ROUYN-NORANDA, Quebec, Oct. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSX-V: RDS, OTCQB: RMRDF) (“Radisson” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce that it has closed the first tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”). Pursuant to the closing of this first tranche, Radisson issued (i) 7,421,038 units of the Corporation (the “Units”) at a price of $0.27 per Unit, (ii) 4,765,625 class A common share in the capital of the Corporation (the “Shares”) that qualifies as “flow-through share” (the “NFT Shares”) pursuant to subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”) at a price of $0.32 per NFT Share; and (iii) 6,016,012 Shares, that qualifies as a “flow-through share” (the “QFT Shares” and together with the Units and the NFT Shares, the “Offered Securities”) as defined in subsection 66(15) of the Tax Act and section 359.1 of the Taxation Act (Québec) (the “Québec Tax Act”) at a price of $0.36 per QFT Share. Total gross proceeds to the Corporation of the first tranche is $5,694,444.58.
Each Unit consists of one Share and one-half of Share purchase warrant (each whole such warrant, a “Warrant”) exercisable at a price of $0.37 per Share for a period of 24 months following the closing date of the Offering (the “Closing”).
The second tranche of the Offering for units of the Corporation consisting of one charity flow-through Share, to be sold on a charitable flow-through basis, and one-half of Warrant (the “Charity Units”), at a price of $0.47 per Charity Unit, is expected to close shortly.
The gross proceeds received by the Corporation from the sale of the NFT Shares and QFT Shares, (together the “FT Shares”) will be used to incur Canadian Exploration Expenses (“CEE”) that are “flow-through mining expenditures” (as such terms are defined in the Tax Act) on the O’Brien gold project in the Province of Québec, which will be renounced to the subscribers with an effective date no later than December 31, 2024, in the aggregate amount of not less than the total amount of the gross proceeds raised from the issue of FT Shares. For purchasers of QFT Shares resident in the Province of Québec, 10% of the amount of CEE will be eligible for inclusion in the deductible “exploration base relating to certain Québec exploration expenses” and 10% of the amount of the expenses will be eligible for inclusion in the deductible “exploration base relating to certain Québec surface mining exploration expenses” (as such terms are defined in the Québec Tax Act, respectively) giving rise to an additional 20% deduction for Québec tax purposes.
Insiders of the Corporation have subscribed in the Offering for a total of 312,500 NFT Shares and 84,783 QFT Shares under the Offering which “related parties’ transactions” within the meaning of Regulation 61-101 respecting Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“Regulation 61-101”) and TSXV Policy 5.9 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. Each insider that participated in the Offering disclosed their respective interest in the Offering and the directors of the Corporation who voted in favor of the Offering have determined, based on advice from counsel and management, that the exemptions from formal valuation and minority approval requirements provided for respectively under subsections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of Regulation 61-101 can be relied on as neither the fair market value of the FT Shares issued to insiders nor the fair market value of the consideration paid exceed 25% of the Corporation’s market capitalization. None of the Corporation’s directors has expressed any contrary views or disagreements with respect to the foregoing. A material change report concerning this related party transaction will be filed by the Corporation.
All Offered Securities issued pursuant to this Offering are subject to a restricted hold period of four months and a day, ending on February 23, 2025, under applicable Canadian securities legislation. The Offering remains subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”).
In consideration for services rendered in connection with the Offering, finders’ fees totaling $104,742 were paid by the Corporation. In addition, 333,767 brokers’ warrants entitling the holder thereof to acquire one Share for a period of 24 months from the Closing at a price of $0.37 were issued.
