CRANBROOK, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 12, 2021 / Taiga Gold Corp (CSE:TGC) ("Taiga" or the "Company") announces that it intends to complete a non-brokered private placement to arms-length and non-arms- length investors of up to 12,500,000 flow-through units of the Company (each, a "FT Unit") at a price of $0.20 per FT Unit for gross proceeds of up to $2,500,000 (the "Offering").
Each FT Unit will consist of one common share of the Company to be issued on a "flow-through" basis pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada) (a "FT Share") and one transferable common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.30 at any time prior to the date that is thirty (30) months following the closing date of the Offering, subject to an accelerated expiry provision. If, at any time after the closing date of the Offering, the closing price of the Company's common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "Exchange") is greater than $0.60 per share for a period of 10 consecutive trading days, the Company may elect to accelerate the expiry date of all convertible securities issued in connection with the Offering, including the Warrants, at any date that is four months and one day after the closing date of the Offering, by giving notice to the holders of the Warrants. In such case, the Warrants would be subject to an expiry date that is 30 days after the date on which such notice is given by the Company (the "Accelerated Expiry Provision").
Taiga has engaged REDPLUG Inc. as its exclusive financial advisor in connection with the Offering. REDPLUG is a registered exempt market dealer specializing in private placements in the junior resource sector, with a primary focus on gold, silver, platinum and palladium. REDPLUG's accredited investor clients are building positions in well-managed, insider-owned, resource companies including prospect generators, advanced explorers, resource developers, and near-term producers.
Taiga has $1,500,000 in lead orders from REDPLUG investors and approximately $500,000 from existing shareholders, including directors and employees. The Company expects to close the Offering on or around Thursday, April 15th.
The gross proceeds of the Offering will be used to advance Taiga's Fisher, Orchid and Mari Lake exploration projects located in Saskatchewan, for exploration expenses that qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada).
Taiga Gold CEO Tim Termuende commented: "Taiga now has six gold projects in Saskatchewan either owned 100% by TGC, or with active joint-venture and option partners. Taiga's flagship property is the Fisher Gold project which borders SSR Mining's Seabee Gold operation, which has produced over 1.2M oz of gold to date. SSR recently made a $3,000,000 cash payment to Taiga to earn-in its 80% interest in the Fisher JV. With these funds, the Company now has a stronger treasury which will provide Taiga with the flexibility to participate in the Fisher JV and to accelerate work to advance its 100%-owned Orchid and Mari Lake projects."
Securities issued in connection with the Offering will be offered by way of private placement in all provinces and territories of Canada, pursuant to applicable exemptions from the prospectus requirements under applicable securities laws. Securities issued in connection with the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period expiring four months and one day after closing of the Offering. Completion of the Offering is subject to approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "Exchange").
A cash finder's fee may be paid to registered dealers in connection with the Offering, subject to compliance with applicable securities legislation and the policies of the Exchange.
