VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 04, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gold Terra Resource Corp. (TSX-V: YGT; Frankfurt: TX0; OTCQX: YGTFF) ("Gold Terra" or the "Company") has announced today that it has entered into an agreement with by BMO Capital Markets, as lead underwriter and on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters to be formed, under which the underwriters have agreed to sell on a "best efforts" overnight marketed offering basis, a combination of common shares (the "Common Shares") and flow-through common shares (the "Flow-Through Common Shares") to provide the Company with gross proceeds of up to approximately C$6 million (the "Offering"). The Common Shares will be offered at a price of C$0.10 per share and the Flow-Through Common Shares will be offered at a price of C$0.115 per share. The number of Common Shares and Flow-Through Common Shares to be sold will be determined in the course of marketing. The Company has granted the Underwriters an option, exercisable at the offering price for a period of 30 days following the closing of the Offering, to sell Common Shares equal to up to an additional 15% of the Offering to cover over-allotments, if any. The Offering is expected to close on or about May 16, 2023 and is subject to Gold Terra receiving all necessary regulatory approvals, including the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The net proceeds from the sale of the Common Shares will be used to advance exploration at the Company's Yellowknife Project (YP), including the Con Mine Option property (CMO), for working capital, and for general corporate purposes.

The gross proceeds from the sale of the Flow-Through Common Shares will be used for expenditures which qualify as "Canadian exploration expenses" ("CEE") and "flow-through mining expenditures" both within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada). The Company will renounce such CEE with an effective date of no later than December 31, 2023.

The Company intends to file a prospectus supplement (the "Supplement" and, together with the Preliminary Supplement, the "Supplements") to its short form base shelf prospectus dated February 24, 2023 (the "Base Shelf Prospectus") on or about May 9, 2023. The Supplements will be filed with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada, except Québec. The Common Shares may also be offered by way of private placement in the United States.

The securities offered have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

About Gold Terra
The YP encompasses 800 sq. km of contiguous land immediately north, south and east of the City of Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories. Through a series of acquisitions, Gold Terra controls one of the six major high-grade gold camps in Canada. Being within 20 kilometers of the City of Yellowknife, the YP is close to vital infrastructure, including all-season roads, air transportation, service providers, hydro-electric power, and skilled tradespeople. Gold Terra is currently focusing its drilling on the prolific Campbell Shear, where 14 Moz of gold has been produced, and most recently on the Con Mine Option Property where it produced 6 Moz @ grade between 16 to 20 g/t Au (1938-2003).

The YP and CMO property lie on the prolific Yellowknife greenstone belt, covering nearly 70 kilometers of strike length along the main mineralized shear system that host the former-producing high-grade Con and Giant gold mines. The Company's exploration programs have successfully identified significant zones of gold mineralization and multiple targets that remain to be tested which reinforces the Company's objective of re-establishing Yellowknife as one of the premier gold mining districts in Canada.
