TORONTO, Sept. 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Q-Gold Resources Ltd (TSXV: QGR, OTC: QGLDF, FRA: QX9G) (“Q-Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed the first tranche of its previously announced C$500,000 non-brokered financing (the “Offering”) for gross proceeds of C$250,000 (the “First Tranche”). Closing of the First Tranche and the Offering is subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The proceeds of the First Tranche will be to fund the exploration work at the Surupana Property, as well as for general corporate and working capital purposes.

Pursuant to the First Tranche, the Company issued 1,666,667 units of the Company (each a “Unit” and collectively, the “Units”) at a price of C$0.15 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one common share of the Company (a “Common Share”) at an exercise price of C$0.20 for a period of 18 months following the closing date of the First Tranche.

All securities issued under the First Tranche are subject to a statutory hold period ending on January 29, 2022.

The closing of the First Tranche constitutes a “related party transaction” within the meaning of TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61‑101 ‑Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61‑101”) adopted in the Policy as the subscriber held over 10% of the Common Shares. The Company has relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61‑101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61‑101 in respect of related party participation in the placement as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involved the related parties, exceeded 25% of the Company’s market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101). Further details will be included in a material change report to be filed by the Company. The material change report will not be filed more than 21 days prior to closing of the placement due to the timing of the announcement of the private placement and closing of the Offering.
