Westhaven Gold Corp. (TSX-V:WHN) (“Westhaven” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced bought deal financing (the “Offering”). Pursuant to the Offering, Westhaven issued 21,378,500 units of the company (the “Units”), including 2,788,500 Units issued in connection with the exercise in full of the over-allotment option granted to Raymond James Ltd. in connection with the Offering, at a price of C$0.70 per Unit for gross proceeds of C$14,964,950.

Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one-half common share purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one common share of the Company for an exercise price of C$1.00 per share for a period of two years from the Closing Date. The Warrants will be listed on the TSX Venture Exchange with trading commencing on March 5, 2021. The Warrants were issued under a warrant indenture dated March 3, 2021, a copy of which is available on the Company’s profile on SEDAR.

‎The net proceeds from the Offering will be used to fund the exploration and development of the Company’s mining properties in British Columbia including Shovelnose, drilling to complete a maiden resource estimate, working capital and general corporate purposes.

The Units were offered by way of short form prospectus in each of the provinces of Canada (except the Province of Quebec), pursuant to National Instrument 44-101 – Short Form Prospectus Distributions.

Westhaven benefits from the B.C. Mining Exploration Tax Credit (METC) which is a permanent incentive to support investment in mining. The METC is a refundable B.C. income tax credit for eligible individuals and corporations conducting grassroots mineral exploration in B.C. and is worth 30% of qualified mining exploration expenditures.
