For the second year of the term of the Debentures, interest will be paid in arrears in cash on the earlier of the conversion date and the Maturity Date for interest accrued during the second year. The principal amount of the Debentures may, at the election of the holders and at any time prior to the Maturity Date, be converted into common shares in the capital of the Company (the "Conversion Shares") at a conversion price of $0.85 per Conversion Share. The Debentures will be offered pursuant to one or more prospectus exemptions set out in National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus Exemptions. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for development expenditures on the Vila Nova gold project located in the State of Amapa, Brazil and for general working capital purposes.
Closing of the Offering is expected to occur in one or more tranches, with the first tranche expected to close on or about August 24, 2022. Insiders of the Company may participate in the Offering. The Company may pay participating registered dealers finder's fees in connection with the Offering comprised of cash or securities of the Company, or a combination thereof, as permitted by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange").
The Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, receipt of Exchange approval. The Debentures, and any Conversion Shares issuable upon the conversion thereof, will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance.
The Company also announces that it has elected to relinquish and allowed to expire four (4) mineral claims totaling 2,000 hectares on the Teddy Glacier property located 40km southeast of Revelstoke, B.C.
