Eloro Completes $3,000,000 Financing with MineralFields Group
Toronto, Canada: December 7, 2007 - Eloro Resources Ltd. (ELO: TSX Venture Exchange) (the "Company" or "Eloro") is pleased to announce that it has completed its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") with the MineralFields Group of 5,000,000 Flow-Through Units (the "Units") issued on a "flow-through" basis under the Income Tax Act (Canada) at a price of 60 cents per Unit, for gross proceeds to the Company of $3,000,000. This represents the fifth "flow-through" private placement financing that Eloro is completing with MineralFields Group, having now completed five placements since December 2005 at price levels ranging from $0.17 to $0.80 for aggregate proceeds to Eloro totaling $5,750,000.
Each Unit consists of one common share (the "Common Shares") issued on a "flow-through" basis under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and one half of one common share purchase warrant of the Company (the "Unit Warrants"). Each Unit Warrant has a term of 24 months (the "Term") and will entitle the holder to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.90 per share in the first year of the Term and $1.10 in the second year of the Term. Pursuant to the Private Placement, if the average closing price of the Common Shares is over $1.10 for a period of 20 consecutive trading days (following the expiry of the hold period) in the first year of the Term, or $1.30 in the second year of the Term, the Unit Warrants must be exercised within ten business days of receiving written notice from Eloro or they are to be terminated.
In connection with the Private Placement, the Company paid a finder's fee of $120,000 to Limited Market Dealer Inc. ("LMD"), an arm's length party, equal to 4% of the completed Private Placement, and issued 50,000 common shares of the Company at a deemed value of $0.60 per share or $30,000 in aggregate, equal to 1% of the completed Private Placement. Further, the Company issued 500,000 finder's fee share purchase warrants to LMD, entitling LMD to purchase 500,000 common shares of the Company on the same terms as the Unit Warrants.
The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used to finance continued exploration programs at Eloro's projects located in the James Bay District of northern Quebec and the Hurdman Silver-Zinc-Gold Property in Ontario. The Private Placement is subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange. All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement will subject to a four month hold period.
"We are very pleased to be completing yet another financing with MineralFields Group", said Thomas Larsen, Eloro's President and CEO. "This is an important milestone in the growth of Eloro and we look forward to working with MineralFields Group as we develop our holdings both in the James Bay district of Quebec and in northern Ontario."
