/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR
DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED
STATES/
VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 9, 2020 /CNW/ - NxGold Ltd. (the
"Company") (TSXV: NXN) is pleased to announce that, subject
to the receipt of all required regulatory approvals, including the
approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"), it
intends to change its name from "NxGold Ltd." to
"International Consolidated Uranium Inc." and commence
trading on the TSXV under the new symbol "CUR".
Further details regarding the name change will be announced
prior to the effective date.
The company would also like to announce a non-brokered private
placement of units (the "Units") of the Company for gross
proceeds of up to C$1,500,000 (the
"Offering"). Red Cloud Securities Inc. is acting as a
finder in connection with the Offering, and it is anticipated that
Segra Capital Management, LLC will be a lead order.
Each Unit is being offered at a price of C$0.50 and will be comprised of one common share
of the Company and one half common share purchase warrant (a
"Warrant"), each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to
acquire one common share of the Company at a price of C$0.75 for a period of 36 months from the date of
closing of the Offering. The net proceeds from the Units will be
primarily used for general working capital purposes.
Philip Williams, NxGold's
President and CEO commented: "The proposed name change represents
the next step in the Company's transition into the uranium sector
and reflects our goal of becoming the leading consolidator of
assets worldwide. We are incredibly pleased with the strong
interest our model is generating from the investment community and
these additional funds raised, combined with our existing financial
resources, put us on a strong footing to execute this strategy. We
are also pleased to welcome Segra Capital, a leading investor in
the uranium sector, to our share register who join Mega Uranium, a
well-respected uranium company builder and backer."
The closing of the Offering is expected to occur in early
October and is subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory
approvals. The Units, including all underlying securities thereof,
and any finders warrants issued with respect to the Offering, will
be subject to a hold period of four months and one day in
accordance with applicable securities laws.
The Company anticipates that Insiders of the Company will
subscribe for Units in the Offering. The issuance of common
shares to Insiders is considered a related party transaction
subject to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority
Security Holders in Special Transactions. The Company intends to
rely on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority
shareholder approval requirements provided under sections 5.5(a)
and 5.7(a) of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 on the basis that the
participation in the private placement by the Insiders will not
exceed 25% of the fair market value of the Company's market
capitalization. A material change report in connection with
the Offering will be filed less than 21 days before the closing of
the Offering. This shorter period is reasonable and necessary
in the circumstances as the Company wishes to complete the Offering
in a timely manner.
