Colorado Resources Announces Closing of $1.6 Million Private Placement

 

 

 

 

 

COLORADO RESOURCES LTD. (TSX-V: CXO) is pleased to announce that, further to its news releases of February 28, 2020 and March 18, 2020, the Company has closed the non- brokered private placements of 6,929,667 units at an issue price of $0.06 per Unit and 15,793,000 charity flow-through common shares at an issue price of $0.075 per FT Share for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,600,255.

 

Each Unit consisted of one common share in the capital of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to acquire an additional Colorado Share at an exercise price of $0.09 for three years from the date of issuance.

 

No finder’s fee or commission was paid in connection with the placement. The net proceeds from the Placements will be used to fund planned exploration activities as per Colorado’s press release dated February 19, 2020, as well as for working capital purposes. All securities issued in connection with the private placement are subject to a four month hold period.

 

Certain Directors of the Company subscribed directly or indirectly for 1,000,001 Units in the financing.  The transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 in reliance on the exemptions set forth in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the securities to be distributed in the Placements nor the consideration to be received for those securities, in so far as the Placements involves the insiders, exceeds 25% of the market capitalization.  The Board of Directors approved the Placements by resolutions on which the Directors did not vote with respect to their participation in the Placements.

 

The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Placements as the details of the Placements and the participation therein by related parties of the Company were not settled until shortly prior to closing and the Company wished to close on an expedited basis for sound business reasons.

 

Early Warning Disclosure

Newmont Corporation, indirectly through Peartree Securities Inc., acquired 15,793,000  Colorado Shares pursuant to the Placements.
