Omai Gold Mines announces upsize to previously announced non-brokered private placement

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES

TORONTO, June 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Omai Gold Mines Corp. (TSX VENTURE:OMG) ("Omai" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that due to strong investor demand, it has increased its previously announced non-brokered private placement offering (the "Offering") from aggregate gross proceeds of up to C$3,000,000, to aggregate gross proceeds of C$5,000,000 through the issuance of units of the Company (the "Units") at a price of C$0.17 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share (“Common Share”) and one-half of a common share purchase warrant. Two such half warrants constitute a full warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of C$0.23 for a period of 36 months from the closing date of the Offering.

Omai is also pleased to announce that Silvercorp Metals Inc. (“Silvercorp”), an existing shareholder, has increased its previously announced lead order from approximately C$455,000 to approximately C$759,000 of the Offering. Assuming total gross proceeds from the Offering of C$5,000,000, Silvercorp is expected to hold an approximately 15.2% equity stake in the Company on a basic basis and increase its current ownership to 16.0% on a partially diluted basis.

The proceeds from the Offering will be used for an expanded exploration program at the Omai Gold Project.

The Company may pay a finder’s fee of 7% cash as well as 7% broker warrants for Units sold to certain investors (“Broker Warrants”). Each Broker Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of C$0.17 for a period of 36 months from the date of issuance.

The Offering is expected to close on or about June 21, 2021, and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

About Omai Gold Mines Corp.
Early prospectors identified Guyana’s vast mineral wealth 130 years ago, and at the heart of the country’s gold mining history is the Omai mine: a multi-million-ounce deposit that was once South America’s largest producing gold mine. We’re building on this past success with new tools, relationships and vision to bring this under-explored gold district back to life, providing a unique opportunity for all stakeholders to participate in value creation.

Avalon Gold Exploration Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Omai Gold Mines Corp., holds a 100% interest in the Omai Prospecting License covering 4,590 acres, including the past producing Omai gold mine.
