Zodiac Gold Announces Exclusivity Agreement and Exploration Funding

by admin

Zodiac Gold Inc. (TSXV: ZAU) (‘Zodiac Gold’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an exclusivity agreement (the ‘Exclusivity Agreement’) with Mable and Fable Limited (‘Mable and Fable’ or the ‘Investor’), an arm’s-length private equity group focused on West African investments across various sectors including natural resources, banking, real estate, agriculture, and infrastructure sectors.

Pursuant to the Exclusivity Agreement, Zodiac Gold has agreed to negotiate exclusively with the Investor until December 31, 2024 with respect to a potential investment or strategic transaction between Zodiac Gold and the Investor. In exchange, the Investor has agreed to pay a US$2 million deposit to the Company (the ‘Deposit’), of which US$1 million will be funded immediately and US$1 million will be funded within 30 days.

Zodiac Gold will use the Deposit to fund exploration activities on its Todi Project and areas underlying its newly acquired exploration licenses, as well as for general working capital purposes. If Zodiac Gold and the Investor enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a potential transaction by December 31, 2024, the Deposit will be applied as a credit against amounts otherwise payable by the Investor pursuant to the terms of the definitive agreement. If Zodiac Gold and the Investor do not enter into a definitive agreement by December 31, 2024, the Deposit (converted into Canadian dollars based on a F/X rate of US$1.00 = C$1.35) will be converted into common shares of Zodiac Gold at a price of C$0.30 per share.

The conversion of the Deposit into shares is subject to the receipt of TSXV approval. All shares issued on the conversion of the Deposit will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance. The Investor has also agreed that, except with the Company’s prior approval, it will not transfer any shares issued on the conversion of the Deposit for a period of 12 months from the date of issuance.
