Toronto, Canada, August 23, 2024:
O2Gold is making significant strides in its gold exploration efforts in Quebec. The company has provided an update on its acquisition of Quebec Aur Ltd., which holds a promising gold mining property in the region. Additionally, O2Gold has announced plans for a private placement financing to support its exploration activities.
The acquisition of Quebec Aur Ltd. is a strategic move for O2Gold. The target company's property spans over 9,000 hectares and is located in a region known for its gold mineralization. The property boasts 261 mineral claims and has seen historical exploration activities. O2Gold intends to seek shareholder approval for the acquisition at its upcoming annual meeting on September 25, 2024. Successful completion of this transaction could pave the way for the company's graduation to the TSX Venture Exchange Tier 2.
To fuel its exploration endeavors, O2Gold has announced plans for a non-brokered private placement financing. The company aims to raise between $1.5 million and $2.0 million through this offering. The proceeds will be utilized to fund exploration activities on the newly acquired property and for general corporate purposes. The closing of the financing is anticipated to take place in late September 2024.
In addition to the acquisition and financing updates, O2Gold has also disclosed the settlement of a loan with Q-Gold Resources Ltd. The settlement involved the issuance of 7 million common shares of O2Gold. Furthermore, the company has successfully closed the second and final tranche of its previously announced private placement, raising an additional $100,000.
The scientific and technical information provided in this release has been reviewed by Stéphane Amireault, a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Amireault is expected to join O2Gold as VP Exploration following the completion of the acquisition.
Overall, O2Gold's progress in Quebec highlights its commitment to gold exploration and its strategic approach to expanding its operations. The company's acquisition of the Quebec Aur Ltd. property, coupled with the planned financing, positions O2Gold for potential growth and value creation in the gold mining sector.
