VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RESOURCE CAPITAL GOLD CORP. (TSX-V:RCG) ("RCG" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the closing of the second and final tranche of its previously-announced non-brokered private placement financing of units (“Units”) of the Company at an issue price of $0.09 per Unit and units issued on a flow- through basis at a price of $0.10 per flow-through unit (the “FT Units”) (the Units and FT Units collectively, the “Offering”). Each Unit consists of one common share (a “Common Share”) and one half of one common share purchase Warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a “Warrant”). Each FT Unit issued on a flow-through basis consists of one Common Share and one half of one Warrant. Each Warrant is transferable and entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share until March 15, 2020 at a price of C$0.12. 

Further to its press releases dated February 13, 2018 and March 2, 2018, the Company completed the second and final tranche of the Offering through the issuance of 2,333,333 Units and 4,400,000 FT Units at a price of $0.10 per FT Unit, for total aggregate proceeds of C$650,000.02. 

In connection with the second tranche, certain eligible persons (the “Finders”) were paid a cash commission equal to 6% of the proceeds raised from subscribers introduced to the Company by such Finders, and issued finder warrants (the “Finder Warrants”) equal to 6% of the securities purchased by such subscribers. Each Finder Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share for a period of two (2) years from the closing of the Offering at a price of $0.12 per Common Share.

The aggregate gross proceeds raised by the Company pursuant to both tranches of the Offering was $2,850,000.01. 

The gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Units will be used to fund work on the Company’s properties as qualifying Canadian Exploration Expenses as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) which will be renounced to the subscribers with an effective date of December 31, 2018.

The net proceeds from the sale of the Units will be used for advancing the Company’s projects, working capital and general corporate purposes.

Pro group participation in the Offering totaled 2,300,000 FT Units. Closing of the Offering is subject to receipt of all necessary corporate and regulatory approvals, including the approval of TSX Venture Exchange. All securities issued under the Offering are subject to a four-month and one day statutory hold period pursuant to applicable securities legislation.

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 an insider of the Company subscribed for an aggregate of 1,777,778 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(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as the fair market value of the participation in the Offering by the insider 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.

The securities offered have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the “U.S. Securities Act”) or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States of America or to, or for the account or benefit of, United States persons absent registration or any applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in the United States, nor in any other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
