June 21, 2024 – TheNewswire - Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada – JZR Gold Inc. (TSXV: JZR) (OTCQB: JZRIF) (the “Company” or “JZR”) announces that it intends to undertake a non-brokered private placement offering of convertible debentures (the “Debentures”) to raise gross proceeds of up to $1,500,000 (the “Offering”). The principal sum of each Debenture will be $1,000. The Debentures will bear interest at a simple rate of ten percent (10%) per annum and will mature on the date that is one (1) year from the date of issuance (the “Maturity Date”). The principal amount of the Debentures may, at the election of the holders and at any time prior to the Maturity Date, be converted into units of the Company (the “Conversion Units”) at a conversion price of $0.20 per Conversion Unit. Each Conversion Unit shall be comprised of one common share (each, a “Conversion Share”) in the capital of the Company and one share purchase warrants (each, a “Conversion Warrant”). Each Conversion Warrant shall entitle the holder to acquire one Conversion Share at a price of $0.25 per Conversion Share for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the date of issuance. The Debentures, Conversion Units, Conversion Shares, Conversion Warrants, Conversion Warrant Shares are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities”.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for development expenditures on the Vila Nova gold project located in the State of Amapa, Brazil and for general working capital purposes.

The Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, receipt of TSX Venture Exchange (“Exchange”) approval. The Debentures, and any Conversion Shares issuable upon the conversion thereof, will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance. Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about July 20, 2024.

In connection with the Offering, the Company may pay a finder’s fee, in cash, to registered persons in an amount equal to 6% of the gross proceeds raised from persons introduced by the finder.

The Debentures will be offered pursuant to one or more prospectus exemptions set out under applicable securities laws and instruments, including National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions. The Offering will also be made available to existing shareholders of the Company who, as of the close of business on June 18, 2024, held common shares (and who continue to hold such common shares as of the closing date), pursuant to the existing shareholder exemption set out in BC Instrument 45-534 Exemption From Prospectus Requirement for Certain Trades to Existing Security Holders (the “Existing Securityholder Exemption”). The Existing Securityholder Exemption limits a shareholder to a maximum investment of CAD$15,000 in a 12-month period unless the shareholder has obtained advice regarding the suitability of the investment and, if the shareholder is resident in a jurisdiction of Canada, that advice has been obtained from a person that is registered as an investment dealer in the jurisdiction. If the Company receives subscriptions from investors relying on the Existing Shareholder Exemption which exceeds the maximum amount of the Offering, the Company intends to adjust the subscriptions received on a pro-rata basis.

Certain Insiders (as such term is defined under the policies of the Exchange) of the Company may participate in the Offering. Any participation of Insiders in the Offering will constitute a “related party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). It is anticipated that the Company will be able to rely on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements provided under subsections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI 61-101 on the basis that participation in the Offering by Insiders will not exceed 25% of the fair market value of the Company’s market capitalization.
