TORONTO, Sept. 22, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Evergold Corp. (TSX-V: EVER, OTC: EVGUF, FRA: 5EG) (“Evergold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the Company has completed the first tranche (“First Tranche”) of its previously announced (see news, August 28) non-brokered private placement (“the Offering”), which was primarily targeted at hard dollar investors, and exceeded it’s targeted sale of hard dollar units (“Units”). Because most institutional flow-through funds have depleted their capital by September, and several of these funds have indicated a desire to invest in the Company upon replenishing their reserves in early October, the Company intends to complete a second tranche (“Second Tranche”) involving several of these funds, thereafter. Prior to completing this second tranche, the Company will first receive back from the lab, evaluate, and then release assay results for the recently completed Phase 1 drill program at the Company’s Golden Lion project, and any remaining significant assay results from its recently completed Phase 1 drill program at the Company’s Snoball project.
The First Tranche targeted the sale of a minimum $1 million in hard dollar units. It closed with the sale of 2,173,600 hard dollar units to a fund and retail investors for gross hard dollar proceeds of $1,086,800, plus the sale of 325,000 flow-through shares, all to retail investors, for gross flow-through proceeds of $195,000. Gross proceeds, hard dollars and flow-through combined, amounted to $1,281,800. It is expected that the second and final tranche will close in the near future.
“We are pleased to have exceeded our hard dollar objectives, and to have received guidance from several major funds that they wish to invest in our second tranche, subject to terms,” said Kevin Keough, President & CEO. “In the near term we will focus on the exciting work of assessing and releasing assay results from drilling at our GL1 “Main” prospect. On September 9 we completed an extensive induced polarization (“IP”) geophysical survey over the target area which defined a resistivity and chargeability anomaly encompassing hundreds of metres of strike length, broad widths, and untested down-dip potential. The significance of these geophysical results is that the target is now considerably larger than previously understood, and drilling to date appears to be only testing its edge. We look forward to integrating the pending drill assay results with the new geophysical data as we plan for a Phase 2 follow-up drill program in the next (2020) field season.”
Investors may view a video presentation by the CEO, presented to the Metals Investor Forum on September 10 at: https://www.evergoldcorp.ca/investors/media/. The latter half of this presentation deals specifically with the aforementioned geophysical anomaly and its spatial relationship to drilling.
