VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 18, 2021 /CNW/ - HighGold Mining
Inc. (TSXV: HIGH) ("HighGold" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into
an agreement with Cormark Securities Inc. (the "Lead
Underwriter"), on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters
(collectively, the "Underwriters") pursuant to which the
Underwriters have agreed to purchase, on a "bought deal" basis,
6,250,000 common shares (the "Common Shares") from the
treasury of the Company, at a price of $1.60 per Common Share (the "Offering
Price") for total gross proceeds to the Company of
approximately $10 million
(the "Offering").
In addition, the Company has granted the Underwriters an option
(the "Over-Allotment Option") to purchase up to an
additional 15% of the Common Shares of the Offering on the same
terms exercisable at any time up to 30 days following the closing
of the Offering, solely for market stabilization purposes and to
cover over-allotments, if any.
Concurrently with the Offering, the Company intends to undertake
a non-brokered private placement offering of common shares with an
existing strategic investor, a senior gold producer, at the
Offering Price for gross proceeds of approximately $5,000,000 (the "Concurrent Private
Placement") to bring the investor's interest in the Company up
to 9.9% on a post-Offering basis.
The net proceeds of the Offering and the Concurrent Private
Placement are expected to be used for exploration and development
initiatives in connection with the Company's Johnson Tract project
and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The Offering and Concurrent Private Placement are expected to
close on or about October 27, 2021 or
such other date as may be agreed by the Company and Cormark in the
case of the Offering, or by the Company and the strategic investor
in the case of the Concurrent Private Placement and is subject to
certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of
all necessary corporate and regulatory approvals, including the
approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") and
applicable securities regulatory authorities and the execution of a
subscription agreement in connection with the Concurrent Private
Placement. The securities issued in the Concurrent Private
Placement will be subject to a standard four month hold period in
Canada.
The Offering will be qualified by way of a prospectus supplement
(the "Prospectus Supplement") to the Company's existing base
shelf prospectus in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario. The Prospectus Supplement (together
with the related base shelf prospectus) will be available on SEDAR
