Rob McEwen and Crescat Capital LLC have completed their strategic investments in Goliath Resources Ltd.

Gross proceeds from tranche one totaled $4,115,616 and the second and the final tranche of up to ~$4,484,384 gross proceeds is scheduled to close on or around October 11, 2023.
Mr. McEwen subscribed for $1,000,440 NFT units priced at $0.63 for a total of 1,588,000 units through his personal holding company. Once the second tranche closes, he will own ~2.4% (P/D) of Goliath. Mr. McEwen is the founder and former Chairman of Goldcorp where he discovered, built, and operated the Red Lake Mine in Ontario which was acquired by Newmont Mining in 2019 for US$10 billion. Mr. McEwen is currently the Chairman and Chief Owner of McEwen Mining Inc., a gold and silver producer with operations in Nevada, Canada, and Mexico.
Goliath's largest shareholder, Crescat Capital, subscribed for $500,220 for a total of 794,000 NFT units. Once the second tranche closes, they will own ~18.4% (P/D) of Goliath. Crescat Capital participated in the Offering pursuant to a pre-emptive right granted to them by the Company (see about Crescat Capital below).
~$4,484,384 (or 52%) of the up to $8,600,000 announced non-brokered private placement is priced at $1.00 per Charity Flow Through (CFT) unit which helps minimize excessive dilution based on the Company's low share price and market cap. The second tranche is entirely comprised of CFT funds and is scheduled to close on or around October 11, 2023.
The financing is closing in two tranches in a combination of: (i) 5,656,406 Non-Flow-Through units sold at a price of $0.63 per NFT unit. Each NFT unit consists of one common share of the Company and one-half purchase warrant, entitling the holder thereof to purchase one common share for every whole warrant for a period of 18 months from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.78; (ii) 4,484,384 Charity Flow-Through units to be sold at a price of $1.00 per CFT unit. Each CFT unit will consist of one common share that will qualify as a flow-through share within the meaning of Subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) plus one-half purchase warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one common share for every whole warrant for a period of 18 months from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.78; and (iii) 824,000 Flow-Through (FT) shares sold at a price of $0.67 per one flow-through share within the meaning of Subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada).
The Company intends to use the gross proceeds raised from the CFT & FT offering for exploration and related programs on Goliath's Golddigger and Lucky Strike properties located in and around the Golden Triangle of northwestern British Columbia. The proceeds from the NFT offering be used for general working capital and administrative purposes.
The gross proceeds from the CFT and FT offering will be used for Canadian exploration expenses as such term is defined in paragraph (f) of the definition of Canadian exploration expense in Subsection 66.1(6) of the tax act, flow-through mining expenditures as defined in Subsection 127(9) of the tax act that will qualify as flow-through mining expenditures, and B.C. flow-through mining expenditures as defined in Subsection 4.721(1) of the Income Tax Act (British Columbia), which will be incurred on or before Dec. 31, 2024, and renounced with an effective date no later than Dec. 31, 2023. British Columbia Super Flow - the B.C. mining flow-through share (B.C. MFTS) tax credit allows BC Residents who invest in flow-through shares to claim a provincial non-refundable tax credit of 20% of their B.C. flow-through mining expenditures. B.C. flow-through mining expenditures are specific exploration expenses incurred by a PBC and renounced by a corporation issuing the flow-through shares.
Goliath may pay finders' fees composed of cash and warrants in connection with the offering, subject to compliance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. All securities issued and sold under the offering will be subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day from their date of issuance. Completion of the offering and the payment of any finders' fees remain subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
