelmingly embraced
and approved all of the business items presented to them at the
Meeting. Significantly, the acquisition of the ExploreCo assets
gives Magna Terra two exciting new district scale exploration
opportunities in Atlantic Canada that are drill ready with existing
in situ resource ounces, providing a strong value foundation. The
final step to closing the Acquisition will be meeting our minimum
financing condition and final approvals of the Exchange. We will
now move actively to complete these remaining conditions, and look
forward to an active exploration program including drill programs
on each project, that will commence in late Q2 2020.”
Update on Concurrent Private
Placement
As previously disclosed (see news releases dated
December 3, 2019 and February 3, 2020), the Company originally
anticipated proceeding with a non-brokered private placement of
unit subscription receipts and flow-through subscription receipts
(collectively, the “Subscription Receipts”) for minimum gross
proceeds of $3.1 million and maximum gross proceeds of $3.5 million
(the “Offering”). Following receipt by the Company of the required
shareholder approvals as disclosed above and given that the closing
of the Acquisition is scheduled to occur on or before March 31,
2020, the Company has elected to proceed with a non-brokered
private placement of units and flow-through shares rather than by
way of Subscription Receipts, with the other terms of the Offering
remaining unchanged.
As such, the Offering will consist of, on a
post-consolidation basis, (i) flow-through common shares (the “FT
Shares”) at a price of $0.25 per share for minimum of gross
proceeds of $1.3 million (5.2 million FT Shares) and maximum gross
proceeds of $1.7 million (6.8 million FT Shares) and (i) units of
the Company (the “Units”) at a price of $0.20 per Unit for gross
proceeds of $1.8 million (9 million units). Each Unit is comprised
of one common share and one-half of one share purchase warrant
(each whole warrant being a “Warrant”), each Warrant entitling the
holder thereof to purchase one additional common share of the
Company at a price of $0.30 per share for a period of 24 months
following the closing. The Warrants will also be subject to an
accelerated expiry provision whereby should the common shares of
the Company trade on the Exchange at a price of $0.50 or more for a
period of 10 consecutive trading days, the Warrants will expire 30
days following the receipt of a written notice to that effect from
the Company.
The closing of the Offering is conditional upon
(i) the Company having received subscriptions for FT Shares and
Units for minimum proceeds of $3.1 million (5.2 million FT Shares
and 9 million Units); (ii) the closing of the Acquisition; and (v)
the receipt of all required regulatory approvals including, without
limitation, the approval of the Exchange for the Acquisition,
Reverse- Take-Over and the Offering.
