TORONTO, July 14, 2020 /CNW/ – Karora Resources Inc. (TSX: KRR) (“Karora” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce that Eric Sprott has agreed to increase his ownership in Karora by 26 million shares. In a strategic move, Karora has worked alongside Maverix Metals Inc. (“Maverix”) to effectively place the entire planned share issuance previously announced June 30, 2020 (see Karora news release dated June 30, 2020).
In lieu of issuing shares to Maverix, Karora will use the proceeds from total of 36.5 million common shares to be issued to Eric Sprott and one other institutional investor to complete the previously announced Maverix transaction with an all-cash consideration of US$18 million (subject to the conditions described in the Karora news release dated June 30, 2020). The shares of Karora to be issued to Mr. Sprott and the institutional investor will be issued at the same $0.506 price per share that had been agreed with Maverix. Subject to completion of the transactions, no common shares of Karora will be issued to Maverix.
Paul Andre Huet, Chairman & CEO of Karora, commented: “I am very excited that Eric Sprott, a highly influential and well-known leader in the resource investment community and one of the world’s premiere gold and silver investors, has significantly increased his investment in Karora. This investment is a strong endorsement of the confidence Mr. Sprott has in both our execution over the past year and our plans to unlock the value of our Western Australian gold mining assets.”
In total, Karora intends to issue 36.5 million common shares, made up of 26 million shares to Eric Sprott and the balance expected to be to another institutional investor. The completion of this investment transaction is subject to the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange and other customary conditions. A cash finder’s fee will be payable to certain third parties in connection with this private placement of Karora shares.

Cautionary Statement Regarding the Higginsville Mining Operations
A production decision at the Higginsville gold operations was made by previous operators of the mine, prior to the completion of the acquisition of the Higginsville gold operations by Karora and Karora made a decision to continue production subsequent to the acquisition. This decision by Karora to continue production and, to the knowledge of Karora, the prior production decision were not based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves, demonstrating economic and technical viability, and, as a result, there may be an increased uncertainty of achieving any particular level of recovery of minerals or the cost of such recovery, which include increased risks associated with developing a commercially mineable deposit. Historically, such projects have a much higher risk of economic and technical failure. There is no guarantee that anticipated production costs will be achieved. Failure to achieve the anticipated production costs would have a material adverse impact on the Corporation’s cash flow and future profitability. Readers are cautioned that there is increased uncertainty and higher risk of economic and technical failure associated with such production decisions.
