NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE U.S.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Goldshore Resources Inc. (TSXV: GSHR / OTC Markets: GSHRF / FWB: 8X00) (“Goldshore” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Research Capital Corporation and Eventus Capital Corp., as co-lead agents and joint bookrunners (the “Lead Agents”), on their own behalf and on behalf of a syndicate of agents to be formed (together with the Lead Agents, the “Agents”), in connection with a brokered private placement of the following securities (the “Offered Securities”) for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $5,000,000 (the “Offering”):
(i) units of the Company (each, a “Unit”) at a price of $0.17 per Unit, comprised of one common share of the Company (each, a “Common Share”) and one-half common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”); and
(ii) flow-through units of the Company (each, a “FT Unit”) at a price of $0.195 per FT Unit, comprised of one Common Share that will qualify as “flow-through shares” within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”) and one-half of one Warrant.
Each Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.25, for a period of 24 months following the Closing Date (as defined below).
The Company will grant the Agents an option (the “Agents’ Option”), which will allow the Agents to offer up to an additional 15% of the Offering, on the same terms as the Offered Securities. The Agents’ Option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time prior to the Closing Date of the Offering.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds raised from the sale of Units for working capital and future exploration work on its Moss Lake gold deposit in Northwest Ontario, Canada.
The gross proceeds from the issuance of the FT Units will be used for “Canadian Exploration Expenses” within the meaning of the Tax Act (the “Qualifying Expenditures”), which will be renounced with an effective date no later than December 31, 2023 to the purchasers of the FT Units in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issue of FT Units. If the Qualifying Expenditures are reduced by the Canada Revenue Agency, the Company will indemnify each subscriber of FT Units for any additional taxes payable by such subscriber as a result of the Company’s failure to renounce the Qualifying Expenditures.
The Offering is scheduled to close on or about the week of April 12, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), or on such date as agreed upon between the Company and the Lead Agents, and is subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals, including, but not limited to, the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Offered Securities will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the Closing Date in accordance with applicable securities laws.
The Company has agreed to pay to the Agents a cash commission equal to 6% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, subject to a reduction for certain orders on a “president’s list”. In addition, the Company has agreed to issue to the Agents compensation warrants of the Company exercisable for a period of 24 months, to acquire in aggregate that number of common shares of the Company which is equal to 6% of the number of Offered Securities sold under the Offering, subject to a reduction for certain orders on a “president’s list”.
This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.
Neither the TSXV nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSXV) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
