Not for distribution to United States newswire services or for dissemination in the United States

ROUYN-NORANDA, Quebec, July 24, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSX-V: RDS, OTC: RMRDF) (“Radisson” or the “Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters led by Laurentian Bank Securities Inc. and Clarus Securities Inc., as co-bookrunner and co-lead underwriters (together the “Underwriters”) pursuant to which the Underwriters have agreed to purchase, with a right to find substitute purchasers, $4 million of securities of the Company on a bought-deal private placement basis (the “Offering”). The Offering consists of a minimum of $2 million of units of the Company (the “Hard Units”) at a price of $0.15 per Hard Unit and the remaining balance from the sale of Class A shares of the Company that qualify as “flow-through Class A shares” in any combination of: (i) up to a maximum of $500,000 of Federal flow-through Class A shares of the Company (the “Federal FT Shares”) at a price of $0.165 per Federal FT Share, and (ii)  Quebec flow-through Class A shares of the Company (the “Quebec FT Shares”, at a price of $0.21 per Quebec FT Share (together with the Federal FT Shares, the “FT Shares”)).

Each Hard Unit will consist of one Class A share of the Company and one-half of a Class A share purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one additional Class A share of the Company for a period of 24 months from the closing of the Offering (the “Closing”) at a price of $0.21.

The Company has also granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional $600,000 of Hard Units and/or FT Shares, in such proportion as the underwriters may determine (subject that the aggregate amount of Federal FT Shares sold pursuant to the Offering shall not exceed $500,000), exercisable at any time until 48 hours prior to Closing, to cover over-allotments, if any.

The net proceeds from the sale of the Hard Units will be used to fund the exploration and development of the 100% owned O’Brien Gold project and for general corporate and working capital purposes. The gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the FT Shares will be used to incur Canadian Exploration Expenses (“CEE”) that are “flow-through mining expenditures” (as such terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)) on the O’Brien gold project in the Province of Québec, which will be renounced to the subscribers with an effective date no later than December 31, 2019, in the aggregate amount of not less than the total amount of the gross proceeds raised from the issue of FT Shares.  For purchasers of Québec FT Shares resident in the Province of Québec, 10% of the amount of CEE will be eligible for inclusion in the deductible “exploration base relating to certain Québec exploration expenses” and 10% of the amount of the expenses will be eligible for inclusion in the deductible “exploration base relating to certain Québec surface mining exploration expenses” (as such terms are defined in the Taxation Act (Québec), respectively) giving rise to an additional 20% deduction for Québec tax purposes.

The Hard Units and FT Shares shall be distributed in Canada pursuant to private placement exemptions in each of the provinces of Canada, and the Hard Units shall be distributed in the United States on a private placement basis pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements pursuant to Rule 144A of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in a manner that does not require the Hard Units to be registered in the United States. The Hard Units may also be sold in such other international jurisdictions as the Company and the Underwriter may agree.

The Offering is scheduled to close on or about August 23, 2019 and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals including that of the TSX Venture Exchange.
