Reunion Gold Announces Completion of $1.7 Million Private Placement

LONGUEUIL, Quebec, March 27, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reunion Gold Corporation (the “Company”) (TSX-V: RGD) is pleased to announce the closing of a non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”) of 13,400,000 units (the “Units”) at a price of $0.13 per Unit for total proceeds of $1,742,000. Each Unit is comprised of one common share of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant.  Each whole common share purchase warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $0.20 during a period of 36 months. All securities issued in connection with the Offering are subject to a four month and one day hold period. The Offering is subject to final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The Company plans to use the funds from the Offering to complete some limited exploration work and maintenance on its projects and for general corporate purposes. The Company will finalize a trenching program at the Aremu North project in Guyana, part of the Strategic Alliance with Barrick Gold Corporation, on targets that have been identified based on the results from an extensive regolith sampling campaign conducted earlier this year, combined with geological mapping and interpretation from a fixed wing magnetic and radiometric survey completed in December 2019. The Company also intends to finalize studies required for the submission of a mining concession application with respect to the Dorlin project in French Guiana. In parallel, the Company will continue to review data on new projects in Guyana and Suriname for potential acquisitions and will be planning the next phases of drilling at the Boulanger project.

Given the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak and the suspension of all international travels, the Company will be suspending field activities on all projects. It has also initiated cost reduction initiatives and plans to continue its review to further reduce its expenditures to preserve cash.
