![Mawson Gold Closes C$5.5 Million Public Offering of Common Shares](https://www.goldseiten.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for (i) advancing exploration and development of the Company's Rompas-Rajapalot project in Finland; and (ii) general corporate purposes, as set out in the final prospectus supplement dated December 2, 2021, to its short form base shelf prospectus dated March 13, 2020.
Mr. Fairhall, CEO, stated: "We are very pleased to be financed for drilling in Finland starting next month targeted to grow the camp scale gold-cobalt system, and to continue our de-risking work programs aimed at unlocking the value embedded in the Rajapalot project. We are thankful for the continued support of existing shareholders, as we welcome new shareholders to the registry."
An insider of the Company participated in the Offering and purchased an aggregate of 500,000 Common Shares. Participation of such insider in the Offering constituted a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), but was exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the securities issued to the insiders nor the consideration paid by the insiders exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization. None of the Company's directors expressed any contrary views or disagreements with respect to the foregoing. The Company did not file a material change report 21 days prior to the closing of the Offering as the details of the participation of the insider of the Company had not been confirmed at that time.
The securities offered have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws.
This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the Common Shares in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of that jurisdiction.
