March 11, 2024, Surrey British Columbia – Desert Gold Ventures Inc. (TSXV: DAU) (FSE: QXR2) (OTCQB: DAUGF) ("Desert Gold" or "the Company") announces that, further to its February 1, 2024 news release and subject to TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) approval, it has increased its non-brokered private placement (the “Financing”) of units at a price of CAD $0.07 per Unit (each, a “Unit”). In connection with the Financing, the Company advises that it has received subscription receipts totaling CAD $1,119,220. Subject to TSXV approval, the Company intends to close the Financing in the coming days.
Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company and one share purchase warrant ("Warrant") that entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company at a price of CAD $0.08 per common share for a period of three (3) years from the closing of the Financing. The Company may pay a finder's fee to qualified individuals in respect to the Financing. Securities issued pursuant to the Financing will be subject to a statutory hold period.
If any directors and officers of the Company acquire Units pursuant to the Financing, then such participation is a related party transaction as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The transaction will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 if neither the fair market value of any securities issued to or the consideration paid by such persons will exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization. Any securities issued to insiders of the Company will also be subject to the TSXV hold period.
The private placement is subject to acceptance for filing by the TSXV.
The proceeds of the Financing will be used to fund:
1) A Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") that will focus on the heap leach extraction of gold from open pit constrained oxide and transition mineral resources at its Barani East and Gourbassi West gold deposits.
