MONTREAL, March 9, 2017 /CNW/ - ALGOLD RESOURCES
LTD. (TSXV: ALG – the "Corporation") is pleased to announce
that it has amended the terms of its previously announced bought
deal private placement offering of units (the "Units") of
the Corporation. Under the amended terms, Beacon Securities Limited
("Beacon"), on its own behalf and on behalf of a syndicate
of underwriters (collectively, the "Underwriters"), shall
purchase 32,000,000 Units at a price of $0.20 per Unit (the "Issue Price") for
aggregate gross proceeds to the Corporation of $6,400,000 (the "Offering").
Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the
Corporation (a "Common Share") and one half (1/2) of one
common share purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase
warrant, a "Warrant") of the Corporation. Each Warrant will
entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at a price
of $0.30 for a period of 24 months
from the Closing Date (as defined below). The Warrants may be
accelerated by the Corporation, at its sole option, at any time in
the event that the closing volume-weighted average price of the
Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange, or such other exchange
on which the Common Shares may primarily trade from time to time,
is greater than or equal to $0.45 for
a period of 20 consecutive trading days occurring no earlier than
four months and one day from the Closing Date by giving notice to
the holders thereof.
In addition, the Corporation has granted the Underwriters an
option (the "Underwriters' Option"), exercisable, in whole
or in part by Beacon, on behalf of the Underwriters, giving notice
to the Corporation at any time up to 48 hours prior to the Closing
Date to sell up to an additional 3,000,000 Units at the Issue Price
for additional gross proceeds of up to $600,000. In the event the Underwriters' Option
is exercised in full, the aggregate gross proceeds to the
Corporation will be $7,000,000.
The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about
March 30, 2017 (the "Closing
Date") and is subject to the completion of formal documentation
and receipt of regulatory approval, including the approval of the
TSX Venture Exchange. All securities issued in connection with the
Offering will be subject to a four month hold period.
The net proceeds from the Offering will be used to carry out
exploration drilling at the Corporation's mineral properties and
for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The Units to be issued under the Offering will be offered by way
of a private placement in all of the provinces of Canada and may be offered in the United States on a private placement basis
pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the
United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S.
Securities Act").
The securities offered have not been, and will not be,
registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any U.S. state
securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or
benefit of, United States persons
absent registration or any applicable exemption from the
registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable
U.S. state securities laws. This press release does not constitute
an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities
in the United States, nor in any
other jurisdiction.
