Liberty Gold Raises C$15.8 Million Through a Bought Deal Financing Including Full Exercise of the Over-Allotment Option

VANCOUVER, Sept. 10, 2019 - Liberty Gold Corp. (LGD-TSX) (“Liberty Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced bought deal financing for aggregate gross proceeds of C$15,840,000 (the “Offering”).

A syndicate of underwriters led by Sprott Capital Partners and including Haywood Securities Inc., National Bank Financial Inc. and BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. (collectively, the “Underwriters”) purchased, on a bought deal basis, 28,800,000 common shares of the Company (the “Common Shares”), inclusive of 4,800,000 Common Shares issued upon exercise of the Underwriters’ over-allotment option, at a price of C$0.55 per Common Share (the “Issue Price”) for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of C$15,840,000.

The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to fund exploration and development of Liberty Gold’s southwest United States gold and precious metal exploration portfolio, primarily focused on accelerating exploration and resource growth at the Black Pine project in Southern Idaho.

Proceeds will be used to continue aggressively drilling the project and expanding the footprint of this large gold system. In addition, the company plans to immediately add a third drill to the project for phase 1 metallurgical testing in advance of a proposed 4 drill definition drill program in 2020. Metallurgical results would be anticipated near the end of Q1 2020, followed by an initial resource estimate and advancement to an economic study by year end.

The Common Shares issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a four month and one day hold period expiring on January 11, 2020.
