Rome Resources Announces Closing of Private Placement
Vancouver, February 13, 2023 - Rome Resources Ltd. (TSXV: RMR) (FSE: 33R) ("Rome" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that further to the Company's January 6, 2023 news release, it has closed a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") pursuant to which it has issued 10,000,000 common shares (each, a "Share" and collectively the "Shares") in the capital of the Company at a price of $0.20 per Share to raise aggregate gross proceeds of $2,000,000. The Private Placement is subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. All Shares issued in connection with the Private Placement are restricted from trading until June 11, 2023. Proceeds from the Private Placement will be used for exploration on the Company's Bisie North Tin Project and for working capital.
An insider of the Company participated in the Private Placement and purchased a total of 2,225,000 Shares at $0.20/share for a total investment of $445,000. The participation by such insider is considered a "related-party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company has relied on 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 related party participation in the placement 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 related party, exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101).
The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Private Placement as the date of closing was not previously known.
