TORONTO, Oct. 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Galantas Gold Corporation (TSX-V & AIM: GAL; OTCQX: GALKF) ("Galantas" or the "Company") is providing an update on the Company's private placement of units of the Company ("Units") as announced by way of news release on August 8, 2022, August 11, 2022 and August 30, 2022. The Company wishes to correct its disclosure to clarify that a portion of the closing of such private placement represented "Shares for Services" under TSX Venture Exchange Policy 4.3.
Pursuant to the private placement, on August 30, 2022, the Company sold an aggregate of (i) 12,604,452 Units at a price of C$0.45 per Unit (the "Offering Price") on a "best efforts" brokered private placement basis (the "Brokered Offering") for gross proceeds of C$5,672,003.40 and (ii) 506,667 Units at the Offering Price on a non-brokered private placement basis (together with the Brokered Offering, the "Offering") for gross proceeds of C$228,000.15, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately C$5.9 million, including full exercise of the agents' option. The balance of 2,222,222 Units were sold to QME Mining Services (NI) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Quarry & Mining Equipment Limited, a third-party service provider on the same terms as the Brokered Offering. The aggregate subscription price for such Units, being $999,999.90, was offset against certain fees payable to the third-party service provider by the Company pursuant to a service agreement between the third-party service provider and the Company dated August 30, 2022 (the "Shares for Services Arrangement"), for the underground development towards the Joshua Vein at the Omagh Gold Project. On September 15, 2022, the Company announced the engagement of QME for this work.
The securities issued under the Offering and the Shares for Services Arrangement are subject to a four-month hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws which will expire on December 31, 2022. The Offering and the Shares for Services Arrangement are subject to final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The securities offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities law, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from such registration requirements. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
In all other respects, the information contained in the Company's news release of August 30, 2022 remains the same.
The Company also reports SP Angel Corporate Finance LLP is now the Company’s sole AIM broker.
Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
