Vancouver, British Columbia – Providence Gold Mines Inc. (the “Company” or “Providence Gold”) is pleased to announce that it has arranged a non-brokered private placement of up to $1,200,000 (the “Financing”) through the issuance of up to 8,000,000 units (the “Units”) at a price of $0.15 per Unit. Each Unit will be comprised of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (“Warrant”), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share of Providence Gold at a price of $0.25 per share for a period of 2 years.
The Company may pay finders’ fees equal to 7% in cash and 10% in warrants for subscriptions as may be attributable to such finders. Finders’ warrants issued to registered dealers or exempt market dealers will be valid for a period of two years, with each warrant exercisable into one common share of the Company at a price of $0.25 per share.
The net proceeds of the private placement will be budgeted as follows:
- $ 1,000,000 for exploration and drilling of up to 3050 meters of HG core drilling as recommended in the recently-filed NI 43-101 report dated February 12, 2018 on the Providence Gold Mines property located near Sonora, California (see news release dated February 12, 2018).
