Firefox Gold Completes $2 Million Non-Brokered Private Placement
VANCOUVER, July 2, 2020 - FireFox Gold Corp. ("FireFox" or the "Company") announces, effective today that, subject to regulatory acceptance, it has completed the second and final tranche of the non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") announced on June 11th, 2020 and upsized on June 25th, 2020. As a result of significant interest in FireFox's projects, the Company created an opportunity to bring on several new shareholders of significant size, resulting in a private placement that has been substantially oversubscribed. In completing the second tranche, FireFox has increased the total gross proceeds of the Private Placement to $2,000,000. In this final tranche, the Company raised gross proceeds of $927,500 by issuing 9,275,000 units of the Company at a purchase price of $0.10 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share of the Company and one half of one common share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant being exercisable to acquire one additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of C$0.12 per share for a term of two years from the date of issuance. The Shares issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be 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 intends to use the proceeds of the Private Placement for general corporate purposes, working capital and exploration activities on FireFox's gold exploration properties in Finland.
M Partners Inc. acted as a finder in this placement. In total, over both tranches the Company will pay to qualified finders $97,300 in cash finder's fees and will issue 973,000 finder's warrants exercisable at $0.10 for 2 years from the date of issuance.
