Rambler Continues Its Investment in Marathon Gold

TORONTO, Aug. 5, 2014 /CNW/ - Marathon Gold Corporation ("Marathon" or the "Company") (TSX: MOZ) is pleased to announce that Rambler Metals and Mining plc (TSXV: RAB, AIM: RMM) has exercised the first of four subscription rights to acquire Marathon common shares under the terms of a subscription agreement dated December 3, 2013 and previously announced on December 4, 2013.

The issuance of Marathon's common shares by way of a non-brokered private placement generated proceeds of $375,000 and cumulative proceeds of $875,000, with Rambler holding rights to invest an additional $1,125,000 in three quarterly tranches of $375,000 expiring on April 30, 2015.  Post-subscription, Rambler holds a total of 2,734,258 shares of Marathon, representing 3.98% of the issued and outstanding shares.

The terms of this financing are set out below:

  • Rambler subscribed to purchase 760,340 common shares at a price of $0.4932 per share, for total proceeds of $375,000.  The share price for this subscription, which closed on August 5, 2014, represents a 10% discount to the 5-day volume-weighted average price ("VWAP") of Marathon's shares on the trading day prior to Rambler providing notice to subscribe.

  • Marathon has granted Rambler rights to purchase additional shares in quarterly tranches of up to $375,000 per tranche from August 1, 2014 through to April 30, 2015 (the "Rights"), representing potential additional proceeds of $1,125,000.  The pricing applicable to all investments pursuant to the Rights will be a 10% discount to the greater of the 60- and  5-day VWAP's ending on the day prior to Rambler giving notice of its intention to subscribe these shares.

  • There are no finder's fees or other costs associated with this financing.

Phillip Walford, President and CEO of Marathon Gold commented,

"We are pleased with the continued investment by Rambler Metals and Mining in Marathon Gold. We share the same ideas about the potential of the Valentine Lake Property. Rambler's previous investments have been very timely in assisting Marathon in our exploration on the Valentine Lake Property. This financing along with the recently announced $ 3 million bought deal financing will enable Marathon to begin drilling on the Sprite and Rainbow targets on August 7.

Norman Williams, President and CEO of Rambler Metals and Mining commented,

"This continued investment into Marathon, and their flagship Valentine Lake Project, is on the back of very impressive trenching results.  This region of the Newfoundland is shaping up to be an emerging gold district with much of Marathon's land package still underexplored.

The Marathon team continues to execute a focused exploration program that has the potential to add new high grade ounces into an already robust NI43-101 resource estimate.  We are pleased to be provided this opportunity to invest in Marathon and support advancing this project through further Diamond drilling and an economic evaluation."

The Open Pit Resource is Measured 3.5 million tonnes containing 247,000 oz Au, and Indicated 6.2 million tonnes containing 412,000 oz Au, and Inferred 1.2 million tonnes at 1.82 g/t Au containing 71,000 oz Au. The Underground Resource is Measured 108,000 tonnes containing 17,000 oz Au, and Indicated 764,000 tonnes containing 100,000 oz Au, and Inferred 349,000 tonnes containing 69,000 oz Au.

The Victory Gold Deposit (formerly Valentine East Hill) has an Open Pit Resource (refer to August 1, 2013 news release). The Open Pit Resource is Indicated 761,000 tonnes containing 41,000 oz Au, and Inferred 199,000 tonnes containing 9,000 oz Au. Both deposits are open to expansion.
