TORONTO, Aug. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Talmora Diamond Inc. (“ Talmora ” or the “ Company ”) (CSE:TAI), is pleased to announce it has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement offering of 5,000,000 units (the “ HD Units ”) at a price of $0.05 per HD Unit and 3,000,000 flow-through units (the " FT Units " and together with the HD Units, the “ Offered Securities ”) at a price of $0.05 per FT Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $400,000 (the “ Offering ”).
Each HD Unit is comprised of one (1) common share in the capital of the Company (a “ Common Share ”) issued on a non-flow-through basis and one Common Share purchase warrant (a “ Warrant ”). Each FT Unit is comprised of one (1) Common Share qualifying as a “flow-through share” as defined in subsection 66(15) of the Tax Act and one Warrant. Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one (1) Common Share (a “ Warrant Share ”) at a price of $0.06 per Warrant Share for a period of twelve (12) months following the closing date of the Offering.
The net proceeds from the issue and sale of the HD Units are expected to be used to carry out exploration on the Company’s mineral properties in the Northwest Territories, Canada to better define the targets for a drilling program tentatively planned for winter/spring 2025, and for general corporate purposes. The Company will use an amount equal to the gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Units to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" (as both terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)) related the Company’s properties located in the Northwest Territories, Canada (the “ Qualifying Expenditures ”), on or before December 31, 2025, and to renounce all the Qualifying Expenditures in favour of the subscribers of the FT Units effective on or before December 31, 2024.
All securities issued in connection with the Offering are subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the closing date, in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. In connection with the Offering, the Company paid aggregate finder’s fee of $600.00.
Raymond Davies, President, Chief Executive Officer and a Director of the Company, acquired 1,800,000 HD Units and 550,000 FT Units under the Offering. Such participation will be considered to be a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ( " MI 61-101 "). The Company is relying on exemptions from the minority shareholder approval and formal valuation requirements applicable to the related-party transactions under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a), respectively, of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the Offered Securities acquired by Raymond Davies nor the consideration paid by Raymond Davies exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
The securities issued under the Offering have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and were not to be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in the United States or in any other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
