Toronto, Ontario (FSCwire) - California Gold Mining Inc. (“California Gold” or the “Company”) announces today that it has completed the second tranche of the previously announced non-brokered private placement of units (the “Offering”).
In the second tranche, the Company raised gross proceeds of $738,000 from the issuance of 1,135,385 units. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable into one common share of the Company for a period of 36 months from the date of issue at an exercise price of $1.00.
Insiders subscribed for a total of 1,076,923 Units as part of the second tranche of the Offering. Following completion of the second tranche of the Offering, R.W. Tomlinson Ltd. now exercises control over 9,682,637 common shares and 9,144,176 common share purchase warrants of the Company, representing 30.1% of the Company’s outstanding common shares on an undiluted basis and 33.4% of the Company’s common shares on a fully diluted basis.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to initiate work on a property-wide exploration program at its Fremont Project comprising of a soil geochemistry survey, a ground IP geophysical survey and exploratory drilling; and for other general corporate purposes.
The securities issued today as part of the second tranche of the Offering are subject to a four month hold period that will expire on February 22, 2017.
As noted, related parties of the Company have acquired shares and warrants under the Offering. Such participation is considered a "related party transaction" within the meaning of the TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). The Company relied on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 in respect of related party participation as at the time the transaction was agreed to, neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involved interested parties, exceeded 25 per cent of the Company's market capitalization.
The material change report to be filed in connection with the Offering will be filed less than 21 days prior to the closing of the Offering. The shorter period was necessary in order to permit the Company to close the Offering in a timeframe consistent with usual market practice for transactions of this nature.
