VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 23, 2021 / Gold Mountain Mining Corp. ("Gold Mountain" or the "Company") (TSXV:GMTN)(Frankfurt:5XFA) is pleased to announce that it has closed its brokered private placement of units (the "Units") and has issued 10,310,000 Units at a price of $0.97 per Unit (the "Offering Price") for aggregate gross proceeds of $10,000,700 (the "Offering"). The Offering was led by Canaccord Genuity Corp. and Gravitas Securities Inc., as co-lead agents (collectively, the "Agents").
Kevin Smith, CEO & Director of Gold Mountain, commented, "Through successfully completing this offering, we have secured our Equinox property payment and the capital required to advance our exploration and production ambitions. Despite headwinds from a consolidating gold market, this offering was oversubscribed with a lead order from Crescat Capital and orders from our long-term shareholders. With drills turning and a clear path to production, we look forward to continuing to build shareholder value by developing B.C.'s next high-grade gold mine."
Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (a "Common Share") and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant is exercisable to acquire one Common Share (a "Warrant Share") at a price of $1.25 per Warrant Share for a period of 36 months from the closing of the Offering.
Provided that if, at any time prior to the expiry date of the Warrants, the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") is greater than $2.25 for 10 consecutive trading days, the Company may deliver a notice to the holders of Warrants accelerating the expiry date of the Warrants to the date that is 30 days following the date of such notice (the "Accelerated Exercise Period"). Any unexercised Warrants shall automatically expire at the end of the Accelerated Exercise Period.
Gold Mountain intends to use the proceeds from the Offering to advance the Elk Gold Project as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes.
In connection with the Offering, the Agents received an aggregate cash fee equal to 6.0%, other than in connection with certain purchasers on a president's list of Gold Mountain, in which a reduced fee as paid (the "President's List"). In addition, the Company issued to the Agents 270,626 non-transferable broker warrants (the "Broker Warrants") representing 6% of the aggregate number of units issued pursuant to the Offering (other than in respect of sales of Units to purchasers on the President's List, which no Broker Warrants were issued). Each Broker Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price equal to $0.97 for a period of 24 months following the closing of the Offering.
