Galleon Gold Closes the First Tranche of a $7.5M Oversubscribed Private Placement of Convertible Debentures

 

 

 

 

 

Galleon Gold Corp. (TSX-V: GGO) (FSE: 3H90) is pleased to announce that it has closed the first tranche of its non-brokered private placement offering of convertible debentures previously announced on July 2, 2025 and July 7, 2025. The Company has issued 130 convertible debentures for gross proceeds of $6,500,000. The remaining subscription of $1,000,000 is expected to close shortly.

 

Comment from the CEO

 

David Russell, CEO and President of Galleon Gold comments, “We would like to welcome our new investors and thank the current shareholders who also participated in the Offering, including Eric Sprott and Michael Gentile. We look forward to providing updates on the West Cache bulk sample program as we start the surface development.”

 

The Offering

 

The Debentures have a term of 36 months from the date of issuance, bear interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum payable in cash or Common Shares at the option of the investor at the end of the Term. The Debentures are convertible into common shares of the Company at $0.30 per share.

 

At any time during the Term, each holder of Debentures may elect to convert any portion of the principal amount of the Debentures into Common Shares at the Conversion Price. If an investor exercises the Debentures prior to the end of the Term the accrued interest to that date will be payable in Common Shares and the price will be based on the higher of the average closing price of the last 20 trading days or the closing market price.

 

Eric Sprott, through 2176423 Ontario Ltd., a corporation which is beneficially owned by him, and an insider of the Corporation, acquired 20 Debentures for $1,000,000 and an officer of the Company also acquired 2 Debentures under the Offering for $100,000. The participation of the insiders in the Offering constituted “related party transactions” for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. The Company is relying on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 in connection with the insider participation contained in sections 5.5 (a) and 5.7 (1) (a) of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the securities issued to the related parties, nor the fair market value of the consideration for the securities issued exceeds 25% of the Company’s market capitalization as calculated in accordance with MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report containing all of the disclosure required by MI 61-101 more than 21 days before the expected closing date of the Offering as the aforementioned insider participation had not been confirmed at that time and the Company wished to close the Offering as expeditiously as possible.

 

Finders’ fees consisting of a cash commission of $369,000 and 1,230,000 non-transferrable finders’ warrants have been paid in connection with this closing of the Offering. Each finder warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at $0.36 per share over a two (2) year period.

 

The Company intends to use the proceeds raised from the Offering for the exploration and advancement of the Company’s West Cache Gold Project in Timmins, Ontario and for general working capital purposes.

 

The Debentures, Finder’s Warrants, if applicable, the underlying Common Shares, will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date of closing in accordance with applicable securities laws. The Offering is subject to the final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.

 

This news release does not constitute an offer of securities for sale in the United States. The securities being offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and such securities may not be offered or sold within the United States absent U.S. registration or an applicable exemption from U.S. registration requirements.
