Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 5, 2024) - Fremont Gold Ltd. (TSXV: FRE) (FSE: FR20) (OTCQB: FRERF) ("Fremont" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement of up to 10,000,000 units ("Units") at a price of C$0.10 per unit for gross proceeds of up to C$1,000,000 (the "Placement"). Each Unit will be comprised of one common share of the Company ("Share") and one half of one share purchase warrant. Each whole share purchase warrant ("Warrant") will entitle the holder to purchase one Share at a purchase price of $0.17 for a period of 18 months following the close of the Placement.
Dennis Moore, President and CEO of Fremont states "Armenia is a very prospective jurisdiction in the heart of the Tethyan Metallogenic Belt with an investor-friendly corporate environment and a well-established mining culture. The country hosts numerous large base and precious metal deposits, both in production and under construction, yet remains vastly underexplored by modern methods. With first-mover advantage, Fremont has worked diligently over the last two and a half years to assemble a portfolio of copper and gold projects with clear Tier One potential. Our 2024 exploration programs are well underway on the Urasar and Vardenis Projects. We look forward to completing the current Placement and updating the market on our exploration activities as we advance toward drill-testing in the coming months."
The Placement is being led by Fremont's President, CEO and majority shareholder Dennis Moore, along with existing shareholders and insiders. Net proceeds of the Placement will be used to advance exploration at the Company's Vardenis and Urasar Projects in Armenia, evaluation of other mineral opportunities and for general working capital purposes.
The Placement is subject to regulatory approval and all securities issued pursuant to the Placement are subject to a four-month hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws. The Company may pay finders' fees in connection with the Placement, as permitted by applicable securities laws and the rules of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"). The finders' fee will consist of a commission equal to 6% of proceeds raised, payable in cash.
Certain Directors and/or Officers of the Company will acquire securities under the Placement. Any such participation would be considered to be a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI-61-101"). The Placement will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI-61-101 as neither the fair market value of any shares or the consideration paid by such persons will exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
