RELEVANT GOLD ANNOUNCES NON-BROKERED $5M PRIVATE PLACEMENT LED BY STRATEGIC INVESTORS KINROSS AND BOLLINGER
Relevant Gold Corp. has arranged a non-brokered private placement to raise gross proceeds of up to $5-million through the sale of up to 16,666,667 shares at the price of 30 cents per share, led by two strategic investors.
Kinross Gold Corp. has committed to increase its equity position in the company to 19.9 per cent of the issued and outstanding common shares with this financing. Kinross currently holds approximately 9.9 per cent of the company's common shares on a partially diluted basis.
William G. Bollinger has also committed to increase his equity position in the company to 19.9 per cent in connection with this financing. Mr. Bollinger currently holds approximately 16.7 per cent of the company's common shares.
The proceeds from the sale of the private placement will be used to finance exploration activities at the company's projects in Wyoming, United States, and for general working capital.
"This financing marks a significant milestone for Relevant Gold, as it will allow us to launch a major drill program in 2025 to capitalize on last year's very promising exploratory results," said Relevant Gold chief executive officer Rob Bergmann. "The stepped-up investment by our strategic shareholders underscores their confidence in our incredible team, our assets and the vast exploration potential of Wyoming."
Certain directors and officers of the company may acquire securities under the private placement. Any such participation would be considered a related party transaction, as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101. The transaction will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of any shares issued to, nor the consideration paid by, such persons will exceed 25 per cent of the company's market capitalization.
The company may pay a finder's fee in connection with the private placement, and this financing is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. All securities to be issued in the private placement will be subject to a four-month hold period from the closing date under applicable securities laws in Canada and, amongst other things, receipt by Relevant Gold of all necessary regulatory approvals, including exchange approval. The company anticipates closing the private placement in late February, 2025, subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals.
