Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On June 6, 2014, Midway Gold Corp. (the “Company” or “we”) closed a public offering in the United States and Canada on a bought deal basis (the “Offering”) of 30,121,000 of the Company’s common shares (the “Offered Shares”) at a price of $0.83 per Offered Share (the “Offering Price”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $25,000,430. Pursuant to the Company’s Articles and Notice of Articles, the Company may not issue common shares in an equity financing for a per common share price less than $1.85 per common share without the consent of the holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Shares (the “Series A Preferred Shareholders”).

On May 14, 2014, we obtained the consent (the “Consent”) of the Series A Preferred Shareholders with respect to the issuance of the Offered Shares in connection with the Offering. As consideration for obtaining the Consent and to compensate the Series A Preferred Shareholders for the dilution that they suffered as a result of the Offering, we agreed to issue 3,434,475 common shares (the “Fee Shares”) to the Series A Preferred Shareholders which represents a consent fee equal to $2,850,613, at a deemed price per Fee Share equal to the Offering Price.

Concurrently with the Closing of the Offering, we issued the Fee Shares to the Series A Preferred Shareholders. The Fee Shares were not issued as part of the Offering and have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”). The issuance of the Fee Shares was exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the U.S. Securities Act. The Series A Preferred Shareholders are institutional “accredited investors” (as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the U.S. Securities Act).
