Montreal, Canada / TheNewswire / March 21, 2016 - Algold Resources Ltd. (TSXV: ALG - "Algold" or the "Corporation" www.algold.com) is pleased to announce that it intends to complete a non-brokered private placement of a minimum of 30 million units (the "Units") at a price of $0.10 per Unit for minimum aggregate gross proceeds to the Corporation of $3 million (the "Offering"). Each Unit will consist of one common share of Algold (a "Share") and one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire one additional Share at a price of $0.15 for a period of 24 months from the Closing Date.
In connection with the Offering, the Corporation may pay to certain finders a cash commission, as well as issue to them a number of compensation options (the "Compensation Options"), each of which will be non-transferable and entitle the holder to subscribe for one Share at a price of $0.15 for a period of 24 months from the Closing Date.
The Shares, the Warrants, the Compensation Options, and any Shares that may be issued upon exercise of the Warrants or the Compensation Options (collectively, the "Securities") will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the Closing Date, in accordance with applicable securities laws and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange").
The Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to an account for the benefit of U.S. persons, absent such registration or an exemption from registration.
The proceeds of the Offering will be used to carry on work on Algold's mineral properties and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The Offering, which is expected to close this week, remains subject to the final approval of the Exchange.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this press release may be forward-looking. Such statements include those with respect to Corporation's ability to raise funds under the Offering, the closing date of the Offering and the use of the proceeds raised thereunder.
