Silver
Spruce Resources Inc. Announces Extension of Non-brokered Private Placement of
Super Flow-Through and Non- Flow-Through Units
Spruce Resources Inc. (TSXV: SSE) ("Silver Spruce") is extending the
closing date of the proposed, non-brokered, flow-through and non flow-through private placement of up to a combined
20,000,000 units for gross proceeds of $1,000,000 (the "Offering").
The closing date of the private placement is now scheduled for December
28, 2012.
�The reason for the extension is the unprecedented selling pressure generated
by one of our major shareholders since the announcement of the proposed
financing which has reduced the stock price below the price of the private
placement. It appears that most of the institutional selling has been completed
and it is hoped, since our project portfolio hasn�t changed, that the market
will better reflect the share value that the management and directors of Silver
Spruce believe is there and the financing can be completed at the price
indicated. The majority of our shareholders have trusted us enough
to buy our shares well above the current market price, on the strength of our
property portfolio that has improved over the last year,� said Peter Dimmell, President and CEO of Silver Spruce. �We have
an obligation to them to explore all options before we make any changes to the
current offering, including joint venture opportunities�.
Each flow-through unit (collectively, "Super FT Units") of Silver
Spruce will meet the criteria under the Mineral Exploration Tax Credit as
�Super Flow-Through� and will be offered at a price of $0.05 per Super FT
Unit. Each Super FT Unit will consist of one flow-through common
share and one half of one common share purchase warrant. The warrants will
expire three years after the closing of the Offering, with each whole warrant
exercisable prior to such date for one common share at a price of $0.10 per
common share during the first eighteen months after issuance and $0.20 per
common share thereafter.
Each non flow-through unit (the �NFT Units�) of Silver Spruce will be offered
at a price of $0.05 per NFT Unit, and consist of one common share and one full
share purchase warrant. The warrants will expire three years after the closing
of the Offering, with each warrant exercisable prior to such date for one
common share at a price of $0.10 per common share during the first eighteen
months after issuance and $0.20 per common share thereafter.
A finder's fee may be paid on the Offering of up to 7% of the proceeds of the
Offering, payable in cash or through the issuance of common shares valued at
$0.05 per common share.
The proceeds raised from the issuance of the FT units will be used for
exploration expenditures on Silver Spruce's Newfoundland and Labrador projects,
mainly the Big Easy gold/silver property. The proceeds from the NFT Units
will be used as working capital and for exploration if required.
All Super Flow Through shares issued shall constitute Canadian
exploration expenses as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) and shall be
renounced for the 2012 taxation year.
All securities issued in connection with the Offering shall be subject to a
four-month hold period in accordance with applicable securities requirements.
The Offering is subject to fulfillment of the requirements of the TSX Venture
Exchange.
