Completion of £450,000 Placing
Scotgold Resources Limited (AIM:SGZ) (the "Company") advises that, following the completion of the non-renounceable rights issue first announced on 13 November 2017 (the "Rights Issue"), the Company has successfully completed a placing of 1,800,000 new fully paid ordinary shares to sophisticated existing investors in the Company to raise £450,000 (the "Placing").
The Placing is on the same terms as the Rights Issue, being at a price of £0.25 per new ordinary share with free options attached to the new ordinary shares at a ratio of one option for every five new ordinary shares purchased, with each option being exercisable at £0.40 on or before 31 December 2019.
Proceeds from the Placing will primarily be used towards:
1. Commencement of the part development of the Cononish Gold and Silver Project;
2. The Grampian exploration project;
3. Potential repayment of an existing £1 million loan, which is payable by 30 March 2018; and
4. Working capital.
The Company awaits a planning determination for the Cononish Gold and Silver Project from the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Parks Planning Authority, which is still expected early this year.
Application is being made for the 1,800,000 new ordinary shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission") and Admission is expected to take place on or around 10 January 2018.
Following Admission, the Company's enlarged issued share capital will comprise 28,365,349 ordinary shares with voting rights. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury, therefore the total number of shares in the Company with voting rights will be 28,365,349. This figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company.
Scotgold CEO, Richard Gray, commented:
"The Company is pleased to accept these additional share applications which not only demonstrate confidence in the Company's current strategy but will further bolster our financial position ahead of the planning determination."
