SUDBURY, Ontario, Sept. 15, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Manitou Gold Inc. (TSXV: MTU) (the “Company” or “Manitou”) is pleased to announce that it proposes to complete a non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”) to raise aggregate gross proceeds of up to $5 million.

The Offering will be comprised of a combination of (i) units (“Hard Units”) at a price of $0.06 per Hard Unit, and (ii) “flow-through” common shares of the Company (“FT Shares”) at a price of $0.09 per FT Share. Each Hard Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.12 until the date which is two years from the closing date of the Offering. 

Manitou has agreed to pay eligible finders assisting in the Offering (i) a cash fee equal to 7% of the gross proceeds raised by such finders, and (ii) such number of broker warrants (“Broker Warrants”) as is equal to 7% of the total number of Hard Units and FT Shares sold by such finders, excluding those sold to President’s List subscribers. Each Broker Warrant shall be exercisable to acquire one Hard Unit at an exercise price of $0.06 for a period of two years following the date of issuance thereof.

Proceeds from the Offering will be used for continued exploration and general corporate purposes. An amount equal to the gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Shares will be used for expenditures which qualify as Canadian exploration expenses (“CEE”) and “flow-through mining expenditures” (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada)). The Company will renounce such CEE with an effective date of no later than December 31, 2020.

Insiders of Manitou may participate in the Offering, with such participation not expected to exceed 10% of the Offering, unless those insiders with participation rights exercise such rights to maintain their respective pro rata interests in the Company. The Offering remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
