Highway 50 Gold Announces Completion of Non-Brokered Flow-Through Private Placement
February 10, 2017
Vancouver, British Columbia — Highway 50 Gold Corp. (TSX.V — HWY)
Highway 50 Gold Corp. (“Highway 50” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has increased its non-brokered private placement previously announced on January 18, 2017 from $350,000 to $367,000 (the “Flow-Through Offering”), and has today closed the Flow-Through Offering and issued an aggregate of 1,835,000 common shares (each a “FT Share”) of the Company, on a flow-through basis under the Income Tax Act (Canada), at a purchase price of $0.20 per FT Share. All FT Shares issued to purchasers under the Flow-Through Offering are subject to a four-month hold period expiring on June 11, 2017, pursuant to applicable securities legislation and the policies of the Exchange. No finders fees were paid in connection with the Flow-Through Offering.
The proceeds of the Flow-Through Offering will be used to fund a follow-up drill program on the Monroe property located in southeastern British Columbia. The 2016 drill campaign conducted on the Monroe Property identified a sulphide vent complex within the Sullivan Mine Stratigraphy that produced elevated amounts of iron sulphides with subordinate lead-zinc and copper mineralization in the form of veins, disseminations and layers. This follow-up campaign is intended to test the central portion of the vent complex for possible economic grade zinc-lead-silver mineralization. Drilling is expected to commence in late February 2017 and is anticipated to comprise up to 1,800 metres of drilling in two to three holes. The target horizon averages approximately 500 metres depth in the area of interest. The Company has an option to earn a 50 per cent interest in the Monroe property by spending annual optional exploration expenditures totalling $3,000,000 over the next four years.
In addition, the Company also wishes to announce that Ms. Megan Cameron-Jones has replaced Mr. Gordon P. Leask as Corporate Secretary.
