09.08.2022  |  CNW

/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

TORONTO, Aug. 8, 2022 - Orford Mining Corp. ("Orford" or the "Company") (TSXV: ORM) is pleased to announce that it has closed the non-brokered private placement previously announced in a July 18, 2022 press release for up to $2.4 million. The non-brokered private placement consisted of 15,238,095 million flow-through units at an issue price of C$0.1575 per unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,399,999.96. Each flow through unit consisted of one common share and one-half of a common share purchase warrant. Each whole common share purchase warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share of the Company for a period of two years at an exercise price of $0.13.

Alamos Gold Inc. agreed to indirectly participate in the above financing through the purchase of 7,000,000 non flow-through units by way of a purchase agreement with a third party for aggregate consideration of C$630,000, being $0.09 per unit. Prior to this transaction, Alamos held 34,128,335 Common Shares and 5,801,030 warrants for a security holding percentage (on a partially diluted basis) of 25.74%. Following the foregoing transaction, Alamos will hold 41,128,335 common shares and 9,301,030 Warrants, for a security holding percentage (on a partially diluted basis) of 29.01%, an increase of 3.27%.

Alamos is acquiring the units for investment purposes, which will be evaluated and may be increased or decreased from time to time at Alamos' discretion. A copy of the Alamos Early Warning Report will be available on SEDAR at https://www.sedar.com or can be requested by contacting Scott Parsons, Vice-President, Investor Relations, at SParsons@alamosgold.com , 416-368-9932 (ext 5439) or by mail at Brookfield Place, 181 Bay Street, Suite 3910, Toronto, Ontario M51 2T3.

Orford intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to explore its exploration properties, including the promising Joutel-Eagle property, as well as its Qiqavik and the other Joutel regional properties in Northern Quebec, and for general corporate purposes. The Qiqavik project is currently actively being explored with geophysics, geology, prospecting and 3,000 metres of diamond drilling and Qiqavik represents what Orford believes is a new gold district discovery in the Cape Smith Belt of Northern Quebec. The Joutel-Eagle property in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt of Northern Quebec will be the focus of a fall 2022 and winter 2023 geophysics and drilling program.

Finders received compensation in respect of a portion of the financing consisting of an aggregate of C$31,033.70 in cash and 242,618 non-transferable finder's warrants. Each finder's warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company for a period of two years at an exercise price of C$0.13.

The securities issued under the Offering will be subject to a hold period expiring four months plus a day from the date of closing.

Pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), the purchase of units by Alamos Gold Inc. was a "related party transaction". The transaction is exempt from the MI 61-101 valuation and minority approval requirements for related party transactions in connection with the Company's financing, as the Company is not listed on a stock exchange specified in section 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(b)(i) of MI 61-101, and, under sections 5.5(c) and 5.7(1)(b) of MI 61-101, the transaction is a distribution of securities of the Company to a related party for cash consideration, and neither the fair market value of the securities to be distributed in the transaction nor the fair market value of the consideration to be received for those securities insofar as the transaction involved Alamos Gold Inc. will exceed $2,500,000.
