Non-Brokered Offering Terms and Pan American Silver's Participation

Under the upsized non-brokered private placement, Galleon Gold will issue up to 6,250,000 common shares to Pan American Silver at the offer price of $1.12 per share. The final number of shares issued will depend on the extent to which the over-allotment option under the concurrent bought deal offering is exercised, with the two transactions set to close concurrently.

Securities issued to Pan American will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the closing date under applicable Canadian securities laws.

Related Party Designation and MI 61-101 Exemptions

The release states that Pan American Silver is considered a related party of Galleon Gold under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 — Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions, meaning the non-brokered offering constitutes a related party transaction. The company disclosed it is relying on exemptions from both the formal valuation requirement and the minority shareholder approval requirement under MI 61-101, on the basis that the fair market value of the transaction does not exceed 25% of the company's market capitalisation as determined under that instrument. Shares will be issued under exemptions from prospectus and U.S. Securities Act registration requirements.

West Cache Gold Project and Planned Use of Proceeds

Galleon Gold has indicated that gross proceeds from the non-brokered offering will be directed toward advancement of the West Cache Gold Project, alongside working capital and general corporate purposes. The company describes its strategy at West Cache as centred on resource growth and an 86,500-tonne bulk sample program. The combined financing, if fully completed, is intended to support these near-term operational priorities. The immediate share price impact was not clear from available public information.
