Goldsource Mines Inc. Closes $12.65 Million Bought Deal Private Placement; Over-Allotment Option Exercised in Full
Vancouver, May 20, 2021 - Goldsource Mines Inc. (TSXV: GXS) ("Goldsource" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of its previously announced bought deal private placement offering, whereby the Company issued a total of 115,000,000 units of the Company ("Units") at a price of $0.11 per Unit for gross proceeds of $12,650,000 (the "Offering"). Each Unit consists of one common share of Goldsource ("Common Share") and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.14 per Common Share until May 20, 2023. The completed Offering includes exercise in full of the Underwriters' (as defined below) over-allotment option to purchase additional Units at $0.11 per Unit. The Offering was led by Cormark Securities Inc., as co-lead underwriter on its own behalf and on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters including Sprott Capital Partners LP as co-lead underwriter (collectively, the "Underwriters"). The Company paid a cash commission equal to 6% (3% for President's list) of the gross proceeds of the Offering and issued 3,307,170 broker warrants ("Broker Warrants") to the Underwriters. Each Broker Warrant is exercisable to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.11 per share until May 20, 2023.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Offering for ongoing exploration and pre-feasibility work at the Company's Eagle Mountain Gold Project in Guyana, working capital and general corporate purposes.
The participation of four insiders in the Offering constituted a "related party transaction", within the meaning of TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). The Company has relied on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of the related party participation in the Offering as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involved the interested party, exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101).
The Common Shares and Warrants issued under the Offering and the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the Broker Warrants are subject to a hold period that expires on September 21, 2021. The Offering is subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
As previously announced, Goldsource will, subject to the approval of the TSXV, complete a share consolidation on the basis of 10 existing Common Shares for one new consolidated common share (the "Consolidation"). Following closing of the Offering, the Company has 522,497,109 issued and outstanding Common Shares. Assuming no additional Common Shares are issued prior to completion of the Consolidation, there will be 52,249,711 Common Shares outstanding on a post Consolidation basis. The Offering was conducted on a pre-Consolidation basis. A further announcement will be made regarding the specific dates and other information relating to the Consolidation once confirmed.
