VANCOUVER, CANADA – August 9th, 2019: Sitka Gold Corp. (CSE: SIG) (the “Company” or “Sitka”) is pleased to announce that it has completed the first tranche of its non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”) described in its news release dated April 9th, 2019. In connection with the first tranche closing of the Offering, the Company issued 3,848,000 units (the “Units”) at a price of $0.11 per Unit for gross proceeds of $423,280. Each Unit consists of one common share and one-half of one share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant will entitle the holder to purchase an additional common share at a price of $0.16 for a period of two years.
Net proceeds from the financing will be used to conduct drill programs at the Burro Creek Gold and Alpha Gold properties and for general working capital.
In connection with the first tranche of the Offering, the Company agreed to pay commissions of $1,320 and 12,000 broker warrants. Each broker warrant is exercisable to acquire one share in the capital of the Company at an exercise price of $0.16 for two years.
Pursuant to the Private Placement, John Greg Dawson, a director of the Company, acquired 50,000 Units; Donald Penner, President and a director of the Company, acquired 225,000 Units; Corwin Coe, CEO and a director of the Company, acquired 225,000 Units; Ryan Coe, a director of the Company, acquired 320,000 Units; and Peter G. Maclean, a director of the Company, acquired 228,000 Units (together the “Insiders”). The Insiders participation is considered to be “related party transactions” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”). The transactions are exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the securities to be distributed in the Private Placement nor the consideration to be received for those securities, in so far as the Private Placement involves the Insiders, exceeds 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.
The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the private placement as the details of the private placement and the participation therein by related parties of the Company were not settled until shortly prior to closing and the Company wished to close on an expedited basis for sound business reasons and in a timeframe consistent with usual market practices for transactions of this nature.
