Vancouver, December 15, 2020 – MAS Gold Corp. (“MAS Gold” – TSX-V:MAS) is pleased to announce that, due to strong investor demand, it has decided to increase the size of the previously announced non-brokered private placement to gross proceeds of up to $2,900,000 (the “Offering”) in a combination of: (i) units of MAS Gold (the “Units”) at a price of $0.06 per Unit, and (ii) flow-through units of MAS Gold (the “FT Units”) at a price of $0.07 per FT Unit.
Each Unit will be comprised of one common share of MAS Gold (a “Common Share”) and one Common Share purchase warrant (each, a “Warrant”). Each FT Unit shall consist of one “flow-through” common share of MAS Gold (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (each, a “FT Common Share“) and half a Warrant. Each full Warrant shall be exercisable to acquire one Common Share (a “Warrant Share”) at a price of $0.10 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months from the closing of the Offering.
MAS Gold intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to establish an economically viable resource by combining ounces from the portfolio properties located in the highly prospective area of La Ronge Gold Belt. MAS Gold plans to conduct drill programs on its North Lake and Greywacke properties to upgrade the resources classification and test the resource extension. MAS Gold also intends to complete further definition drilling, surface geological mapping and other explorations work in its properties, including the Point Deposit and Joe Prospect properties. A portion of the proceeds will be used for working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes.
The net proceeds received by MAS Gold from the sale of the FT Units will be used to incur eligible “Canadian exploration expenses” (“CEE”) that are “flow-through mining expenditures” (as such term is defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)). MAS Gold will renounce such CEE to the purchasers of the FT Units with an effective date of no later than December 31, 2020.
The Units and FT Units to be issued under the Offering will be offered by way of private placement in each of the provinces of Canada, and such other jurisdictions as may be determined by MAS Gold, in each case, pursuant to applicable exemptions from the prospectus requirements under applicable securities laws.
The Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Units, FT Units, and the underlying securities comprising of the Units and FT Units, to be issued under the Offering will have a hold period of four months and one day from Closing. MAS Gold may pay finder’s fees on a portion of the Offering in accordance with applicable securities laws and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.
MAS Gold advises that the insiders of MAS Gold may participate in the financing, which will be completed pursuant to available related party exemptions under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions.
