Under the terms of the placement, G2 Goldfields intends to issue a total of 9.6 million units at a price of 52 cents each. These units will be comprised of one common share in the company and half of one common share purchase warrant.

Each whole unit will entitle the holder to acquire an additional common share at a price of $1.00, exercisable for a period of 18 months from the date of issuance.

So far, the offer has been fully subscribed and includes participation from Northfield Capital for approximately 960,000 units, as well as approximately 1,925,000 units that have been purchased by certain insiders of G2 Goldfields.

Canaccord Genuity has been enlisted to act as the company’s financial advisor for the placement, and will receive a cash commission equal to 6 per cent of the total funds raised. A $50,000 finder’s fee will also be paid through the issuance of 96,153 units at a price of 52 cents each.

According to today’s announcement, the proceeds raised under the offering will be used to fund a 10,000-metre drill program, which has been designed to expand mineralisation at the company’s high-grade Oko gold discovery.

A portion of the proceeds will also be used to begin a maiden drill program at the Tracy and Aremu Mine regions, as well as for mapping and sampling along the Aremu-Oko district, which spans 17 kilometres.
