![New Carolin Announces Financing Plans, Annual Meeting Of Shareholders And An Exploration Program Update](https://www.goldseiten.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
Based on the advice of numerous financial industry and investor sources consulted in the course of the Company's efforts to secure financing, management has determined that it is in the Company's best interests to consolidate its share capital on a ten old for one new share basis. In fact, from those discussions, management believes it to be a necessary step to secure the financing required to continue the development of its mineral assets. Therefore, the Company is planning to make an offering to raise $1,500,000 by way of the private placements of units ("Units") and flow through common shares ("FT Shares") in its capital stock on a post-consolidated basis and present the necessary corporate resolutions at its upcoming Annual General and Special Meeting of its shareholders. The particulars of each process are as follows:
Financing
The Unit offering will consist of up to 5,000,000 Units at a price of $0.25 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to $1,250,000, each Unit comprised of one post-consolidated common share and one-half of one post-consolidation common share purchase warrant ("Warrant"), each whole Warrant exercisable to purchase one additional post-consolidation common share at a price of $0.50 per share for a period of twenty-four months from closing. Proceeds of the Unit offering will be used for the payment of urgent liabilities, for audit costs and for continued development of the Ladner Gold Project in southwestern British Columbia (see below).
The flow through share offering consists of up to 500,000 flow through common shares (on a post-consolidation basis) of the Company at a price of $0.50 per FT Share for gross proceeds of up to $250,000. Each FT Share is designated as a flow through share pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada). Proceeds from the FT Share offering will be used to fund qualified Canadian Exploration Expenditures (CEE) on the Company's Ladner Gold Project.
Finder fees may be payable on portions of the offerings in accordance with TSX Venture Exchange policy. All securities issued in connection with both offerings are subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus one day from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities legislation.
The Company plans to close on the two offerings by December 31, 2017. However closing is conditional on the Company consolidating its share capital on the ten pre-consolidated common shares for one post-consolidated common share basis referenced above. The shareholders will be asked to approve such a consolidation and the means for a consolidation at the Company's Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders slated for December 15, 2017, referenced below. In the event that no such approval is obtained, the financing will be cancelled.
Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders
The Company is providing notice to its registered shareholders that it will hold it's Annual General and Special Meeting ("AGM") on December 15, 2017. The information circular for the AGM will mail November 20, 2017, and will include certain special resolutions such as that regarding approval of a ten pre-consolidated shares for one post-consolidated share consolidation, as referenced above. Other special items to be considered will be a change to the articles of the Company.
Ladner Gold Project - Work Program Update
At the Company's Ladner Gold Project near Hope, BC, the execution of the planned drill programs was delayed by the late issuance of a 5-year underground exploration permit by the Ministry of Energy and Mines, delays in the Company securing necessary equipment and a long and difficult winter season with over 15 feet of snow falling on the access road and mine site. The site has since been prepped with power, command center, communication systems and ancillary requirements.
Upon completion of the financing as proposed above, the Company expects to be sufficiently funded to execute on the next phase of work, which includes a proposed 20-hole drill program. Pending financing, the Company expects to remobilize in mid-January 2018.
