VANCOUVER, Nov. 26, 2013 /CNW/ - Corvus Gold Inc. ("Corvus" or the "Company") - (TSX: KOR, OTCQX: CORVF) announces the closing of a CAD $5,230,000 non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") on November 26, 2013. Under the terms of the Offering, the Company issued 5,230,000 common shares at a price of CAD $1.00 per share, which represents a 15% discount to the 5-day volume weighted average price from October 29 through November 4, 2013 of CAD $1.18.
Insider participants in Offering, which did not include the issuance of any warrants, include: Tocqueville Asset Management L.P. (1,000,000 shares); AngloGold Ashanti (USA) Exploration Inc. (3,000,000 shares); and Corvus management & directors (385,000 shares) including Jeffrey Pontius, Dr. Russell Myers, Catherine Gignac, Steve Aaker, Quentin Mai, Peggy Wu and Lawrence Talbot. Full insider transaction details can be found on SEDI (www.sedi.ca). Corvus now has approximately CAD $8M in working capital as at the closing of the Offering.
Jeff Pontius, Corvus CEO, stated, "The closing of this strategic financing on terms that minimize shareholder dilution in a challenging market highlights the confidence and commitment of our major shareholders. It is also exciting to have Euro Pacific Gold Fund and Peter Schiff join the Corvus shareholder group with their insightful view on our sector. Management firmly believes that an integral part of maximizing the upside potential of the North Bullfrog project is the continued drilling and expansion of our newly discovered Yellowjacket high-grade gold-silver system. The impact of the results from this high-grade gold and silver system on the existing global project resource and preliminary economic assessment ("PAE") should be apparent in the updated resource estimate and PEA scheduled for release following the end of the 2013 drill season in Q1 2014. As a result of this financing, Corvus will be able to continue with an aggressive drill program at Yellowjacket and other high-grade targets as well as proceed towards initial permitting work next year."
The Company paid a finder's fee to each of Euro Pacific Capital, Inc. and Scarsdale Equities LLC in the amounts of $8,500 and $12,500, respectively, in connection with the portion of the Offering raised through such firms. The finder's fee is equal to 5% of the gross proceeds raised from investors introduced to the Company by such firms. All common shares issued in the Offering have a hold period in Canada of four months from the closing of the Offering. In addition, all common shares issued in the Offering are subject to resale restrictions under U.S. federal and state securities laws.
The Company has determined that there are exemptions available from the various requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 for the issuance of the common shares in the Offering to insiders. There is no change of control, and no new insiders have been created, as a result of the Offering.
The common shares issued in the Offering have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") or any applicable state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the 1933 Act) or persons in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the foregoing securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
On behalf of
CORVUS GOLD INC.
