VANCOUVER, BC, April 7, 2025 – Nevada King Gold Corp. (TSX-V: NKG) (“Nevada King” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company is proceeding with a non-brokered private placement financing (the “Offering”) of 44,000,000 common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”) at a price of $0.25 per Common Share for aggregate gross proceeds of $11-million. The Non-Brokered Private Placement is fully allocated and is expected to close on or about April 22, 2025.
Highlights:
Collin Kettell, CEO of Nevada King stated: “We are thrilled to welcome this large U.S. based precious metals fund to the Nevada King ownership group. The fund is regarded as an industry thought leader and one of the most respected institutional precious metal investors. Their participation, along with insiders increasing their ownership in the company, demonstrates a strong endorsement for the Atlanta Gold Mine Project and confidence in Nevada King”.
The net proceeds of the Offering are intended to be used to advance Nevada King’s Atlanta Gold Mine Project and for other general working capital purposes. No finder’s fees are being paid on the Offering.
The Common Shares to be issued under the Non-Brokered Private Placement are expected to be offered by way of applicable prospectus exemptions in accordance with NI 45-106 to “accredited investors”. The Common Shares issued pursuant to the Non-Brokered Private Placement will be subject to the statutory hold period of four months from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. The securities offered have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy of any securities in the United States. The securities described herein 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 state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold within the United States except in compliance with the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or pursuant to available exemptions therefrom.
Related Party Participation in the Offering:
Certain insiders of the Company, including Collin Kettell (CEO and Director), expect to participate in the Non Brokered Private Placement. The participation by insiders in the Offering constitutes 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 the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the Common Shares purchased by insiders, nor the consideration for the Common Shares paid by such insiders, will exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. The Company expects that the closings of the Offering will occur within 21 days of this announcement and that it will not file a material change report in respect of the related party transaction at least 21 days before the closings. The Company deems this circumstance reasonable in order to complete the Offering in an expeditious manner. The Offering has been unanimously approved by the Company’s board of directors. Further information regarding the interest in the Offering of every related party and the effect that the Offering will have on their percentage of securities of the Company will be provided once finalized.
