Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 27, 2025) - Fairchild Gold Corp. (TSXV: FAIR) ("Fairchild" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that, further to its news releases dated August 13, 2025, and August 22, 2025 it has closed the first tranche of the non-brokered listed issuer financing exemption private placement of 20,050,000 units, of the max offering, 24,000,000 units ("Units") at a price of $0.06 per Unit for gross proceeds of C$1,203,000, of the max offering, C$1,440,000 (the "Offering"). The Company anticipates closing of final tranche by September 8, 2025.
Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (each, a "Common Share") and one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder to purchase one Common Share of the Company at a price of C$0.10 at any time on or before that date which is 3 years after the closing date of the Offering.
The Units were sold to purchasers pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions, as modified by Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption of the Canadian Securities Administrators (together, the "LIFE Exemption").
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering over the coming 12 months for project expenditures at the Company's Copper Chief Project in Nevada, USA as well as general working capital purposes.
The Units issued and sold under the Offering in reliance on the LIFE Exemption are not subject to a hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws. No finder's fee was paid in this Offering. The Offering remains subject to the final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.
An insider from the Company subscribed indirectly for a total of 4,666,666 Units under the Offering. A subscription by an insider of the Company is considered to be a "related party transaction" of the Company within the meaning of Exchange Policy 5.9 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is exempt from the formal valuation requirement in Section 5.4 of MI 61-101 in reliance on Section 5.5(a) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the Offering, insofar as it involves interested parties, is not more than 25% of the Company's market capitalization. Additionally, the Company is exempt from the minority shareholder approval requirement in Section 5.6 of MI 61-101 in reliance on Section 5.7(a) as the fair market value of the Offering, insofar as it involves interested parties, is not more than 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the closing of the Offering because the details of the insider participation were not finalized until closer to closing of the Offering and the Company wished to close the Offering as soon as practicable for sound business reasons.
None of the securities sold under the Offering have been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
