Item 3.02
Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities.
On June 23, 2015, Goldrich Mining Company (Goldrich or the Company) announced the Company has raised gross proceeds of $1.2 million through the sale of 12% of the cash flows Goldrich receives in the future from its interest in Goldrich NyacAU Placer, LLC (GNP) to Chandalar Gold, LLC (CGL), a non-related entity. Goldrich will retain its ownership of its 50% interest in GNP but, after the transaction, subject to the terms of the GNP operating agreement, Goldrich will effectively receive approximately 44% and CGL will receive 6% (12% of Goldrichs 50% of GNP = 6%) of any cash distributions produced by GNP.
GNP is a 50/50 joint-venture formed between Goldrich and NyacAU LLC (NyacAU) to mine the various placer deposits that occur throughout the Companys 23,000 acre Chandalar land package (Chandalar) in central Alaska. Commercial production of the Little Squaw placer deposit is on track to commence this year (see press release dated March 18, 2015).
According to the GNP operating agreement, on at least an annual basis, GNP shall allocate and distribute all revenue (whether in cash or as gold) generated from GNPs placer operation in the following order:
1.
Current year operating expenses,
2.
Members distribution of 20% (10% to Goldrich and 10% to NyacAU) provided that, for so long as the loan (LOC2) to GNP from NyacAU for the purchase of a royalty is not paid in full, GNP shall retain 100% of Goldrichs distribution to apply against the loan,
3.
After payment of operating expenses and the members distribution of 20%, GNP will apply any remaining revenue to reduce the remaining balance of the loan from NyacAU to GNP for the development of the mine (LOC1),
4.
Reserves for future operating expenses and capital needs, not to exceed $3,000,000 in any year, and
5.
Member distributions of any remaining gold production on a 50:50 basis to each of NyacAu and Goldrich provided that, for so long as LOC2 is not paid in full, GNP shall retain 100% of Goldrichs distribution to apply against the loan.
As part of the purchase, CGL also received 2,250,000 5-year warrants and an option to acquire an additional 10% of the cash flows Goldrich receives from its interest in GNP. Each warrant is exercisable to purchase one additional share of common stock of the Company at $0.07, for a period of five years.
The option must be exercised before July 1, 2016 to purchase an additional 10% of Goldrichs future cash flow in consideration of a one-time cash payment of $1.3 million. Subsequent to the exercise of the option and payment of all commissions, Goldrich would effectively receive, subject to the terms of the GNP operating agreement, approximately 38.5% and CGL would receive 11% (22% of Goldrichs 50% of GNP = 11%) of any cash distributions produced by GNP.
The lead placement agent for the offering received a commission equal to 5% of gross proceeds raised, was granted a perpetual undivided 0.5% interest in distributions paid out by GNP to Goldrich, and was issued 1.2 million warrants, each warrant exercisable into one common share of the Company for a period of five (5) years at a price of $0.05 per share. Should CGL exercise its option, the same fee structure would apply as above, including an additional 0.5% interest in distributions paid out by GNP to Goldrich.
Proceeds from the offering will be used for general working capital purposes and reclamation at Chandalar.
