/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION OR DISSEMINATION DIRECTLY, OR INDIRECTLY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES/
TORONTO, July 10, 2019 /CNW/ - Anaconda Mining Inc. ("Anaconda" or the "Company") (TSX: ANX) (OTCQX: ANXGF) is pleased to announce that it has completed a non-brokered private placement consisting of 7,515,701 "flow-through" units of the Company (the "FT Units") at a price of $0.35 per FT Unit, and 7,630,185 units of the Company (the "Units") at a price of $0.27 per Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $4,690,646 (the "Offering"). Each FT Unit will consist of one common share, which qualify as "flow-through shares" within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada), and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Unit will consist of one common share and one-half of one Warrant. Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one common share of the Company (a "Warrant Share") at a price of $0.45 for a period of 18 months following the closing date of the Offering. The Warrants will contain an acceleration clause whereby if the common shares of Anaconda trade at a volume weighted average price of $0.70 or more for 20 consecutive trading days, Anaconda will have the right to accelerate the exercise period to a period ending at least 30 days from the date that notice of such acceleration is provided to the holders of the Warrants.
"We are pleased with the level of interest in the private placement, which led to us upsizing the financing from the original announcement. The proceeds from the Offering will allow us to commence work at our recently expanded, highly prospective Tilt Cove Project, and continue advancing the high-grade Goldboro Gold Project, both from the perspective of working towards expanding and upgrading the mineral resource and advancing the project towards a construction decision. We will also continue exploration around our existing mine operations and invest in our operational infrastructure."
~ Kevin Bullock, Chief Executive Officer
In connection with the Offering, the Company paid a cash finder's fee and issued 264,600 non-transferable finder warrants. Each finder warrant is exercisable for one common share of the Company at a price of $0.45 for a period of 18 months following the closing date of the Offering, subject to the same acceleration as provided for in the Warrants.
It is expected that the gross proceeds from the FT Unit portion of the Offering will be primarily used for exploration activities at Anaconda's Tilt Cove Gold Project in Newfoundland and the high-grade Goldboro Gold Project in Nova Scotia, and the net proceeds from the Unit portion of the Offering are expected to be used for exploration around the Company's existing mine operations, the continued advancement of the Goldboro Gold Project, and general corporate purposes.
All of the securities sold pursuant to the Offering are subject to a hold period which will expire on November 11, 2019 in accordance with the rules and policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") and applicable Canadian securities laws. The Offering remains subject to the final approval of the TSX.
