Item 5.1 Full Description of Material Change
On July 10, 2020, the Company announced the closing of the first tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement of common shares, raising a total of C$12.5 million through the issuance of 69,479,167 common shares at a price of $0.18 per share.
H&P (Advisory) Limited and Paradigm Capital Inc. acted as Joint Lead Agents to the private placement. The Joint Lead Agents received a cash commission on the offering of 6% of the gross proceeds of the offering.
In connection with the private placement, the Joint Lead Agents arranged for each subscriber to purchase from certain selling shareholders, one common share, for every two shares acquired under the private placement (the “Secondary Offering”). The Company understands a total of 37,774,265 additional common shares were purchase by the subscribers from the selling shareholders a price of $0.16 per share. Such shares, together with the common shares distributed under the private placement, are subject to a four month and one day hold period expiring on November 10, 2020.
Due to some administrative complexities related to the coordination of the private placement with the Secondary Offering, the Company sought to close an additional tranche of the private placement of $1,050,000 under a second tranche.

On July 13, 2020, the Company announced the closing of the second tranche of the private placement, raising an additional C$1.05 million through the issuance of an additional 6,069,363 common shares, therefore increasing the aggregate raised by the Company under the private placement to C$13.55 million (US$9.97 million) through the issuance of an aggregate of 75,548,530 common shares of the Company.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to fund further exploration drilling of the Segilola Gold Project underground resource and also to drill identified satellite targets in proximity to the Segilola gold project within the project exploration licence and the Company’s surrounding exploration licences. The proceeds will also be used to progress exploration at its prospective Douta Gold Project in Senegal, and for general working capital purposes. Due to administrative complexities the purchasers under the second tranche of the private placement were unable to participate in the Secondary Offering and as a result the Company agreed to reduce the subscription price of one-third of the shares purchased under the second tranche from $0.18 per share to $0.16 per share so that the average purchase price for the shares purchased under the second tranche was the same as if such purchasers had participated in the Secondary Offering. All of the common shares issued pursuant to the second tranche of the Private Placement will be subject to a four month and one day hold period expiring on November 11, 2020.
After the closing of the private placement, the total number of shares outstanding now is 621,195,975.
Gross proceeds of $13,558,273 were raised pursuant to the private placement and the Company intends to use the proceeds to fund exploration drilling of the Segilola underground resource and identified satellite targets in proximity to the Segilola gold project. The proceeds will also be used to progress exploration at its prospective Douta Gold Project in Senegal, and for general working capital purposes.
