Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - January 22, 2024) - Gowest Gold Ltd. (TSXV: GWA) ("Gowest" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a loan agreement with Lush Land Investment Canada Inc. (the "Lender"), pursuant to which Gowest may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000.

安大略省多倫多--(Newsfile Corp.,2024 年 1 月 22 日)-Gowest Gold Ltd.(多倫多證券交易所股票代碼:GWA)(”Gowest“或者”公司“)很高興地宣佈,它已與加拿大鬱鬱蔥蔥的土地投資公司簽訂了貸款協議(”貸款人“),根據該協議,Gowest可以借款,本金總額不超過1,000萬美元。

The proceeds of this loan are intended to be used by Gowest for ongoing general working capital requirements, the payment of outstanding accounts payable due to Northern Sun Mining Corp. ("Northern Sun") of approximately $4,550,000, and proposed advances to be made to Northern Sun as a prepayment for future milling services, such advances to be used by Northern Sun for certain expenses to be incurred in connection with the construction of the tailings pond at the Redstone Mill and/or other capital investments, in preparation for milling Gowest's ore mined from Bradshaw. Definitive terms for such a milling agreement between the Corporation and Northern Sun are currently being negotiated.

這筆貸款的收益打算由Gowest用於持續的一般營運資金需求,支付應付給北方太陽礦業公司的未付應付賬款(”北方太陽“)約爲455萬美元,並擬議向北太陽預付款,作爲未來研磨服務的預付款,北方太陽將使用這些預付款來支付與在雷德斯通磨坊建造尾礦池和/或其他資本投資有關的某些費用,爲開採從布拉德肖開採的Gowest礦石做準備。該公司與北方太陽之間這種制粉協議的最終條款目前正在談判中。

Dan Gagnon, President and Chief Executive Officer of Gowest, said, "Thanks to the ongoing strong support of our largest shareholders, we are continuing to advance our development and operational plans for Bradshaw and our other North Timmins Gold Project properties. In addition to Greenwater's exploration-focused loan, announced last month, Lush Land is helping us to press forward with Northern Sun to ready the Redstone Mill for milling our ore when we return underground at Bradshaw later this year."

Gowest 總裁兼首席執行官丹·加格農,他說:“得益於最大股東的持續大力支持,我們將繼續推進布拉德肖和其他北蒂明斯黃金項目物業的開發和運營計劃。除了上個月宣佈的Greenwater以勘探爲重點的貸款外,Lush Land還幫助我們與Northern Sun一起向前推進,以便在我們今年晚些時候返回布拉德肖地下時讓紅石磨坊做好開採礦石的準備。”

Description of Loan Agreement

貸款協議的描述

On January 19, 2024, the Corporation entered into a loan agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with the Lender, an investment company incorporated under the laws of Ontario, pursuant to which the Lender has agreed to advance to the Corporation an aggregate principal amount of up to $10,000,000.

2024 年 1 月 19 日,公司簽訂了貸款協議(”貸款協議“)貸款人是一家根據安大略省法律註冊成立的投資公司,貸款人已同意向該公司預付總額不超過1,000萬加元的本金。

The aggregate principal amount under the Loan Agreement will be funded in tranches at the written request of the Corporation. Each tranche advanced under the Loan Agreement will be for a minimum principal amount of $500,000. The loan is unsecured, and funds advanced under the Loan Agreement will bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum. The outstanding principal balance, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, will be due and payable on December 31, 2025. The outstanding principal balance and accrued interest may be prepaid by the Corporation at any time during the term of the loan without penalty.

應公司的書面要求,貸款協議下的本金總額將分批融資。根據貸款協議預付的每筆款項的最低本金額爲500,000美元。該貸款是無抵押的,根據貸款協議預付的資金將按每年12%的利率計息。未償本金餘額及其應計和未付利息將於2025年12月31日到期支付。在貸款期限內,公司可以隨時預付未償還的本金餘額和應計利息,無需支付罰款。

As the Lender is a significant shareholder of the Corporation, holding approximately 45.36% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Corporation, the entering into of the Loan Agreement constitutes a "related party transaction" pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101").

由於貸款人是公司的重要股東,持有公司已發行和流通普通股的約45.36%,因此根據多邊文書61-101,貸款協議的簽訂構成 “關聯方交易”- 在特殊交易中保護少數證券持有人 (”MI 61-101“)。

The loan transaction under the Loan Agreement is exempt from the valuation requirement under MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemptions contained in Sections 5.5(a) and (b) of MI 61-101, as the maximum principal amount of the loan represents less than 25% of the Corporation's market capitalization, and the common shares of the Corporation are listed only on the TSX Venture Exchange and not on any other stock exchange. The transaction is exempt from the minority shareholder approval requirement under MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemptions contained in Sections 5.7(1)(a) and 5.7(1)(f) of MI 61-101, as the maximum principal amount of the loan represents less than 25% of the Corporation's market capitalization, and the transaction has been obtained on reasonable commercial terms that are not less advantageous to the Corporation than if the loan were obtained from a person dealing at arm's length with the Corporation. The loan is not convertible into common shares of the Corporation pursuant to its terms.

由於MI 61-101第5.5(a)和(b)節中包含的豁免,貸款協議下的貸款交易不受MI 61-101的估值要求的約束,因爲貸款的最大本金額不到公司市值的25%,而且該公司的普通股僅在多倫多證券交易所風險交易所上市,不在任何其他證券交易所上市。由於MI 61-101第5.7(1)(a)和5.7(1)(f)條中包含的豁免,該交易不受MI 61-101規定的少數股東批准要求的約束,因爲貸款的最大本金額不到公司市值的25%,而且該交易是以合理的商業條件獲得的,對公司的有利程度不亞於從Arm's交易人員那裏獲得的貸款在公司工作了很長時間。根據其條款,該貸款不可轉換爲公司的普通股。

The Loan Agreement has been approved by the disinterested members of the board of directors of the Corporation. In connection with the approval of the Loan Agreement, Mr. Meirong Yuan, a director of the Corporation who is also a director of the Lender, abstained from voting in respect of the transaction. All other directors consented to the entering into of the Loan Agreement and the consummation of the loan transaction thereunder.

貸款協議已得到公司董事會中無私成員的批准。關於貸款協議的批准,該公司董事、同時也是貸款人董事的袁美榮先生對該交易投了棄權票。所有其他董事均同意簽訂貸款協議並根據該協議完成貸款交易。

A material change report is not being filed more than 21 days prior to entering into of the Loan Agreement in order that the Corporation may close the transaction and access funds thereunder as expeditiously as possible.

重大變更報告的提交時間不得超過貸款協議簽訂的21天,以便公司可以儘快完成交易並獲得該協議下的資金。

The Loan Agreement remains subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

貸款協議仍有待多倫多證券交易所風險交易所的最終批准。

Previously announced Loan Agreement for Exploration
