VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 25, 2020 / Kanadario Gold Inc. ("Kanadario" or the "Company") (TSXV:KANA) is pleased to announce that, further to its news releases dated October 23 and November 23, 2020, it has closed its brokered private placement (the "Brokered Offering") through a syndicate of underwriters led by Sprott Capital Partners LP and including BMO Capital Markets (the "Underwriters"). In connection with the closing of the Brokered Offering, including the exercise in full by the Underwriters of the Underwriters' option, the Company issued 73,860,000 units ("Units"), each comprised of one common share of the Company (a "Common Share") and one half of one Common Share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole Warrant, a "Warrant"), at a price of $0.50 per Unit for gross proceeds of $36,930,000. Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one additional Common Share at a price of $0.80 for a period of 18 months following the closing of the Brokered Offering; provided that if the volume weighted average closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") or such other stock exchange on which the Common Shares are trading (the "Exchange") is equal to or greater than $1.60 for a period of 10 consecutive trading days, the Company may at its option elect to accelerate the expiry of the Warrants by providing notice to holders of Warrants within 10 calendar days following the end of such 10 consecutive trading day period, in which case the Warrants will expire on the date specified in such notice, which will be not less than 30 calendar days following delivery of such notice. In connection with the Brokered Offering, the Company paid to the Underwriters a cash fee equal to 5.75% of the gross proceeds of the Brokered Offering.

In addition, the Company has closed in escrow its previously announced concurrent non-brokered private placement (the "Non-Brokered Offering") under which Life of Mine Investments Inc. ("LOMI") and related persons will subscribe for 11,340,000 Units for gross proceeds of $5,670,000, which will be issued on the same terms and conditions as those issued pursuant to the Brokered Offering. The Non-Brokered Offering remains subject to final TSXV approval and Shareholder Approval (as defined below). The Company is seeking the approval of the Non-Brokered Offering by the minority shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholder Approval") voting at its annual and special general meeting of shareholders (the "AGSM") as required pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions, scheduled to take place on December 15, 2020. Subject to obtaining these approvals and complying with applicable closing conditions, the Non-Brokered Offering is expected to close as soon as practicable following the Shareholder Approval.

The Common Shares and Warrants comprising part of the Units and the Common Shares issuable on the exercise of the Warrants are subject to a statutory four month hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws.

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Brokered Offering and the Non-Brokered Offering for general corporate and working capital purposes towards acquiring at least one advanced-stage gold asset within the first year, in a tier-one jurisdiction focused in the Americas, though there is no assurance that current evaluations will result in an acquisition.

Concurrent with the closing of the Brokered Offering, the Company has effected the previously announced change of management (the "Change of Management"). Effective today, upon the resignation of Dominic Verdejo, Louis-Pierre Gignac has been appointed as the new President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. In addition, the current members of the board of directors of the Company have resigned and have been replaced by Louis Gignac Sr., who will act as Chairman, as well as David Fennell, Elif Levesque and Norman MacDonald. Joseph Meagher will continue to act as the Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary of the Company for an interim period. For more information on the Change of Management, please see the Company's press release dated October 23, 2020.

The new President and Chief Executive Officer, Louis-Pierre Gignac, commented: "I am excited about the successful private placements, enabling the new management of the Company to focus its efforts on the acquisition of a significant gold asset, where management's proven expertise in mine building and optimization can best be leveraged. Kanadario thanks the outgoing directors and management for their service and wishes them well in their future projects."
