TORONTO, May 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQB: GOTRF) (Frankfurt: B4IF) (the "Company" or "Goliath") is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced "best-efforts" upsized private placement (the "Offering") for gross proceeds of C$9,650,000, which includes the full exercise of the Agent’s Option for gross proceeds of C$1,150,000. Under the Offering, the Company sold 9,650,000 flow-through units to charitable purchasers (each, a "Charity FT Unit") at a price of C$1.00 per Charity FT Unit (the "Offering Price"). Red Cloud Securities Inc. (the "Agent") acted as sole agent and bookrunner under the Offering.

Such proceeds will be renounced to the subscribers of Charity FT Units with an effective date not later than December 31, 2023, in the aggregate amount of not less than the total amount of gross proceeds raised from the issue of FT Shares.
The Company intends to use most of the proceeds from the Offering for Qualifying Expenditures for exploration and drilling at its new Surebet discovery at its 100% controlled Golddigger property located in the Golden Triangle, British Columbia.
6,150,000 Charity FT Units were sold pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of NI 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions (the "Listed Issuer Financing Exemption"). Pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws, the Common Shares issuable from these 6,150,000 Charity FT Units will be immediately freely tradeable under the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption for Canadian purchasers.

In connection with the Offering, the Company paid to the Agent a cash commission totaling C$437,250 and issued to the Agent 437,250 warrants of the Company (each, a "Compensation Warrant").
