VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 20, 2020 /CNW/ - Heatherdale Resources Ltd.
("Heatherdale" or the
"Company") (TSXV: HTR) is pleased to announce, due to strong
investor demand, a further increase to the size of the previously
announced non-brokered private placement offering of common shares
(the "Common Shares") of the Company to CDN$5.8 million (the "Offering").
Financing
The Offering will consist of up to 36,250,000 pre-Consolidation
(7,250,000 post-Consolidation) Common Shares at a price of
CDN$0.16 (CDN$0.80 post-Consolidation) for up to total
gross proceeds of CDN$5.8
million. Certain finders may receive a finder's fee in
relation to those Common Shares sold to subscribers introduced by a
particular finder.
The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to fund
exploration activities on the Company's Niblack Cu-Au-Zn-Ag project
located in Alaska and working
capital purposes.
Certain directors and officers of the Company are expected to
acquire securities under the Offering. Such participation would be
considered to be a "related party transaction" as defined under
Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). The Offering
will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder
approval requirements of MI 61-101.
The closing of the Offering is subject to certain conditions
including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary
regulatory approvals, including the acceptance of the TSX Venture
Exchange. The securities issued under the Offering will be subject
to the standard four-month hold.
Consolidation
As previously announced, the Company intends to consolidate its
outstanding common shares on a 5 (old) for 1 (new) basis in order
to reduce the number of common shares outstanding (the
"Consolidation"). The Company currently has 74,699,254
common shares outstanding and following the Consolidation there
will be 14,939,850 common shares outstanding (before taking into
account the shares issued in the Offering described above).
It is anticipated that the Consolidation will occur
immediately prior to the closing of the financing. The board of
directors of the Company believe that the Consolidation is in the
best interest of its shareholders as it is anticipated that the
Consolidation will provide the Company with greater flexibility to
arrange the financings it requires to advance the Niblack
project. The Consolidation is subject to TSX Venture Exchange
approval, however no shareholder approval is required.
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.

will be obtained and the Company will continue with its stated
business objectives. Although management of the Company has
attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those contained in
