Vancouver, British Columbia–(July 31, 2020) – Phoenix Gold Resources Corp. (the
“Company”) (TSXV: PXA) is pleased to announce that it has completed a non-brokered private
placement offering (the “Private Placement”) raising gross proceeds of $200,000 through the
sale of 4,000,000 common shares (“Shares”) of the Company at a price of $0.05 per Share.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Private Placement for working capital and
general corporate purposes. No finders fees were paid in respect of the Private Placement.
The Company has received conditional approval for the Private Placement from the TSX Venture
Exchange. All Shares issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to a four month
hold period from the date of issue.
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is
defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the
adequacy or accuracy of this press release.
Multilateral Instrument 61-101
Under the Private Placement, a company controlled by Andrew Lee, a director of the Company,
participated in the Private Placement subscribing for 200,000 Shares for gross proceeds of
$10,000. His participation in the Private Placement is considered a “related party transaction”
pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101—Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special
Transaction (“MI 61-101”), but the Company is exempt from the requirements to obtain formal
valuation and minority shareholder approval in connection with his participation in reliance,
respectively, on Section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 as the Company is not listed on a “specified market”
and on Section 5.7(1)(b) of MI 61-101 as a distribution of securities for cash not exceeding
$2,500,000 which is approved by independent directors. The Private Placement did not result in
the creation of a new control person of the Company. The Company did not file a material change
report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Private Placement as the details of the
Private Placement and participation therein by related parties of the Company were not yet settled
until shortly before closing and the Company wished to close expeditiously without delay in
keeping with best business practices.
