Castle Peak Announces Non-Brokered Private Placement Financing of up to $500,000
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 10, 2016 / Castle Peak Mining Ltd. (TSXV: CAP) ("Castle Peak" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce the terms of a non-brokered private placement offering units consisting of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant of the Company (the "Offering") to raise gross proceeds of up to $500,000. Under the terms of the Offering, the Company intends to sell up to 16,666,667 units at $0.03 per common unit. The minimum amount of gross proceeds to be raised under the Offering is $300,000 or 10,000,000 units. Each unit will consist of one common share (a "Common Share") and one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.05 for a period of 18 months from the closing date of the Offering.
Assuming the minimum Offering, we expect to use the proceeds for target definition field work on gold anomalies of merit at the Akorade Project, for partial debt repayment, for evaluation of additional transactions and general working capital. If more than the minimum Offering amount is raised, additional funds will be used for proportional debt repayment and general working capital.
A $100,000 portion of the Offering will be allocated for participation of existing shareholders of the Company who held Common Shares as of May 30, 2016 (the "Record Date") and who continue to hold such Common Shares as of the closing date, pursuant to the existing security holders prospectus exemption available under BC Instrument 45-534 -- Exemption from Prospectus Requirements for Certain Trades to Existing Securityholders and equivalent provisions of other applicable securities laws (the "Existing Shareholder Exemption") to residents in such jurisdictions where the use of such exemption is not prohibited. Investors relying on the Existing Shareholder Exemption will be required to represent in writing certain requirements of the Existing Shareholder Exemption, including that they were as of the Record Date and they continue to be as of the closing date a shareholder of the Company. The aggregate acquisition cost to an investor relying on the Existing Shareholder Exemption cannot exceed $15,000, unless that shareholder has obtained advice regarding suitability of the investment from a registered investment dealer in the investor's jurisdiction. The minimum subscription amount for investors relying on the Existing Shareholder Exemption is $2,500. If you are an existing shareholder of the Company as of the Record Date who is interested in participating in the Offering, you should contact the Company by email at info@castlepeakmining.com or by telephone at 604-345-1926. Participation under the Existing Shareholder Exemption will be open until July 8, 2016. If the Company does not receive $100,000 in subscriptions from investors relying on the Existing Shareholder Exemption, then the remainder of that portion of the Offering may be allocated to investors relying on other available exemptions. If the Company receives subscriptions from investors relying on the Existing Shareholder Exemption exceeding $100,000, the Company will fill subscriptions from such investors on a first come, first served basis.
The Company may pay a finder's fee of up to 6% to certain introducing parties on some of the proceeds in respect of the Offering, subject to compliance with applicable securities legislation and TSX Venture Exchange policies. The closing of the Offering may occur in one or more tranches, with the initial closing date of the Offering expected to occur on or about July 8, 2016, subject to receipt of a minimum of $300,000 in subscriptions. Closing is subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the TSX Venture Exchange. The securities issued pursuant to the Offering, including securities issued to investors relying on the Existing Shareholder Exemption, will be subject to a four month hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
The securities being offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States, or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. This press 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 jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
