Sanatana Resources Inc. Closes Final Tranche of $1.2 Million Private Placement
Vancouver, Dec. 17, 2020 - Sanatana Resources Inc. (TSXV: STA) ("Sanatana" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed the second and final tranche of its non-brokered private placement of flow-through units of the Company (the "FT Units") previously announced on December 3, 2020 (the "Private Placement") and, together with the first tranche closing of the Private Placement announced by the Company on December 10, 2020, a total of 4,800,000 FT Units were sold and issued under the Private Placement, for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,200,000. Mr. Peter Miles, CEO, states "With the closing of this financing and the additional funds from the sale of the Watershed Royalty previously announced, Sanatana now has over $5,000,000 on hand. We look forward to our upcoming drill program at our Gold Rush project in Ontario and to further exploration of our projects in the Solomon Islands as soon as travel becomes possible."
In this second tranche, Sanatana issued an aggregate 1,800,000 FT Units, at a price of $0.25 per FT Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of $450,000. Each FT Unit consisted of one flow-through common share (a "FT Share") and one-half of one share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one non-flow-through common share (a "Warrant Share") at a price of $0.35 per Warrant Share until December 17, 2022.
In connection with the Private Placement, Sanatana paid a cash fee of $7,000 and issued 28,000 non-transferable share purchase warrants (the "Finder Warrants") pursuant to the terms of a finder's fee agreement between the Company and a finder. Each Finder Warrant is exercisable for one common share in the capital of the Company (a "Share") at an exercise price $0.35 per Share for a period expiring December 17, 2022.
