Goldbank Mining Corporation (“Goldbank”)(TSX.V-GLB) has closed its $180,000 private placement comprised of 3,600,000 units at $0.05 per unit, of which $150,000 is flow-through. Each unit consists of one common share and one four-year transferable warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional share at a price of $0.05 per share. The flow-through shares comprising the flow-through units and flow-through shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants comprising the flow-through units will entitle the holder to receive the tax benefits applicable to flow-through shares in accordance with provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada).
The $150,000 in flow-through proceeds will be used for necessary exploration expenditures to maintain and preserve Goldbank’s claims in the Klondike Goldfields, Yukon Territory, Canada. The $30,000 in non-flow-through proceeds will be used for working capital. The terms of the financing have been accepted for filing by the TSX Venture Exchange. The units are restricted from trading until August 30, 2015.
As a result of the private placement Anthony Beruschi has increased his control position by 2,900,000 shares, now holding 9,964,920 shares in the capital of Goldbank, representing approximately 36.01% of the issued and outstanding shares of Goldbank. If Mr. Beruschi were to exercise all of his warrants, he would hold 19,198,253 common shares of Goldbank representing approximately 52.02% of the then total outstanding common shares of Goldbank, assuming that no further common shares of Goldbank were issued.
The private placement subscription by Mr. Beruschi 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”). Goldbank is relying on the exemptions contained in sections 5.5(a) and section 5.7(1)(a) as the fair market value of the participation in the private placement by Mr. Beruschi does not exceed 25 per cent of the market capitalization of Goldbank, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. Goldbank’s board of directors carefully reviewed and unanimously approved the private placement subscription by Mr. Beruschi. Goldbank did not file a material change report in respect of the related party transaction at least 21 days before closing of the private placement as the date of closing was not previously known.
Goldbank Mining Corporation is a Canadian exploration company actively exploring for gold in the Klondike Goldfields near Dawson City, Yukon, Canada.
