25.10.2021  |  Newsfile
Calgary, Oct. 25, 2021 - 1246779 B.C. Ltd. ("779" or the "Company") and Western Alaska Copper & Gold Company ("WAC&G") are pleased to announce that further to their joint news release dated September 13, 2021, 779 has closed its previously-announced non-brokered private placement offering (the "Offering") of subscription receipts of 779 ("Subscription Receipts") by issuing 6,124,507 Subscription Receipts at a price of $0.85 each, for gross proceeds of approximately $5,205,83. The Offering has been completed in connection with, and as a condition of, the previously announced business combination transaction (the "Proposed Transaction") between 779, WAC&G and WACG Acquisition Co. ("Subco"), which is to occur by way of a plan of merger pursuant to a definitive business combination agreement and will result in the reverse takeover of 779 by WAC&G and the listing of the resulting entity (the "Resulting Issuer") on the TSX Venture Exchange. Upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, the Resulting Issuer will carry on the current business of WAC&G and will qualify as a Tier 1 Mining Issuer pursuant to the policies of the TSXV.

The gross proceeds from the Offering, less any finder's fees paid at closing, are being held in escrow by Odyssey Trust Company ("Odyssey") in accordance with a subscription receipt agreement ("Subscription Receipt Agreement") dated October 22, 2021 among 779, Odyssey and WAC&G, pending satisfaction and/or waiver of certain escrow release conditions, including, among other things: (a) completion or satisfaction or waiver of all conditions-precedent to the Proposed Transaction; and (b) the receipt of all required shareholder and regulatory approvals, as applicable (the "Escrow Release Conditions"). If the Escrow Release Conditions are satisfied on or before November 8, 2021 or on such later date as may be extended pursuant to the Subscription Receipt Agreement (the "Escrow Deadline"), the net proceeds from the sale of the Subscription Receipts will be released from escrow to the Resulting Issuer and each Subscription Receipt will be converted into one post-consolidation common share of 779 without any further action by its holder, and for no additional consideration. If the Proposed Transaction is not completed on or before the Escrow Deadline or is terminated at an earlier time, then the escrowed proceeds (plus accrued interest) for the Subscription Receipts will be returned to the holders on a pro rata basis. The aggregate net proceeds of the Offering will be used to further fund exploration activities on WAC&G's projects in Alaska and for general corporate purposes. Although it is intended that the use of the net proceeds of the Offering will be as described herein, the actual allocation of proceeds may vary from the uses set forth herein, depending on future operations or unforeseen events or opportunities.

Concurrently with the Proposed Transaction, 779 intends to consolidate its issued and outstanding capital on the basis of one post-consolidation common share of 779 for each 2.036 pre-consolidation common share of 779 and to change its name to "Western Alaska Minerals Corp." or such other name as may be agreed to by WAC&G and 779 and accepted by the relevant regulatory authorities.

In connection with the Offering, 779 paid cash finder's fees to certain registrants or eligible persons exempt from registration in respect of the gross proceeds raised from subscribers introduced by such finders or eligible persons.

779 and WAC&G are also pleased to announce that WAC&G has entered into a financial advisory agreement with Agentis Capital Mining Partners, whereunder Agentis will act as financial advisor to WAC&G, and provide advisory services related to, among other things, the Offering and the Proposed Transaction. For its services, Agentis will earn a US$60,000 fee, payable in cash upon closing of the Proposed Transaction.
