Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 23, 2025) - Fairchild Gold Corp. (TSXV: FAIR) ("Fairchild" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the closing of a first tranche of non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of $810,000 (the "Offering") on April 22, 2025. In connection with the closing of the Offering, the Company issued 13,500,000 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.06 per Unit.
Each Unit is comprised of one common share (a "Common Share") in the capital of the Company and one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"), whereby each whole Warrant shall be convertible into an additional Common Share at an exercise price of $0.15 for a period of sixty (60) months from the date of issuance. The Warrants include an acceleration clause to the effect that if the daily volume weighted average closing price of the common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange is at least $0.50 per Common Share for a period of five (5) consecutive trading days, 12 months after the closing date of the Offering (the "Triggering Event"), the Company may, within 5 days of the Triggering Event, accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants by giving notice thereof to the holders of the Warrants, by way of news release, and in such case the Warrants will expire on the first day that is 10 calendar days after the date on which such notice is given by the Company announcing the Triggering Event.
The Offering constitutes a "related party transaction" under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), as two directors, Nikolas Perrault and Geoffrey Baker participated indirectly in the Offering. Pursuant to MI 61-101, the Company will file a material change report providing disclosure in relation to each "related party transaction" on SEDAR+ under the Company's issuer profile at www.sedarplus.ca. The Company did not file the material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing date of the Offering as the details of the Offering were not settled until shortly prior to the conclusion of the Offering, and the Company wished to complete the Offering on an expedited basis for sound business reasons. The Company is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements available under MI 61-101. The Company is exempt from the formal valuation requirement in section 5.4 of MI 61-101 in reliance on sections 5.5(a) and (b) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the transaction, insofar as it involves each of the significant shareholders, is not more than 25% of the Company's market capitalization. Additionally, the Company is exempt from minority shareholder approval requirement in section 5.6 of MI 61-101 in reliance on section 5.7(1)(a) as the fair market value of the transaction, insofar as it involves each of the significant shareholders, is not more than 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The Offering was previously approved by the board of directors of the Company, including disinterested directors. No special committee was established in connection with the transaction, and no materially contrary view was expressed or made by any director.
No finder's fee was paid in this Offering. The Common Shares and Warrants issued under the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance or longer for certain subscribers. The Offering remains subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The securities offered have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
The Company intends to complete a second and final closing of $200,000 of this offering on or about April 30, 2025. Fairchild intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for geophysical surveys and expanded field work at the Company's Project in Nevada, as well as marketing and general working capital purposes.
Nevada Titan
Also, in order to better reflect the district scale nature of its Nevada project, the Company has elected to adopt the name Nevada Titan for all subsequent communications and marketing materials when referring to the Project instead of Copper Chief as the latter, while a high priority target is the name of only one of numerous historic mines and targets contained within the Company's expanded claim package.
