Vancouver, British Columbia, July 20, 2017 – Telson Resources Inc. (“Telson” or the “Company”) (TSX Venture – TSN.V) is pleased to announce that it has closed the final tranche of the private placement as announced in a press release dated June 14, 2017 and accordingly has issued 1,732,691 shares at 55 cents per share, and paid an additional US$700,000 to Nyrstar Mining which concludes all payments that were currently due under the agreement terms as summarized in the former referenced press release.
The funding was received from Estratégica Corporativa en Finanzas, a related party of the Company. The related party is a significant shareholder with a control position in the Company, for which the Company previously received shareholder consent in late 2015, in accordance with TSXV policy. The issuance of private placement securities to a ‘non-arms’ length party also constitutes a related-party transaction under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”). Because the Company’s shares trade only on the TSXV, the issuance of securities is exempt from the formal valuation requirements of Section 5.4 of MI 61-101 pursuant to Subsection 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 and fits within an exemption from the minority approval requirements of Section 5.6 of MI 61-101.
