WHITE ROCK, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 31, 2022 / TDG Gold Corp (TSXV:TDG) (the "Company" or "TDG") is pleased to announce that Talisker Resources Ltd. ("Talisker") has entered into share purchase agreements (the "Purchase Agreements") with certain insiders to TDG, including a new independent director, Michael Kosowan, who was appointed to TDG's board on October 28, 2022. The Purchase Agreements provide for the sale to such insiders of Talisker's remaining 8,538,151 common shares of TDG ("Shares"), which are subject to escrow until December 2023. Following closing of the purchases pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, which is expected to occur on or about November 14, 2022, TDG's directors and officers will collectively own ~13.4% of TDG's issued and outstanding Shares.
Michael Kosowan is an industry expert with over 20 years experience in junior mining. He is a qualified mining engineer (P.Eng) that has worked as a project engineer for a number of mining companies including Falconbridge, Placer Dome and Inco. From 2000, Michael led financings in the U.S. and Canada through his work with Sprott Private Wealth and Sprott Global Resources Inc. Since 2017, Michael has worked with junior mining issuers as a principal, director and officer including his current ongoing involvement with Torq Resources Inc. as a director and VP of Capital Markets.
TDG also announces that the investor rights agreement that Talisker and TDG entered into when the Shares were issued was terminated in accordance with its terms on September 30, 2022, when Talisker ceased to hold 10% of the Shares. In connection with such termination, Terry Harbort and Matt Filgate, Talisker's two nominees to TDG's board, resigned effective October 28, 2022. TDG is pleased that both Terry and Matt will remain as advisors to the Company.
Fletcher Morgan, TDG's CEO, commented: "Michael brings industry and capital markets expertise to TDG's Board. He has had multiple successes and I look forward to working closely with him to focus TDG's delivery strategy for 2023 and beyond. Upon closing of the share purchases from Talisker, Michael will own ~7.5% of TDG's shares which will make him TDG's largest insider and provides an immediate alignment of interest with our existing shareholders.
On behalf of TDG, I would also like to extend my gratitude to Terry and Matt for their stewardship and technical advice since TDG first began negotiating in 2020 to acquire Talisker's portfolio of Toodoggone assets. We look forward to their ongoing strategic and geological input as TDG advances the exploration and development of our projects."
