New Break Announces Closing of Non-Brokered Private Placement Financings
January 6, 2022
Not for dissemination in the United States of America or through U.S. newswire services.
Toronto, Ontario, January 6, 2022 – New Break Resources Ltd. (“New Break” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that effective December 10, 2021, it closed a non-brokered private placement financing, through the issuance of 1,467,000 flow-through common shares (“Flow-Through Shares”) at a price of $0.30 per Flow-Through Share, for gross proceeds of $440,100 and effective December 30, 2021, closed the first tranche of a non-brokered private placement financing through the issuance of 80,000 units (“Units”) at a price of $0.25 per Unit, for gross proceeds of $20,000.
The $0.25 Unit offering is being undertaken on a best effort basis, in connection with the Company’s plans to go public in early 2022. The Company intends to offer up to 4,000,000 Units for gross proceeds of $1,000,000 with an over-allotment option of up to 100%.
Each Unit consists of one common share (a “Common Share”) of the Company and one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant a “Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof, to purchase one additional Common Share of the Company at a price of $0.35 for a period of twenty-four (24) months following a Liquidity Event, defined as the completion of an event which results in the Common Shares of the Company freely tradable on a recognized public stock exchange. The Warrants are subject to an acceleration clause in the event the Common Shares become listed for trading on a stock exchange in Canada and the volume-weighted average trading price equals or exceeds $0.50 for a period of ten (10) consecutive trading days.
The gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Flow-Through Shares will be used to incur eligible Canadian Exploration Expenses (“CEE”) that are “flow-through mining expenditures”, as such term is defined in the Income tax Act (Canada), related to the Company’s mineral exploration properties, including:
- Exploration activities at the Company’s fully permitted Moray Gold Project located in Ontario on the Cadillac Larder-Lake Fault Zone, approximately 49 km southeast of Timmins.
- Exploration activities on the Company’s properties in Kivalliq Region, Nunavut, including:
- the Sundog Gold Project, held through a fully executed Inuit Owned Lands Mineral Exploration Agreement between the Company and Nunavut Tunngavik Incorported.
- the recently staked Esker claim, drilled by Comaplex Minerals Corp. in 1997, the results of which included 2.35 g/t Au over 70.95 metres (hole 97-13), 8.18 g/t Au over 13.27 metres (hole 97-15), 4.00 g/t Au over 5.57 metres (hole 97-16) and 7.24 g/t Au over 5.0 metres (hole 97-23), all at depths between 10 to 155 metres below surface.
The Company will renounce such CEE to the purchasers of the Flow-Through Shares with an effective date of no later than December 31, 2021.
In connection with the $0.30 Flow-Through Share offering, the Company paid finder’s fees to eligible persons (the “Finders”) totaling $7,200 in cash, being 6% of the proceeds raised from subscribers introduced to the Company by such Finders and issued 12,000 common share purchase warrants (each a “Finder Warrant”), being 6% of the Flow-Through Shares purchased by a subscriber. Each Finder Warrant is non-transferrable and exercisable for one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.30 for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the date of closing. No fees were paid in connection with the closing of the first tranche of Units.
The Flow-Through offering constituted a related party transaction within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”) as insiders of the Company subscribed for an aggregate of 52,000 Flow-Through Shares for gross proceeds of $15,600. However, the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 do not apply to the Company as the Company is not currently a reporting issuer.
The securities issued pursuant to the financings are subject to a statutory hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws. The securities offered have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or applicable exemption from the registration requirements.
