Go Metals Closes Private Placement and Outlines Exploration Program

Rhea-AI Summary

Go Metals Corp (CSE: GOCO) announced the successful closure of a non-brokered flow-through common share financing, issuing 1,111,111 shares at $0.09 per share. The company raised approximately $99,999.99, subject to a hold period expiring on September 16, 2024. They also issued 77,777 non-transferable finder's warrants with an exercise price of $0.10, valid for 12 months. Additionally, Go Metals will undertake a reconnaissance program at their KM98 project in Côte-Nord, Québec. The program, supported by IOS Services Geoscientifiques, aims to identify favorable geology and mineralization for nickel-copper sulphides. The KM98 targets share geophysical similarities with the HSP project, with previous findings indicating potential for significant mineral deposits.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 16, 2024) - Go Metals Corp. (CSE: GOCO) ("Go Metals" and/or the "Company") is pleased to report that it has closed the previously announced non-brokered flow-through common share financing (the "FT Common Share Financing") by way of the issuance of 1,111,111 flow-through common shares (the "FT Shares") at a price of $0.09 per FT Share. Furthermore, the Company announces plans to conduct a reconnaissance program at the KM98 project on the Côte-Nord of Québec.

Scott Sheldon, CEO of Go Metals, states, "The KM98 project hosts the largest conductor we have seen to date. The reconnaissance work is aimed at confirming favourable geology and mineralization at surface. Finding evidence of a mafic or ultramafic unit will show we are in the right environment for a nickel-copper sulphide system."

Program Details
The program, supported by IOS Services Geoscientifiques, will include two teams using beep mats prospecting for conductors close to surface in hand shovelled trench test pits. The KM98 targets have similar geophysical signatures to the targets at HSP which were all confirmed at surface during a ground program in 2021.

The goal of the program is to identify the lithologies at the new EM targets. As seen at HSP to the north, a mafic or ultramafic unit within the anomaly would be favorable for nickel-copper sulphides. Massive ilmenite with scandium and vanadium, as seen at the RTFT mine to the south, could be another potential source of the large conductors seen at KM98.

KM98 Property
KM98 is hosted in the same anorthosite complex as the HSP project. The targets at KM98 are slightly offset from coincident magnetic anomalies on the edge of the anorthosite-mangerite-gneiss contact. The contact between the anorthosite complex and the footwall gneiss is the host of nickel-copper mineralization at HSP.

None of the KM98 targets have previous recorded ground exploration. The only recorded work is from the Quebec Geological Survey where chalcopyrite and vanadium were found along the magnetic contact directly south of the large EM anomaly.

The KM98 project is road accessible and is approximately 60 kilometres north of the town of Havre-Saint-Pierre. The Company also has a cleared claim block 15km east of the southern anomaly that was used for a camp during the 2023 exploration season.

Private Placement
Closing of the FT Common Share Financing occurred on May 15, 2024.

The FT Shares issued under the FT Common Share Financing shall be subject to a four-month and a day hold period expiring September 16, 2024, pursuant to applicable securities laws of Canada.

The Company has paid a finder's fee of $6,999.99 and it issued 77,777 non-transferable finder's warrants (the "Finder's Warrants") to one qualified party in connection with the FT Common Share Financing. Each Finder's Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $0.10 for a period of 12 months from the date of closing.
