Burin Gold Corp. (“
Burin Gold” or the
“
Company”) is pleased to announce that it has
completed its initial public offering (the “
IPO”)
and listing on the TSX Venture Exchange (“
TSX-V”).
The IPO consisted of the issuance of 7.78 million units (each a
“
Unit”) issued at a price of $0.60 per Unit, and
3.26 million flow-through shares (each a “
FT
Share”) issued at a price of $0.69 per FT Share, pursuant
to final prospectus dated November 10, 2021 (the
“
Prospectus”) for total gross proceeds to Burin of
$6.92 million (the “
Offering”). Burin Gold’s
common shares were listed on November 22, 2021 and are expected to
commence trading on the TSX-V under the symbol
“
BURG” on November 24, 2021.
Each Unit is comprised of one common share in
the capital of the Company (a “Share”) and
one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole such
warrant, a “Warrant”). Each whole Warrant will
entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Share at an exercise
price of $0.85 per Warrant for a period of 24 months from the date
of issuance.
The Offering was managed by Haywood Securities
Inc. and Laurentian Bank Securities Inc. (the “Lead
Agents”) and including Echelon Wealth Partners Inc.
(together with the Lead Agents, the “Agents”). In
connection with the IPO, the Company has paid the Agents an
aggregate cash commission of $402,846.91 and issued to the Agents
642,187 broker warrants (“Broker Warrants”). Each
Broker Warrant is exercisable for one Common Share (a
“Broker Warrant Share”) at a price of $0.60 per
Broker Warrant for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance.
In addition, the Company paid to the Lead Agents a corporate
finance fee of $50,000 payable in cash and 41,666 Shares issued at
price of $0.60 per Share.
The Company will use the proceeds from the
flow-through portion of the Offering for Canadian exploration
expenses on its properties located in Newfoundland that will
qualify as flow-through mining expenditures, as defined in the
Income Tax Act (Canada). The Company will use the net proceeds from
the non flow-through portion of the Offering to fund the Company’s
business, as further described in the Company’s Prospectus.
Insiders of the Company acquired an aggregate of
535,331 Units and 25,000 FT Shares. Accordingly, the Offering
constituted to that extent a “related party transaction” within the
meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority
Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI
61-101”) requiring the Company, in the absence of
exemptions, to obtain a formal valuation and minority shareholder
approval thereof. The Company has relied on the exemptions from the
valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI
61-101 contained in Sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(b), respectively, of
MI 61-101 in respect of such insider participation.
Additional information on the Company and the
IPO can be found in the Company’s final prospectus dated November
10, 2021 as filed under the Company's profile on SEDAR at

About Burin Gold Corp.Burin
Gold is a newly listed public company on the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Company’s principal asset is a 159 km2 epithermal gold
exploration property on the Burin Peninsula, Newfoundland. The
Company’s property on the Burin Peninsula contains the Hickey’s
Pond gold prospect as well as numerous other historical
high-sulphidation epithermal gold showings that have yet to be
drill tested. The Company has been active in Newfoundland since
2018 (operating as a private company under its former name of
Bonavista Resources Corp.) and has significantly advanced its Burin
property through several exploration programs, including a 1,000
metre diamond drill program at the Hickey’s Pond prospect in late
2020. This initial drill program at Hickey’s Pond intersected a
best result of 10.8 m of 4.43 g/t Au at shallow depth (see
Bonavista Resources Corp. news release of Feb 24, 2021). With the
successful completion of its IPO, the Company is well-positioned to
commence a significant diamond drilling campaign at the Hickey’s
Pond prospect, planned to start Q1/2022.
