GFG Resources Inc. (TSXV: GFG) (OTCQB: GFGSF)
(“
GFG” or the “
Company”)
announces today that it is electing to accelerate the expiry of
outstanding share purchase warrants (“
Warrants”)
of the Company originally issued on October 6, 2022, March 21, 2023
and April 19, 2024. In connection with the acceleration of
warrants,
Alamos Gold Inc.
(“Alamos”) (
TSX: AGI; NYSE: AGI)
has exercised 5,343,302 warrants for a total consideration of
C$694,629. In addition to Alamos, a large majority of warrant
holders have confirmed their intent to exercise.
Pursuant to the terms of the Warrants, the
Company may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants if the
closing price of the Company’s common shares on the TSX Venture
Exchange equals or exceeds C$0.18 for 10 consecutive trading days
(the “Acceleration Period”), to the date which is
30 days following the dissemination of a news release announcing
the acceleration. The Company hereby provides notice of the
Acceleration Period covering the 10 trading days ended November 1,
2024 and that the Company is exercising its right to accelerate the
expiry of the Warrants to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto Time) on December 9,
2024 (the "Accelerated Expiry Date"). Any Warrants
remaining unexercised after the Accelerated Expiry Date will expire
and be of no force and effect.
As of November 7, 2024, an aggregate of
23,989,553 Warrants remain outstanding. Accordingly, if all the
outstanding Warrants are exercised, gross proceeds to the Company
will total approximately C$3.9 million. There is no assurance that
all of the Warrants will be exercised. Holders may exercise the
Warrants before the Accelerated Expiry Date by observing the
process as set out in the Warrant certificates.
"This is an exciting opportunity for GFG," said
Brian Skanderbeg, President and CEO of GFG. "The warrant exercise
could bring in nearly C$4.0 million in capital, providing us with a
strong financial foundation to aggressively advance drill programs
at both the historic Aljo Gold Mine and the new Muskego Gold
Target. We are confident that these programs will expand the Aljo
gold system and potentially lead to a significant gold discovery at
Muskego, ultimately aiming to find the next gold mine in the
prolific and infrastructure rich Timmins Gold District."
Prior to the closing of Alamos’ warrant exercise
(the “Transaction”), Alamos held 23,809,004 common
shares of GFG, representing a security holding percentage of
approximately 9.8%, on an undiluted basis. Following the closing of
the Transaction, Alamos will have beneficial ownership of, or
control and direction over 29,152,306 common shares or 11.8% of
common shares of GFG, on an undiluted basis (based on 247,217,181
common shares outstanding as of November 7, 2024) and no warrants.
Alamos acquired the common shares for investment purposes, which
will be evaluated and may be increased or decreased from time to
time at Alamos' discretion. A copy of Alamos’ early warning report
will be available on the SEDAR+ website at www.sedarplus.ca or can

CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING
INFORMATION
All statements, other than statements of
historical fact, contained in this news release constitute
“forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable
Canadian securities laws and “forward-looking statements” within
the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 (referred to herein as “forward-looking
statements”). Forward-looking statements include, but are not
limited to, the Company’s future exploration plans with respect to
its property interests and the timing thereof, the prospective
nature of the projects, future price of gold, success of
exploration activities and metallurgical test work, permitting time
lines, currency exchange rate fluctuations, requirements for
additional capital, government regulation of exploration work,
environmental risks, unanticipated reclamation expenses, title
disputes or claims and limitations on insurance coverage.
Generally, these forward-looking statements can be identified by
the use of forward-looking terminology such as “plans”, “expects”
or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”,
“estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not
anticipate” or “believes”, or the negative connotation thereof or
variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions,
events or results, “may”, “could”, “would”, “will”, “might” or
“will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved” or the negative
connotation thereof.
All forward-looking statements are based on
various assumptions, including, without limitation, the
expectations and beliefs of management, the assumed long-term price
of gold, that the Company will receive required permits and access
to surface rights, that the Company can access financing,
appropriate equipment and sufficient labour, and that the political
environment within Canada and the United States will continue to
support the development of mining projects in Canada and the United
States. In addition, the similarity or proximity of other gold
deposits to the Company’s projects is not necessary indicative of
the geological setting, alteration and mineralization of the
Rattlesnake Hills Gold Project, the Goldarm Property, the Pen Gold
Project and the Dore Gold Project.
Forward-looking statements are subject to known
and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause
the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements
of GFG to be materially different from those expressed or implied
by such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to:
actual results of current exploration activities; environmental
risks; future prices of gold; operating risks; accidents, labour
issues and other risks of the mining industry; availability of
capital, delays in obtaining government approvals or financing; and
other risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties and
the additional risks described in the Company’s most recently filed
annual and interim MD&A are not, and should not be construed as
being, exhaustive.
Although GFG has attempted to identify important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other
factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or
intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove
to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ
materially from those anticipated in such statements. In addition,
forward-looking statements are provided solely for the purpose of
providing information about management’s current expectations and
plans and allowing investors and others to get a better
understanding of our operating environment. Accordingly, readers
