Wallbridge Mining Announces Closing of Private Placement to Advance BC Property
TORONTO, Aug. 20 /CNW/ - Wallbridge Mining Company Limited (TSX:WM, FWB:
WC7) (the "Corporation" and "Wallbridge") is pleased to announce that it has
completed a private placement of an aggregate of 1,300,000 units in the
capital of the Corporation (the "Units"), at $0.27 (Canadian) per Unit,
raising aggregate proceeds of $351,000 (collectively, the "Offering").
Wallbridge will use the funds raised to accelerate the pace of work on its
Rogers Creek porphyry copper-gold project in southwestern BC.
Commenting on the placement, Alar Soever President of Wallbridge stated:
"This placement allows us to expand the work program on the Rogers Creek
porphyry copper-gold property in response to early results which indicate the
presence of sizable alteration zones along with elevated gold and copper
values. While it is too early to be able to fully evaluate the significance of
the early results, this placement will allow us to expand the program to
complete this evaluation. We are pleased to be able to accelerate our work
program at a time when many other companies are curtailing theirs. We will
continue our philosophy of aggressive exploration while tailoring the size of
placements to the immediate needs of our programs, in order to minimize
dilution during this period of relatively low valuations in the junior mining
sector. "
The Offering was placed through the facilities of Raymond James Ltd., and
is subject to final approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"). The
Units were sold at $0.27 (Canadian) per Unit with each Unit being comprised of
one common share issued as a "flow-through share" as defined in the Income Tax
Act (Canada) (a "Flow-Through Unit Share") and one-half of one non
flow-through common share purchase warrant (each full common share purchase
warrant hereinafter referred to as a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the
holder thereof to purchase one additional common share of the Corporation
(each a "Warrant Share"), such Warrant Shares to be issued as follows: (i) to
the extent such Warrant is exercised during the first 12 month period from the
closing date (the "Closing Date"), one Warrant share at $0.80 (Canadian) per
share, and (ii) to the extent such Warrant is exercised after the end of the
first 12 month period from the Closing Date and on or before the end of the
second 12 month period from the Closing Date, one Warrant Share at
$1.00 (Canadian) per share.
99.9% of the gross proceeds of the Units sold under the Offering will be
used for Canadian exploration expenses (within the meaning of the Income Tax
Act (Canada)) (the "Tax Act") which qualify as "flow-through mining
expenditures" for purposes of the Tax Act related to the Corporation's
exploration projects in British Columbia, Canada. The Corporation will
renounce such Canadian exploration expenses with an effective date of no later
than December 31, 2008.
The Qualified Person responsible for the technical content of this press
release is Alar Soever P.Geo, President of Wallbridge Mining Company Limited.
