TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Nov. 12, 2015) - Oban Mining Corporation (TSX:OBM) ("Oban") agreed to acquire, pursuant to a debenture purchase agreement with Pinetree Resources Partnership, ownership of a Series A Secured Convertible Debenture (the "Convertible Debenture") of ValGold Resources Inc. ("ValGold") in the principal amount of $50,000, with a one-year term maturing on December 1, 2015 (the "Maturity Date") and an annual interest rate of 10.0%, for total consideration of $55,000 (the "Debenture Acquisition").
The Convertible Debenture will entitle Oban, until the Maturity Date, to convert the principal amount of $50,000 plus accrued interest of $5,000 (expected on the Maturity Date) into 1,100,000 ValGold Shares (assuming a conversion price of $0.05 per ValGold Share), representing approximately 2.8% of the outstanding ValGold Shares (on a partially-diluted basis giving effect to the conversion of the Convertible Debenture).
As previously announced, on November 5, 2015, Oban acquired ownership of 7,000,000 ValGold Shares at a price of $0.01 per ValGold Share pursuant to a share purchase agreement with Pinetree Resources Partnership (the "Share Acquisition"). As a result of the Share Acquisition, Oban owns 7,000,000 ValGold Shares, representing approximately 18.3% of the total issued and outstanding ValGold Shares. In the event that the principal amount of $50,000 plus accrued interest of $5,000 (expected on the Maturity Date) on the Convertible Debenture is converted, Oban would have ownership over an additional 1,100,000 ValGold Shares. Following such conversion, Oban would hold, in the aggregate, 8,100,000 ValGold Shares, representing approximately 20.6% of the outstanding ValGold Shares (on a partially-diluted basis giving effect to the conversion of the Convertible Debenture).
The Convertible Debenture will be acquired by Oban for investment purposes. Other than the Convertible Debenture, Oban has no current intention of increasing its ownership of, or control or direction over, additional securities of ValGold. Oban may, from time to time, increase or decrease its ownership of ValGold Shares or other securities of ValGold depending on market and other conditions.
