Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - (April 14, 2022) – Gold State Resources Inc. (formerly Cyon Exploration Ltd.) (“Gold State” or the “Company”) (TSXV:GOST)| (OTC:CYNXF) | (FSE:C2YD) announces that it intends to complete a non-brokered private placement (the “Private Placement”) of unsecured convertible debenture units (the “Convertible Debenture Units”) at a price of $1,000 per Convertible Debenture Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $500,000. Each Convertible Debenture Unit will consist of $1,000 in principal of unsecured convertible debentures (the "Convertible Debentures") and 6,666 common share purchase warrants (the "Warrants") of the Company. 

The Convertible Debentures will mature ninety (90) days from the issue date (the “Maturity Date”) and bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payable on the Maturity Date. The debenture holders will have the right convert at any time prior to the Maturity Date, all or a portion of the Convertible Debentures into common shares (the “Shares”) of the Company at a price of $0.05 per Share.

Each Warrant will be exercisable to acquire one Share of the Company (a "Warrant Share") for a period of one year from the date of issue at an exercise price of $0.05 per Warrant Share, subject to adjustment in certain events. The Warrants are subject to an acceleration right exercisable by the Company at its option if, the closing trading price of the Shares is greater than $0.25 per Share for the preceding 10 consecutive trading days. If the Company provides notice that it intends to exercise its acceleration right, the accelerated expiry date of the Warrants (the “Accelerated Expiry Date”) will be the 30th calendar day following the date of such notice of exercise. In such instance, all Warrants not exercised prior to the Accelerated Expiry Date shall expire on the Accelerated Expiry Date.

All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to a statutory hold period expiring four months plus one day from closing. Completion of the Private Placement is subject to a number of conditions, including, without limitation, approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The proceeds of the Private Placement will be used for exploration of the Black Rock Canyon and Jumping Jack projects and for general working capital purposes.
