UrbanGold Mobilizes to Monaco in Urban-Windfall and Closes Financing with Quebec Funds
Ottawa, May 30, 2019 - UrbanGold Minerals Inc. (TSXV: UGM) ("UrbanGold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that field crews have mobilized to its 100% owned Monaco, 17,231.4-hectare property located in the Windfall-Urban area in Quebec to commence exploration work. This program will be run in parallel to the exploration currently ongoing on the StarGold property (See May 23, 2019 UrbanGold press release).
This extensive exploration program is designed to validate eight drill targets identified by surface geophysics completed in 2017 and where anomaloUS Gold Corp. was assayed in till samples. Other targets will be examined including potential lithium bearing pegmatites discovered in 2017. The proposed drill program is scheduled to begin once all targets have been verified by the geological team that is currently on location.
UrbanGold is exploring its two large Urban-Windfall properties concurrently and expanding its profile in the area based on management's experience and technical knowledge of the region.
The Company is also pleased to announce the closing of its non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") announced in its news releases dated May 7, 2019 to raise gross proceeds of $379,460 through the issuance of 3,449,636 units (the "Units") priced at $0.11 per Unit. Each Unit is comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant with an exercise price of $0.16. The warrants have an expiry date of two years from the date of issuance. The funds raised are non-flow through and no finder's fees were paid.
Proceeds of the Private Placement will be used for general working purposes and general advancement of the Company's principal gold properties.
Completion of the Private Placement is subject to regulatory approval including, but not limited to, the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The securities issued are subject to a four month hold period from the date of issuance.
Three insiders of UrbanGold subscribed for an aggregate of 500,000 Units for a total of 14.5% of the Private Placement. As insiders of UrbanGold participated in this Private Placement, it is deemed to be a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101-Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101").
Neither the Company, nor to the knowledge of the Company after reasonable inquiry, a related party, has knowledge of any material information concerning the Company or its securities that has not been generally disclosed.
The Private Placement is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 (pursuant to subsections 5.5(c) and 5.7(1)(b)) as it was a distribution of securities for cash and neither the fair market value of the Units distributed to, nor the consideration received from, interested parties exceeded $2,500,000.
The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Private Placement because the details of the participation therein by related parties of the Company were not settled until shortly prior to closing of the Private Placement and the Company wished to close on an expedited basis for business reasons.
