The Offering was led by Canaccord Genuity Corp. and Gravitas Securities Inc., as co-lead agents (collectively, the "Agents").
Kevin Smith, CEO & Director of Gold Mountain, commented, "Through successfully completing this offering, we have secured our Equinox property payment and the capital required to advance our exploration and production ambitions.

With drills turning and a clear path to production, we look forward to continuing to build shareholder value by developing B.C.'s next high-grade gold mine."
Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (a "Common Share") and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant is exercisable to acquire one Common Share (a "Warrant Share") at a price of $1.25 per Warrant Share for a period of 36 months from the closing of the Offering.

Any unexercised Warrants shall automatically expire at the end of the Accelerated Exercise Period.
