VANCOUVER, BC, April 9, 2025 /CNW/ - Nevada King Gold Corp. (TSX-V: NKG) ("Nevada King" or the "Company") is pleased to announce an increase to its $11 million non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") previously announced on April 7, 2025. Due to demand from existing shareholders, the Company now intends to raise gross proceeds of $11.5 million through the issuance of 46,000,000 common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") priced at $0.25 per Common Share.
The net proceeds of the Offering are intended to be used to advance Nevada King's Atlanta Gold Mine Project and for other general working capital purposes. No finder's fees are being paid on the Offering. All other terms of the Offering as disclosed in the Company's news release of April 7, 2025, remain unchanged and the Offering is subject to the receipt of customary approvals, including acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V").
In connection with the Offering, Collin Kettell, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, who intends to subscribe for 22,000,000 Common Shares, financed a significant portion of his subscription with an arranged sale of 20,000,000 Common Shares (the "Kettell Shares") from his personal holdings to a prominent U.S.-based gold and precious metals fund through the facilities of the TSX-V. The planned sale at a price of $0.25 per Kettell Share for aggregate consideration of $5,000,000 occurred on April 7, 2025. Immediately prior to the disposition of the Kettell Shares, Mr. Kettell directly held an aggregate of 67,115,048 Common Shares representing approximately 17.75% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares and, following his disposition of the Kettell Shares, he directly held an aggregate of 47,115,048 Shares representing approximately 12.46% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.
As the Kettell Shares represented approximately 5.29% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, Mr. Kettell has filed an early warning report in connection with such disposition. To obtain a copy of the early warning report, refer to Nevada King's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca or contact the Company. The holdings of securities of the Company by Mr. Kettell are managed for investment purposes and he may, in future, increase or decrease his ownership, control or direction over Nevada King securities through market transactions, private agreements, or otherwise.
