ROAD TOWN, TORTOLA, British Virgin Islands, Aug. 13, 2019 /CNW/ – Talon Metals Corp. (TSX: TLO) (“Talon” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce that it has filed a preliminary short form prospectus (the “Preliminary Prospectus”) in connection with an overnight marketed public offering (the “Offering”) of common shares (the “Common Shares”), for anticipated aggregate gross proceeds of up to approximately $10 million. It is anticipated that the offering price of the Common Shares will be $0.17 per Common Share.

The Offering is being conducted by a syndicate of underwriters (the “Underwriters”), co-led by Paradigm Capital Inc. and Canaccord Genuity Corp. The Preliminary Prospectus was filed in each of the provinces of Canada, other than the Province of Québec.

The Offering will be made pursuant to the terms of an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) to be entered into between the Corporation and the Underwriters. The Underwriting Agreement will provide that the Corporation will grant the Underwriters an option (the “Over- Allotment Option”) to purchase up to a number of additional Common Shares equal to 15% of the Common Shares sold pursuant to the Offering, exercisable in whole or in part at any time up to 30 days after and including the closing date of the Offering.

The Corporation intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for advancing work related to its planned exploration and development program at the Tamarack North Project in Minnesota, and for general working capital purposes.

Resource Capital Fund VI L.P. (“RCF”) has advised the Corporation that it intends to acquire approximately 20.0% of the Common Shares sold pursuant to the Offering. RCF is the largest shareholder of the Corporation and currently owns 227,196,154 Common Shares representing approximately 53% of the outstanding Common Shares.

The Offering is expected to close on or about August 29, 2019 and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”), and the entering into of the Underwriting Agreement.

The Common Shares have not been and will not be 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 Common Shares in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
