In connection with the closing of this second tranche of the Offering, the Company paid an aggregate of $9,300 in cash finders’ fees to eligible finders.

 

Net proceeds of the Offering are expected to be used to undertake further drilling at Contact Gold’s Green Springs and Pony Creek gold projects located in Nevada, and for general working capital.

 

Subject to final TSXV approval, the Company expects a third tranche to close on or about May 11, 2020.

 

The offered securities have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold to, or for the account or benefit of, any person in the United States or any “U.S person”, as such term is defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act, absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. Offers and sales in the United States will be limited to institutional accredited investor. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

 

The securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a four month and one day statutory hold period in Canada, and are also deemed to be “restricted securities” under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, which generally requires a one-year hold period.

 

This second tranche of the Offering included subscriptions by several insiders of the Company, including certain officers and directors, for an aggregate of 450,000 Units. Additional subscriptions by insiders are expected in the third tranche of the Offering.

 

Participation in the Offering by the officers and directors was consideration a “Related Party Transaction” under Policy 5.9 of the TSXV, which adopts Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”) as a policy of the TSXV.

About Contact Gold Corp.

 

Contact Gold is an exploration company focused on producing district scale gold discoveries in Nevada. Contact Gold’s extensive land holdings are on the prolific Carlin and Cortez trends, which host numerous gold deposits and mines. Contact Gold’s land position comprises approximately 140 km2 of target rich mineral tenure hosting numerous known gold occurrences, ranging from early- to advanced-exploration and resource definition stage.

 

Green Springs and Pony Creek are early stage exploration properties and do not contain any mineral resource estimates as defined by National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource estimate at Green Springs and Pony Creek. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in targets at either project being delineated as a mineral resource. There are no assurances that the geological similarities to projects mentioned herein (or documents referenced herein) operated by Gold Standard Ventures, Waterton, Fiore Gold or the Nevada Gold Mines Joint Venture, will result in the establishment of any mineral resource estimates at any of the Company’s property interests including Green Springs or Pony Creek, or that the projects can be advanced in a similar timeframe.

 

Additional information about Pony Creek is summarized in the NI 43-101 Technical Report entitled “NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Pony Creek Project, Elko County, Nevada, USA” prepared for Contact Gold, with an effective date of October 16, 2018, and dated October 22, 2018, as prepared by Vance Spalding, C.P.G; VP Exploration of Contact Gold, and can be viewed under Contact Gold’s issuer profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
