Emgold Mining Provides Update on Flow-Through and Non-Flow-Through Private Placements
Vancouver, June 5, 2018 - Emgold Mining Corp. (TSX-V: EMR) ("Emgold" or the "Company") announces that, due to the increase in the Company's stock price since its May 22, 2018 press release, the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") has requested the Company increase the share price of its recently announced Non-Flow-Through Financing, as defined below. There is no change to the Flow-Through Financing announced on the same date. Terms of the two private placements are outlined below. About the Non-Flow-Through Financing
Subject to Exchange approval, Emgold proposes to carry out a non-brokered non-flow-through hard cash private placement of up to 12,500,000 units (the " Units") of the Company at CDN$0.12 per Unit to raise up to CDN$1.5 million. Each Unit will consist of one common share (each a "Share") of the Company and one non-transferable share purchase warrant (each a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase, for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance, one additional Share at a price of CDN$0.17 per Share (the "Non-Flow-Through Financing"). The Shares issued in connection with the Non-Flow-Through Financing, including any issued on the exercise of the Warrants, will be subject to a minimum hold period of four months. Finder's fees, in cash or securities, or a combination thereof, may be payable in connection with some or all of the offering in accordance with Exchange policies. The proceeds of the Non-Flow-Through Financing will be used for general working capital purposes.
About the Flow-Through Financing
Subject to Exchange approval, Emgold proposes to carry out a non-brokered flow-through private placement of up to 6,666,667 units ("FT Units") of the Company issued at a price of CDN$0.15 per Unit to raise up to CDN$1.0 million. Each FT Unit will consist of one common share issued as a flow-though share (a "FT Share") of the Company and one half (1/2) non-transferable share purchase warrant (a "FT Warrant"). Each full FT Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase, for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance, one additional Share at a price of CDN$0.25 per Share (the "Flow-Through Financing"). The FT Shares issued in connection with this Flow-Through Financing, including the Shares issued on the exercise of the FT Warrants, will be subject to a minimum hold period of four months. Finder's fees, in cash or securities, or a combination thereof, may be payable in connection with some or all of the Flow-Through Financing in accordance with Exchange policies. The FT Shares will entitle the holder to receive the applicable tax benefits, in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada). Proceeds of the Flow-Through Financing will be used for qualifying exploration at Troilus North Property and the Company's other B.C. properties.
Troilus North and Golden Arrow Acquisitions
On May 22, 2018, Emgold announced that it has executed a letter of intent (the "Troilus North LOI") to enter into a definitive option, earn-in, and joint venture agreement with Chimata Gold Corporation ("Chimata"; TSX-V: CAT) giving Emgold the right to acquire up to a 100% interest in the Trolius North Property located in Quebec (the "Troilus North Property"). The Troilus North Property is an early stage exploration property located adjacent to the former Troilus Mine, recently acquired by Troilus Gold Corp. ("Troilus Gold"; TSX-V TLG).
On January 4, 2018, Emgold announced that it had executed an amended letter of intent (the "Golden Arrow Amended LOI") to acquire an immediate interest 51% interest in the Golden Arrow gold-silver property in Nevada (the "Golden Arrow Property") from Nevada Sunrise Gold Corp. ("Nevada Sunrise"; TSX-V NEV); together with a first option to acquire an additional 29% interest followed a second option to acquire the final 20% interest in the Golden Arrow Property.
Both acquisitions with respect to the Troilus North Property or the Golden Arrow Property (collectively each a "Transaction") are subject to Exchange approval. Should a "Change of Control" result from either Transaction as defined by Exchange Policy 1.3, Emgold would seek approval of such Transaction by a vote of shareholders.
