Reunion Gold Closes a C$7.46 Million Non-Brokered Private Placement

Reunion Gold Corporation (“

Reunion

” or the “

Company

”) (TSX-V: RGD) is pleased to announce, further to its news releases of April 19, 2021 and April 27, 2021, that it has closed its non-brokered private placement (the “

Placement

”) resulting in gross proceeds of C$7,461,265. The Placement consisted of the issuance of 114,788,691 units (the “

Units

”) at a price of C$0.065 per Unit. Each Unit consisted of one common share of the Company (a “

Share

”) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "

Warrant

"), with each Warrant exercisable to acquire one Share at C$0.12 per Share until May 18, 2023.

In connection with the Placement, the Company paid cash finder’s fees in the aggregate amount of C$371,565 and issued a total of 5,353,385 finder’s warrants (the “Finder’s Warrants”). The Finder’s Warrants have the same terms as the Warrants issued under the Placement.

All securities issued in the Placement are subject to a hold period expiring on September 19, 2021.

The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Placement for exploration work to continue trenching and drilling at the Oko West Project in Guyana and for other general working capital purposes. The Placement is subject to final acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange upon filing of final documentation.

Certain insiders of the Company acquired Units in the Placement. The participation by such insiders in the Placement constitutes a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). Such participations are exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 based on the fact that neither the fair market value of the shares subscribed for by the insiders, nor the consideration for the shares paid by such insiders, would exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

The Company’s previously announced brokered private placement (the “Brokered Offering”) of units on the same terms as the Units for gross proceeds of up to approximately C$3 million is expected to close on May 21, 2021. Additional details regarding the Brokered Offering are provided in the Company’s news release dated April 27, 2021, copies of which are available on the Company’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
