District Metals Announces Closing of Private Placement Financing
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
| Vancouver, B.C. | December 14, 2021 |
December 14, 2021 - District Metals Corp. (TSX-V: DMX) (FRA: DFPP); ("District" or the "Company") has closed its previously announced brokered private placement financing pursuant to an agency agreement with Haywood Securities Inc. (the "Agent"), raising aggregate gross proceeds of $1,800,000 (the "Offering"). Under the terms of the Offering, the Company issued a total of 7,200,000 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.25 per Unit.
Garrett Ainsworth, President & CEO of District, commented: "This funding will allow us to continue the ongoing Phase II exploration program at our high grade polymetallic Tomtebo Property located in the Bergslagen Mining District of south-central Sweden planned to re-commence in early-2022. We are eager to continue advancing the highly prospective Tomtebo Property with a focus on defining the high grade polymetallic Steffenburgs zone, which recently returned 14.3 m at 9.5% Zn, 2.3% Pb, 40 g/t Ag, 0.4 g/t Au, and 0.2% Cu."
Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole such purchase warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one common share in the capital of the Company (a "Warrant Share") at $0.35 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months from the closing date.
The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for exploration at the Company's Tomtebo Property in Sweden, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
In consideration for its services, the Agent received a cash commission of up to 6% of the gross proceeds raised under the Offering, and was issued an aggregate of 358,320 compensation options, with each such compensation option entitling the holder to purchase one Unit of the Company at a price of $0.25 per Unit for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance.
All securities issued and issuable pursuant to the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period and may not be traded until April 15, 2022 except as permitted by applicable securities legislation and the rules and policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. The offering remains subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").
Certain related parties of the Company participated in the Offering. The issuance of Units to related parties is considered to be a related party transaction within the meaning of TSXV Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). The Company has relied on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 (and Policy 5.9) as the fair market value of the Units issued to such persons does not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
The securities issued pursuant to the Offering have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any applicable U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in the United States, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
