The proceeds raised from the Offering will be used by the Company for exploration and development of the Company’s Los Reyes gold and silver property (the “Property”) and for general corporate purposes. On April 2, 2020, the Company announced a measured and indicated in-pit oxide mineral resource for the Property of 19.8 million tonnes containing 633,000 gold ounces at 1.0 gram per tonne and 16,604,000 silver ounces at 26.2 grams per tonne.
The Company also announces it has engaged an arms-length financial advisory firm (the “Advisor”) to assist the Company in various strategic and capital markets initiatives. The Advisor has been engaged for an initial term of twenty-four months. In connection with the engagement, the Advisor has received a one-time fee of 1,200,000 Warrants.
All securities issued in connection with the Offering, and to the Advisor, are subject to a statutory hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities law until October 13, 2020. The Offering included subscriptions from directors and officers of the Company for an aggregate of 2,620,000 Units. The issuance of Units to directors and officers of the Company, pursuant to the Offering, are considered related party transactions within the meaning of TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company relied upon exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of insider participation, as neither the fair market value of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the Offering, insofar as it involves directors and officers of the Company, exceed twenty-five percent of the market capitalization of the Company.
