Roughrider Exploration Limited (TSX-V: REL)  is pleased to announce that it has completed its previously announced non-brokered private placement (see news releases dated July 14, 2020 and July 17, 2020), issuing 9,000,000 units at an issue price of $0.20 per Unit for gross proceeds of $1,800,000. On July 14, 2020, the Company announced the undertaking of a private placement of up to $1,000,000 but due to very strong investor demand, the Company promptly increased this to $1,800,000.

Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company and one-half of one non-transferable common share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant entitling the holder to acquire an additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.30 per share with an expiry date of 24 months after completion of the Offering. If, at any time after the Closing Date, the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange, or other principal exchange on which the common shares are listed, is greater than $0.40 for 10 consecutive trading days, the Company may, at its option, deliver a notice to the holders of the warrants accelerating the Expiry Date to the date that is 30 days following the date of such notice. Concurrent with the giving of such notice, the Company will also issue a press release disclosing the Accelerated Exercise Period. Any unexercised warrants shall automatically expire at the end of the Accelerated Exercise Period.

Finders acting in connection with the Offering received aggregate cash fees of $94,500 and a total of 397,250 finders’ warrants, with the warrants having the same terms as those in the Offering.

Adam Travis, CEO and Director Comments: “We are very pleased to welcome several new shareholders and are grateful for the continued support of many existing shareholders that participated in the financing. Roughrider now looks forward to putting these funds to work.”

The Units, common shares, warrants and finders’ warrants will be subject to applicable resale restrictions including a four month hold period from the date of closing of the Offering under applicable Canadian securities laws. The Offering is subject to final Exchange approval.

The proceeds raised by the Company pursuant to the Offering will be used for working capital purposes and for exploration work on the Company’s mineral properties.
