[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 7, 2020) - Provenance Gold Corp. (CSE: PAU) (FSE: 3PG) (the \"Company\") announces that it has closed its financing with a lead order from Palisades Goldcorp and has initiated a geological mapping and sampling program at its White Rock gold property in Elko County, Nevada. The Company is planning a drilling program to confirm the historical results and gold controls at White Rock. Drilling is expected to include close spaced and new step out drilling in order to quickly develop Provenance's understanding of the property. The Company hopes to begin drilling as early as October. The Company recently acquired the White Rock gold property from Ely Gold Royalties, Inc. The property shows strong potential to contain a major gold system based on past historic drilling results The Company believes the White Rock property hosts a large shallow gold system (1700m by 2400m) based on extensive rock and soil assays and 62 widely scattered drill holes that intersected thick zones of shallow gold mineralization. Modeling of the drill information and surface sampling find that the thick zones of gold mineralization are within a coherent gold system that is controlled by both geological structures and host rock lithology. Because of the large size of the mineral system, the past exploration drilling only spot-tested the structures with distances between mineralized holes ranging from 66 meters (200 feet) to about 290 meters (900 feet). The Company is pleased to report the closing of its previously announced non-brokered private placement of 4,443,444 units (each, a \"Unit\") at a price of $0.09 per Unit for gross proceeds of $399,910. The placement received a lead order from Palisades Goldcorp Ltd., a strategic institutional investor. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Issuer and one common share purchase warrant (each, a \"Warrant\") with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one additional common share (each, a \"Warrant Share\") of the Issuer at a price of $0.15 per Warrant Share until August 6, 2025. The Company will also issue 1,000,000 common shares to an arms-length third-party in consideration for certain consulting obligations and work associated with the Company's land acquisitions and option agreements in Nevada.
