NxGold Ltd. Closes $1 Million Private Placement
VANCOUVER, June 16, 2020 - NxGold Ltd. ("NxGold" or the "Company") (TSXV: NXN) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement by issuing 5,000,000 units ("Units") at a price of $0.20 for gross proceeds of $1,000,000 (the "Offering"). Each Unit is comprised of one common share ("Common Share") of the Company and one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common share for a period of two years from the closing of the Offering at a price of $0.30 per Common Share. In connection with the Offering, the Company paid certain eligible persons (the "Finders") a cash commission in total of $17,100, equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering delivered by Finders and issued a total of 85,500 non-transferable broker warrants ("Broker Warrants"), equal to 6.0% of the Units delivered by Finders pursuant to the Offering. Each Broker Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Shares for a period of two years from the closing of the Offering at a price of $0.30 per Common Share. The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for general working capital purposes.
All securities issued under the Offering are subject to a restricted period of four months from the date of issuance. The Offering is subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
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") as certain insiders of the Company subscribed for an aggregate of 950,000 Units pursuant to the Offering. The Company is relying on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as the fair market value of the participation in the Offering by insiders does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report in respect of the related party transaction at least 21 days before the closing of the first tranche of the Offering, which the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances in order to complete the Offering in an expeditious manner.
