/NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. WIRE SERVICES/
VANCOUVER, BC, May 2, 2023 /CNW/ – Group Eleven Resources Corp. (the “Company”) (TSXV: ZNG) (OTC: GRLVF) (FRA: 3GE) is pleased to announce an increase in the size of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the “Private Placement”), as described in the Company’s news release dated May 01, 2023.
The Company now intends to issue up to 16,666,666 units of the Company (each, a “Unit”) at a price of $0.09 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to $1,500,000 (from $1,000,000 previously). All currency in this news release is denominated in Canadian dollars.
Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (a “Common Share”) and one-half of one non-transferrable common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share in the capital of the Company (a “Warrant Share”) for a period of 36 months from the date of issue at an exercise price of $0.15 per Warrant Share.
The Private Placement will be made available to subscribers pursuant to the accredited investor and friends, family and business associate exemptions provided under sections 2.3(1) and 2.5 of National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus Exemptions.
The Company expects to pay finder’s fees in connection with the Private Placement to certain eligible finders in the form of: (i) a cash commission of 6% of the gross proceeds raised under the Private Placement from investors introduced to the Company by the finder; and (ii) the issuance of such number of non-transferable common share purchase warrants of the Company equal to 6% of the Units issued under the Private Placement from investors introduced to the Company by the finder.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Private Placement primarily for follow-up drilling on the Company’s Ballywire zinc-lead-silver discovery at the PG West project (100%-interest) in Ireland, as well as for general and administrative purposes. There may be circumstances, however, where, for sound business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be necessary.
Michael Gentile currently holds 26,366,614 Common Shares and 6,508,333 Warrants, each Warrant entitling Mr. Gentile to purchase one additional Common Share upon payment of additional consideration to the Company. These Common Shares and Warrants represent approximately 16.66% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares on an undiluted basis and approximately 19.95% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares on a partially diluted basis. Mr. Gentile has agreed to subscribe for up to 15% of the Private Placement which, in the event the Company issues the full 16,666,666 Units in the Private Placement, would result in Mr. Gentile subscribing for 2,433,333 Units for aggregate cash consideration of $219,000. Following the completion of the Private Placement, Mr. Gentile would beneficially own and control an aggregate of 28,799,947 Common Shares and 7,725,000 Warrants, representing approximately 16.46% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares on an undiluted basis and approximately 19.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares on a partially diluted basis.
The Private Placement is subject to all necessary regulatory approvals including acceptance from the TSX Venture Exchange. All securities issued in connection with the Private Placement will be subject to a four-month hold period from the closing date under applicable Canadian securities laws, in addition to such other restrictions as may apply under applicable securities laws of jurisdictions outside Canada.
The ownership percentages of Common Shares described above are based on the Company having 158,301,502 Common Shares issued and outstanding as of the date of this news release and 174,968,169 Common Shares outstanding upon completion of the Private Placement.
Group Eleven Resources Corp. (TSX.V: ZNG; OTC: GRLVF and FRA: 3GE) is a mineral exploration company focused on advanced stage zinc exploration in Ireland. Additional information about the Company is available at www.groupelevenresources.com.
