Irving Resources Announces Non-Brokered Private Placements
Not for Distribution to United States Newswire Services or for dissemination in the United States
Vancouver, British Columbia, June 20, 2022 (Globe Newswire) – Irving Resources Inc. (CSE:IRV; OTCQX: IRVRF) (“Irving” or the “Company”) reports that the investment agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) entered into between Irving and Newmont Corporation (“Newmont”) in April 2019, as amended (please refer to the Company’s news releases dated April 23, 2019, February 20, 2020 and April 12, 2021), has been further amended such that the next private placement which Newmont has the right to require the Company to undertake is now in the maximum amount of US$4,400,000 (the “2022 Newmont Placement”). In addition, Newmont has the right to require the Company to undertake a further private placement in the amount of US$6,000,000.
Irving also reports that Newmont has given notice of exercise of its right to proceed with the 2022 Newmont Placement. These funds will be raised by the issuance of common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”) at a price equal to the volume-weighted average trading price for the 30 trading days immediately preceding the date on which Newmont delivered its exercise notice. The funds from the 2022 Newmont Placement will be allocated as to 70% towards exploration on Irving’s Omu project in Hokkaido, Japan and 30% towards the alliance formed between Irving and an affiliate of Newmont to identify and, if designated by Newmont’s affiliate, jointly exploit mineral exploration opportunities throughout Japan.
Irving also intends to concurrently undertake a non-brokered private placement of units (the “Concurrent Placement”) to raise up to C$3,000,000 by the issuance of units (“Units”) at a price of C$1.00 per Unit. Each Unit will consist of one Common Share and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant, each whole Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Common Share at a price of C$1.60 for a period of three years. It is expected that the Concurrent Placement will close concurrently with the 2022 Newmont Placement. The funds from the Concurrent Placement will be allocated towards exploration on the Company’s mineral resource projects and general working capital.
