Radisson announces closing of $1.7 million Private placement

Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSX-V: RDS, OTC: RMRDF) (“Radisson” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced private placement (the “Offering”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,700,000.64. This private placement was conducted pursuant to the previously announced terms and consisted of the issuance of: (i) 5,870,592 Quebec flow-through shares (the “Québec FT shares”) priced at CAD$0.17 and (ii) 3,120,000 Charity flow-through shares (the “Québec Charity FT Shares”) priced at CAD$0.225 collectively the “FT Shares”.

“Radisson is pleased to have received continued support from insiders and existing shareholders on this financing, including strong participation from Mr. Michael Gentile a director and largest single shareholder of the Company. Since the beginning of 2022, total insider’s purchases have been approximately 4.5 million shares. We’re looking forward to rebuilding momentum in coming months with most of the work completed over the last 3 years coming to fruition in a resource estimate update for the O’Brien Project that remains on track for the first half of 2023,” commented Denis V. Lachance, Interim President and Chief Executive Officer.

Insiders’ participation and involvement from existing shareholders

Insiders of the Company have subscribed in the Offering for a total of 1,685,294 QC FT Shares.

Following closing of the Private Placement, Insiders of the Company will own 9.57% of the Company’s issued and outstanding class A shares including Mr. Gentile who owns 6.43% (18,321,701 class A shares).

Insiders participation in the Offering constitutes “related parties transactions” within the meaning of Regulation 61-101 respecting Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“Regulation 61-101”) and TSXV Policy 5.9 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. However, the directors of the Company who voted in favour of the Offering have determined that the exemptions from formal valuation and minority approval requirements provided for respectively under subsections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of Regulation 61-101 can be relied on as neither the fair market value of the QC FT Shares issued to insiders, nor the fair market value of the consideration paid exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. None of the Company’s directors have expressed any contrary views or disagreements with respect to the foregoing. A material change report in respect of this related party transaction will be filed by the Company but could not be filed earlier than 21 days prior to the closing of the Offering because the terms of the participation of each of the non-related parties and the related party in the Offering were not confirmed.

Use of proceeds

The gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Québec FT Shares will be used to incur Canadian Exploration Expenses (“CEE”) that are “flow-through mining expenditures” (as such terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)) on the O’Brien gold project in the Province of Québec, which will be renounced to the subscribers with an effective date no later than December 31, 2022, in the aggregate amount of not less than the total amount of the gross proceeds raised from the issue of FT Shares.

The FT Shares will qualify as “flow-through shares” within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada). The qualifying expenditures will be renounced in favour of the subscribers with an effective date no later than December 31, 2022.

Finders Fee

The Private Placement is subject to final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange. Finder’s fees totaling $1,500 were paid in relation to the Private Placement. All securities issued pursuant to this Offering are subject to a restricted hold period of four months and a day, ending on April 6, 2023, under applicable Canadian securities legislation. The Offering remains subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”).
