Compass Gold Announces $1.0 Million Private Placement

18.11.2022  |  GlobeNewswire

TORONTO, Nov. 18, 2022 - Compass Gold Corp. (TSX-V: CVB) ("Compass" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it intends to issue, on a non-brokered private placement basis, approximately 14.3 million common shares of the Company ("Common Shares"), at a price of $0.07 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $1.0 million (the "Offering"). Based on market conditions, the Offering may be increased by approximately 7.17 million Common Shares, for additional gross proceeds of up to $0.5 million, and resulting in aggregate gross proceeds pursuant to the Offering of up to $1.5 million.

Use of Proceeds

The proceeds of the Offering will be used to further advance the Company's ongoing exploration efforts at its Sikasso Property in southern Mali. This work will consist of a 2,600-m program of deeper reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drilling at the Tarabala prospect and 300 m of trenching at Massala. The work is intended to determine the depth extent of the known gold mineralization and help quantify the possible nugget effect seen at other prospects on the property. Expected positive results will be used towards a maiden resource at Tarabala. This drilling and trenching program is planned to be completed within three months of the closing.

Larry Phillips, Compass President and CEO, said, "As we have reported, resampling of previous RC drilling at Moribala and Massala indicates that gold concentrations have likely been under reported, and a similar situation might also be present at Tarabala. The proposed new drilling at Tarabala is aimed at deeper levels of the gold mineralized systems and will involve collecting larger samples to give us the confidence that economic mineralization may exist on the prospect. If the results of this drilling and subsequent cyanide leach assaying are positive, additional infill drilling will be necessary to perform a maiden resource estimation at Tarabala. We are confident that our team will deliver exciting results in the new year."

Dr. Madani Diallo, Compass Director and Country Manager, added, "The technical evidence is strong that there is far more gold at Tarabala and Massala than we've been able to report thus far. I am convinced that this is due to the significant nugget effect (coarse gold) there. I expect that this modest next exploration program will further underline the true prospectivity of this entire area."

Additional details concerning the Offering

All securities issuable pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day after the date of issuance.

It is anticipated that the closing of the Offering will occur on or prior to December 15, 2022. Closing of this Offering is subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The Company anticipates that certain officers and/or directors of the Company may participate in the Offering. Participation by insiders in the Offering will be exempt from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") by virtue of the exemptions contained in Sections 5.5(a) and (b), and 5.7(1)(a), respectively, of MI 61-101.

Further, subject to compliance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange and applicable securities legislation, the Company may pay a finder's fee to certain registered dealers in connection with the Offering comprised of: (i) a cash fee equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds received from the sale of Common Shares sold to purchasers introduced to the Company by the finder, and (ii) warrants exercisable for a period of two years from the date of issuance to acquire that number of Common Shares, at a purchase price of $0.07 per share, equal to 6.0% of the number of Common Shares sold to purchasers introduced to the Company by the finder.
