TORONTO, April 02, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amarillo Gold Corp. (“Amarillo” or the “Company”) (TSX.V:AGC) is pleased to announce that, further to its news releases dated March 19, 2018 and March 29, 2018, the Company is preparing for an upcoming final closing of its non-brokered private placement (the “Private Placement”) of units (“Units”). The Company successfully closed the first tranche of the Private Placement on March 29, 2018 when 14,183,333 Units were issued from treasury at a subscription price of $0.28 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $3,971,333. Members of the management team of the Company purchased Units in an aggregate amount of $1 million. Due to continued interest in the Private Placement, the Company expects to have a second and final closing of the Private Placement within the next 10 days or so, subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
Each Unit is comprised of one common share (each, a “Common Share”) and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each, a “Warrant”). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional Common Share at an exercise price of $0.38 for a period of 24 months following the date of issue, subject to customary adjustment provisions.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement for advancing the Company’s mineral exploration and development projects, and for general corporate purposes.
In connection with the Private Placement, the Company may pay a finder’s fee in cash, subject to all necessary regulatory approvals. All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to, among other things, a hold period of four months and one day in accordance with applicable securities laws.
