Tudor Gold, of which Goldstorm is currently a subsidiary, is seeking to spin out its interest in Goldstorm (which holds six contiguous Golden Triangle Area mineral properties, being the Mackie East, Mackie West, Fairweather, High North, Delta and Orion and Electrum properties (the “Properties”)) to the current shareholders of Tudor through a plan of arrangement (the “Spin-Out Arrangement”). Upon completion of the Spin-Out Arrangement, it is intended that the net proceeds from the sale of Non-FT Units (net of the applicable finder’s fees) will be used for exploration work at the Properties, as well as for working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes.

The entire gross proceeds from the issue and sale of the FT Units and Subscription Receipts will be used for Canadian Exploration Expenses as defined in paragraph (f) of the definition of “Canadian exploration expense” in subsection 66.1(6) of the Tax Act and “flow through mining expenditures” as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Tax Act that will qualify as “flow-through mining expenditures” (the “Qualifying Expenditures“), which will be incurred on or before December 31, 2023 and  renounced with an effective date no later than December 31, 2022 to the initial purchasers of FT Units and Subscription Receipts.

In connection with the Spin-Out Arrangement, the Company intends to list its common shares (the “Listing”) on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”). Upon the Company receiving confirmation from the Exchange that the Listing is complete, whether via the issuance of the Exchange’s final listing bulletin, or otherwise (the “Escrow Release Condition”), the date of satisfaction of the Escrow Release Condition being the “Escrow Release Date”, each Subscription Receipt will be deemed to be converted into one SR Unit for no additional consideration. Each SR Warrant which partially comprises the SR Units, will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.60 for a period of two (2) years from the Escrow Release Date.

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company issued 260,052 finder’s warrants (the “Finder’s Warrants”) and paid commissions of $97,031.12 to certain arm’s length finders. Each Finder’s Warrant will entitle the holder, on exercise thereof, to acquire one additional common share at a price of $0.26 per Common Share until the date that is two (2) years from the date of issuance of the Finder’s Warrants.

Ronald-Peter Stoeferle subscribed for $60,000.20, and Sean Pownall, through More Core Drilling Services Ltd., a corporation beneficially owned by him, subscribed for $99,996 in the Private Placement. Mr. Stoeferle and Mr. Pownall are insiders of the company and as such, their participation in connection with the Private Placement is a related-party transaction under the policies of the Exchange and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. The Company is relying on exemptions from the minority shareholder approval and formal valuation requirements applicable to the related-party transactions under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a), respectively, of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the shares to be purchased by Mr. Stoeferle, or on behalf of Mr. Pownall, nor the consideration to be paid by either of Mr. Stoeferle or Mr. Pownall exceeds 25 per cent of the Company’s market capitalization.

The securities comprising each of the Non-FT Units and FT Units, and the securities underlying the Subscription Receipts and Finder’s Warrants will have a hold period of until the date that is four months and one day after the date the Company becomes a reporting issuer in any province or territory in Canada. In connection with the Listing, the closing of the Private Placement is subject to the final approval of the Exchange.
