Winnipeg, Manitoba–(Newsfile Corp. – February 24, 2021) – Gossan Resources Limited (TSXV: GSS) (FSE: GSR) (Xetra: GSR) (the “Company“) has completed a non-brokered private placement offering (the “Offering“) of 6,600,000 units (“Units“) of the Company at a purchase price of $0.06 per Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of $396,000. Each Unit consists of one common share (“Common Share“) in the capital of the Company and one Common Share purchase warrant (a “Warrant“) of the Company. Each Warrant is exercisable to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.08 until December 21, 2021; and thereafter, at a price of $0.12 until expiry on December 21, 2022.
The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for general corporate and working capital purposes. All securities issued in connection with the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the closing date, expiring on June 25, 2021. The offering is subject to receipt of final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Offering constituted a “related party transaction” as such term is defined by Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101“) as a certain director of the Company, subscribed for an aggregate of 100,000 Units pursuant to the Offering. Prior to the completion of the Offering, the director held, directly or indirectly, 275,000 Common Shares of the Company and 350,000 stock options of the Company, representing approximately 0.82% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis and approximately 0.91% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares on a partially diluted basis. Upon completion of the Offering, the director now beneficially owns and controls, directly or indirectly, 375,000 Common Shares, 100,000 Warrants and 350,000 stock options, representing approximately 0.80% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis and approximately 1.74% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares on a partially diluted basis. The Company is relying on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as the fair market value of the participation in the Offering by the director does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report in respect of the related party transaction at least 21 days before the closing of the Offering, which the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances in order to complete the Offering in an expeditious manner.
As consideration for introducing certain purchasers of Units to the Company, the Company paid an eligible person (the “Finder“) a cash commission of $17,064, being equal to 6% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering with respect to the subscribers introduced to the Company by such Finder. In addition, the Company issued an aggregate of 284,400 finder warrants (the “Finder Warrants“) to the Finder, being equal to 6% of the aggregate number of Units sold under the Offering attributable to the Finder. Each Finder Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.08 per Common Share until expiry on December 21, 2022.
The securities issued pursuant to the Offering have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United states or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
