THIS NEWS RELEASE IS INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION IN CANADA ONLY AND IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
TORONTO, June 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Further to its news releases dated May 29, 2025, June 2, 2025, and June 9, 2025, Goliath Resources Limited (TSXV:GOT) (OTCQB:GOTRF) (Frankfurt: B4IF) (the "Company" or "Goliath") is pleased to announce that it has closed its "bought deal" private placement of 7,256,500 common shares of the Company (the "Charity Flow-Through Shares") at a price of C$3.17 per Charity Flow-Through Share for aggregate gross proceeds of C$23,003,103, including the exercise in full of the over-allotment option granted to the Underwriters (as defined herein) (the "Offering").
The Company's previously announced concurrent non-brokered private placement of up to 1,281,545 Charity Flow-Through Shares at a price of C$3.17 per Charity Flow-Through Share for aggregate gross proceeds of up to C$4,062,500 (the "Concurrent Offering") is expected to be completed shortly. The Charity Flow-Through Shares issued pursuant to the Concurrent Offering will be subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance.
The Offering was led by Stifel Nicolaus Canada Inc., in its capacity as lead underwriter and sole bookrunner, on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters that included CIBC World Markets Inc. and Cormark Securities Inc. (collectively, the "Underwriters"). In consideration for services provided by the Underwriters in connection with the Offering, the Underwriters received compensation consisting of: (i) a cash commission equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds raised under the Offering; and (ii) an aggregate 435,390 common share purchase warrants of the Company (the "Broker Warrants"), representing 6% of the number of Charity Flow-Through Shares sold under the Offering. Each Broker Warrant is exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of C$2.12 per common share until June 16, 2027. For the avoidance of doubt, the cash commission was paid by the Company using existing cash on hand and not the gross proceeds of the Offering.
As previously disclosed, the Company intends to use the gross proceeds of the Offering to advance the exploration of the Company's flagship Golddigger-Surebet Project. The proceeds from the sale of the Charity Flow-Through Shares will be used to incur exploration expenses that qualify as "Canadian exploration expenses" as defined in subsection 66.1(6) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act"), "flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures" as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Tax Act for purposes of the critical mineral exploration tax credit, and for individual subscribers resident in British Columbia, "BC flow-through mining expenditures" as defined in subsection 4.721(1) of the Income Tax Act (British Columbia). Such expenses will be incurred on or before December 31, 2026, and renounced to the subscribers with an effective date no later than December 31, 2025. The "BC mining flow-through share tax credit" allows individual residents of British Columbia who invest in flow-through shares to claim a provincial non-refundable tax credit in an amount equal to 20% of such subscriber's "BC flow-through mining expenditures".
All Charity Flow-Through Shares were issued pursuant to the "listed issuer financing" exemption from the prospectus requirement under Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions and Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 – Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption of the Canadian Securities Administrators (the "LIFE Exemption") and are not subject to a statutory hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. The Broker Warrants were issued pursuant to an exemption from the prospectus requirement other than the LIFE Exemption and, accordingly, the Broker Warrants (and the shares issuable upon exercise thereof) are subject to a statutory hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws expiring on October 17, 2025. The Offering remains subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange").
This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of any of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful, including any of the securities in the United States. The securities described herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for account or benefit of, U.S. Persons (as defined in Regulation S under the 1933 Act) unless registered under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, or an exemption from such registration requirements is available.
