Goliath Closes Oversubscribed Flow-Through Funding Totaling $14,609,749 With Strategic and Institutional Investors
TORONTO, March 16, 2022 - Goliath Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQB: GOTRF) (FSE: B4IF) (the "Company or "Goliath") is pleased to announce that the second and final tranche of an oversubscribed non-brokered private placement of flow-through units $778,400 has closed for an aggregate total of $14,609,749 inclusive of tranche one with the participation of strategic and institutional investors; inclusive of Crescat Capital LLC ("Crescat"). The flow-through units were sold at $1.19 each.
These funds will be used for a significantly larger 2022 drill campaign from a planned 18,000 meters to ~24,000 meters at its Surebet Zone at its 100% controlled Golddigger property located in the Golden Triangle, BC. The drill campaign planned will include ~85 holes from 24 pads to test the outer extremities of Surebet Zone to determine the potential size of the system as well as the newly discovered adjacent Extension Target to the southeast.
Crescat a strategic investor in Goliath, will have an option to participate in future financings of the Company to maintain its interest as long as it holds greater than 3 percent of the issued and outstanding common shares.
"This financing has put Goliath Resources in an excellent position to undertake an aggressive 2022 diamond drill program at Surebet," commented Dr. Quinton Hennigh, Geologic and Technical Director to Crescat Capital. "This year's program is designed to delineate a very large footprint, 1-1.5M square meters, of the moderately west-dipping Surebet Zone with the aim of generating an initial resource. As seen in the 2021 drilling, true width of this mineralized zone averages around 6 meters and the weighted average grade of drill intercepts is 6.3 gpt AuEq. It is readily apparent this is a big prize and justifies a big drill program. We are very excited to see this next drill program commence in June."
On February 11, 2022, Goliath announced a $11,000,000 non-brokered flow through financing of units priced at $1.19 each ("FT Units") with the involvement of strategic and institutional investors. It subsequently increased the financing on February 22, 2022 and again on March 7, 2022 for up to $14,610,000. Each FT Unit will consist of one flow-through common share plus one warrant to purchase one non-flow through common share at $1.30 for a 24 month period.
The Company will pay finder's fees equal to 7% of the gross proceeds from a portion of the financing in cash, and 7% finders warrants equal to the number of units sold in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. The proposed private placement and finder's fees are subject to TSX Venture Exchange acceptance. All shares issued pursuant to the offering (including shares issued to finders) and any shares issued pursuant to the exercise of warrants will be subject to a four-month hold period from the closing date. The Company paid a total of $461,792 in Finders Fees and 645,710 in Finders Warrants. The warrants have the same terms as the warrants attached to the units sold.
In addition, the Company has granted stock options for a total of 1,455,000 common shares of the Company to board members and consultants. These stock options are exercisable at CDN $1.00 and will all expire on March 17, 2027. All stock options are governed by the terms and conditions of the Company's stock option plan.
