HALIFAX, June 12, 2014 /CNW/ - NWest Energy Corp. (the "Company") (TSXV: NWN) announces that it has amended the terms of the non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") previously announced on May 1, 2014. The Private Placement will now consist of units ("Units") consisting of one common share in the capital of the Company (each a "Common Share") and one warrant to purchase a Common Share (each, a "Warrant"). The Company will offer up to 4,853,333 Units at a price of $0.06 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $275,000.

Finders will be entitled to a commission consisting of (i) a payment in cash equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds received from the sale of the Units to a subscriber identified by such finder and (ii) that number of warrants ("Finder's Warrants") which is equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of Units to a subscriber identified by such finder divided by the exercise price of a Finder's Warrant. The Finder's Warrants will be exercisable on the same terms as the Warrants.
Net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used for working capital and ongoing operations to identify opportunities for the Company.
The Private Placement is expected to close on or about June 18, 2014 and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals including the approval and acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.
