VANCOUVER, BC, March 24, 2026 /CNW/ - Nevada King Gold Corp. (TSX-V: NKG; OTCQB: NKGFF) ("Nevada King" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it intends to complete a non-brokered private placement of common shares of the Company ("Common Shares"), which is fully subscribed, for total gross proceeds of approximately C$16 million (the "Financing"). In connection with the Financing, the Company has entered into a subscription agreement with Centerra Gold Inc. ("Centerra") pursuant to which Centerra will acquire 9.9% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares at a price of C$0.21 per Common Share (the "Issue Price"), matching the 20-day VWAP of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange, for anticipated gross proceeds of approximately C$10 million (the "Strategic Investment"). Both the Chairman of Nevada King, Collin Kettell, and the largest shareholder, Michael Parker, intend to participate in the Financing to maintain their pro-rata ownership positions in the Common Shares, for anticipated gross proceeds of approximately C$6 million.
John Sclodnick, CEO of Nevada King, commented: "This strategic investment from Centerra culminates a lengthy period of due diligence and is a strong endorsement for both the quality and growth potential of the Atlanta Gold Mine Project, as well as for Nevada King's exploration team. With the bolstered treasury, the Company is now in a position to advance our ambitious exploration program at Atlanta to truly define the district scale potential of one of the highest grade, open pit, oxide gold projects in Nevada, a top mining jurisdiction in the world. We're excited to welcome Centerra as a new shareholder, a highly reputable and technically strong intermediate gold producer with assets in Nevada and the Great Basin area."
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Financing to continue regional and reconnaissance exploration across the Atlanta Gold Mine Project property especially high priority targets of Silver Park, Atlanta South, Atlanta North, and Western Rim, as well as for general working capital purposes.
In connection with the Strategic Investment, Nevada King and Centerra intend to enter into a customary investor rights agreement at closing, pursuant to which, subject to certain conditions, including certain ownership thresholds, Centerra will be granted financing participation rights and information rights, among other customary terms.
The Financing is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, as the Company and Centerra may agree, and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals, including the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Common Shares to be issued under the Financing will be offered pursuant to prospectus exemptions under National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions ("NI 45-106") to purchasers resident in Canada and in other jurisdictions outside of Canada in accordance with applicable laws. The Common Shares will be subject to a four month hold period in Canada.
The Common Shares to be issued under the Financing have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold to, or for the account or benefit of, persons in the "United States" (as such term is defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) absent registration under the U.S. Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws or compliance with the requirements of an exemption therefrom. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities to, or for the account or benefit of, persons in the United States, nor will there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
