TORONTO, Aug. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- G2 Goldfields Inc. (“G2” or the “Company”) (TSX:GTWO, OTCQX:GUYGF) is pleased to announce that it has closed the previously announced non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”) of 28,965,365 common shares of the Company (the “Shares”) at a price of $1.45 per Share for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately C$42 million.

The net proceeds from the Offering are expected to be used to advance exploration activities at the Company’s Oko project in Guyana and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

A single European investor purchased 20,000,000 Shares and AngloGold Ashanti Holdings plc (“AGA”) purchased 8,965,365 Shares under the Offering, increasing AGA’s ownership to approximately 15.0% of the outstanding Shares of G2 from approximately 12.8% immediately prior to closing of the Offering.

In connection with the Offering, the Company paid finder’s fees to Roth Canada, Inc. in an amount equal to 5.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of Shares to AGA.

The Shares have not been and will not be registered under the United States SecuritiesActof1933 (the “1933Act”) and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the 1933 Act) unless the securities have been registered under the 1933 Act or pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the 1933 Act, and in compliance with any applicable securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States.

Participation by AGA, an insider of the Company, in the Offering was considered a “related party transaction” pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – ProtectionofMinoritySecurityHoldersin Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company was exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation or minority shareholder approval in connection with AGA’s participation in the Offering in reliance of sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101. A material change report in connection with the participation of AGA in the Offering will be filed less than 21 days in advance of the closing of the Offering, which the Company deemed reasonable in the circumstances so as to be able to avail itself of potential financing opportunities and complete the Offering in an expeditious manner.
