The company said each unit will consist of one share and one half of one non-transferable common share purchase warrant, with each one exercisable to purchase one share at a price of $0.70 for a period of two years from the issue date.

HighGold said investor Rob McEwen purchased 2,222,200 Units (or C$1 million) through his wholly-owned company, Evanachan Limited, for 10.1% of HighGold on a partially diluted basis.

"With exceptional exploration assets, healthy treasury, quality shareholder list, and strong board of directors and management team, HighGold is well positioned for success,” said CEO Darwin Green.

“We look forward to providing the market with meaningful updates on the results of the exploration program at the company's flagship Johnson Tract gold project (in Alaska), which is currently underway."

Proceeds from the private placement will be used to fund exploration and development of HighGold's mineral properties, as well as for general working capital and other corporate purposes.
