VANCOUVER, BC – (March 31, 2023) – FireFox Gold Corp. (TSX.V: FFOX) (OTCQB: FFOXF)(“FireFox” or the “Company”) announces, effective March 29, 2022 that, subject to regulatory acceptance, it has completed the first tranche of the non-brokered private placement (the “Private Placement”) announced on February 27, 2023. The Company intends to complete a second tranche of the Private Placement before April 14, 2023.
In this first tranche, the Company has raised total gross proceeds of $623,500 by issuing 6,235,000 units of the Company at a purchase price of $0.10 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant being exercisable to acquire one additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.15 per share for a term of two years from the date of issuance. The Shares issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus one day from the date of issuance, in accordance with applicable securities legislation.
The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Private Placement for general corporate purposes, working capital and exploration activities on FireFox’s gold exploration properties in Finland.
Certain directors, officers and other insiders of the Company purchased or acquired direction and control over a total of 500,000 units under the private placement. The placement to those persons constitutes a “related party transaction” within the meaning of TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”) adopted in the Policy. The Company has relied on exemptions from the formal 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 in respect of related party participation in the placement as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involved the related parties, exceeded 25% of the Company’s market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101).
FireFox will pay to qualified finders $2,700 in cash finder’s fees and will issue 27,000 finders warrants exercisable at $0.15 for 2 years from the date of issuance in association with the first tranche of the Private Placement. FireFox will pay $12,000 in agency fees and will issue 120,000 agency warrants exercisable at $0.15 for 2 years from the date of issuance in association with the first tranche of the Private Placement.
