February 17 2022 - 10:49AM
Thesis Gold Inc. (
TSXV: TAU)
("
Thesis" or the "
Company") is
pleased to announce today that it has completed its previously
announced marketed best efforts private placement (the
“
Offering”) for total gross proceeds of
$24,500,115. Mr. Eric Sprott purchased 3,700,000 common shares of
the Company as a result of this Offering and following the closing
of the Offering (the "
Closing") will hold
approximately 6.65% of the issued and outstanding common shares of
the Company.
As described in a previous news release dated
January 21, 2022 announcing the Offering, the Offering was for
gross proceeds of C$20,000,115 for Premium flow-through common
shares (the “Premium FT Shares”) at a price of
C$2.70 per Premium FT Share for the issuance of up to 7,407,450
Premium FT Shares and gross proceeds of $4,500,000 for the regular
flow-through common shares (the “FT Shares”) at a
price of $2.40 per FT Share for the issuance of up to 1,875,000 FT
Shares, for combined aggregate gross proceeds of $24,500,115.
Ewan Webster, President, and CEO commented,
“With this financing, Thesis is fully funded for its 2022
exploration and drill program where we look to complete up to
50,000 metres. This program will focus on the expansion potential
of the known zones of mineralization in addition to testing new
epithermal and porphyry targets across our extensive 100% owned 180
km2 Ranch project.”
The gross proceeds from the sale of Premium FT
Shares and FT Shares (together, the "Flow-Through
Shares") will be used by the Company to incur eligible
"Canadian exploration expenses" that will qualify as "flow-through
mining expenditures" as such terms are defined in the Income Tax
Act (Canada) (the "Qualifying Expenditures")
related to the Company's projects in Canada. All Qualifying
Expenditures will be renounced in favour of the subscribers of the
Flow-Through Shares effective December 31, 2022. The net proceeds
from the sale of the Flow-Through Shares will be used by the
Company for exploration of its Ranch Gold Project as Qualifying
Expenditures.
The Offering was made pursuant to an agency
agreement (the "Agency Agreement") among the
Company and a syndicate of agents led by Clarus Securities Inc.,
and including Cormark Securities Inc. (collectively, the
"Agents").
Pursuant to the Agency Agreement, the Company
(i) paid the Agents a cash commission (the "Agents'
Fee") representing 6% of the gross proceeds raised under
the Offering; and (ii) issued to the Agents non-transferable broker
warrants (each, a "Broker Warrant") entitling the
Agents to acquire that number of non-flow-through common shares of
the Company ("Non-Flow-Through Shares") equal to
6% of the total number of Flow-Through Shares sold pursuant to the
Offering. Each Broker Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire
one Non-Flow-Through Share at a price of $2.70 per share at any
time for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the
Offering.
All securities issued pursuant to this Offering
are subject to a restricted hold period of four months and a day,
under applicable Canadian securities legislation. The Offering
remains subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange
(the “TSXV”).
