VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Apr 25, 2014) - Copper North Mining Corp. ("Copper North" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:COL) announces that it has closed a non-brokered private placement, which included certain insiders of the Company, of 13,180,000 units of the Company (the "Units") at a price of $0.05 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $659,000 (the "Private Placement").
Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company (a "Share") and one non-transferable common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional Share at a price of $0.07 until April 24, 2016.
All securities issued and issuable as part of the Private Placement are subject to a hold period of four (4) months and one day and as such may not be traded until August 25, 2014.
The Company intends to use the proceeds to complete the review of gold and silver recovery at the Carmacks Copper Project and for general working capital purposes. The review of gold and silver recovery at the Carmacks Copper Project is progressing and a preliminary evaluation is nearing completion.
Harlan Meade, President and CEO of the Company, purchased 500,000 Units under the Private Placement. His participation in the Private Placement constitutes a "related party transaction" as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). This transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of any securities issued to, nor the consideration paid by, such directors and officers exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Private Placement as the details of the participation therein by related parties of the Company were not settled until shortly prior to closing of the Private Placement and the Company wished to close on an expedited basis for sound business reasons.
