TORONTO, Aug. 11, 2022 /CNW/ - Galantas Gold Corporation (TSXV: GAL) (AIM: GAL) (OTCQX: GALKF) ("Galantas" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an amending agreement with Canaccord Genuity Corp., on behalf of itself and a syndicate of agents including Cormark Securities Inc. and Research Capital Corporation (together, the "Agents"), to increase the size of the Company's previously announced proposed "best efforts" private placement to up to 13,333,340 units of the Company ("Units") at a price of C$0.45 per Unit (the "Offering Price") for aggregate gross proceeds of up to approximately C$6 million (the "Upsized Offering"). Each Unit will be comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a "Common Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole common share purchase warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share (a "Warrant Share") at a price of C$0.55 per Warrant Share for a period of 30 months following the closing of the Upsized Offering.

The Company has also granted the Agents an option, exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time up to 48 hours prior to closing of the Upsized Offering, which will allow the Agents to sell up to an additional 2,000,001 Units at the Offering Price.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Upsized Offering for exploration and development at the Joshua Target as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The Upsized Offering is expected to close on or about August 25, 2022, or such other date as the Company and the Agents may agree, and is subject to certain closing conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the conditional acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Upsized Offering will be made by way of private placement in each of the provinces of Canada pursuant to applicable exemptions from the prospectus requirements, and in such other jurisdictions, in each case in accordance with all applicable laws, provided that no prospectus, registration statement or other similar document is required to be filed in such jurisdiction. The securities issued under the Upsized Offering will be subject to a four month hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws.

The securities offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities law, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from such registration requirements.
