VANCOUVER, BRITISH
COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Oct. 18, 2007) - UC Resources Ltd. ("UC"
or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE:UC) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with
PowerOne Capital Markets Limited ("PowerOne") pursuant to which
PowerOne has agreed to offer on a best-efforts private placement basis (the
"Offering") up to 5,777,778 units of the Company at $0.45 per
unit and up to 3,000,000 flow-through units at $0.50 for aggregate gross
proceeds of a maximum of $4,100,000. Each unit consists of one common share
of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each
flow-through unit consists of one flow-through common share of the Company
and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole common share
purchase warrant is exercisable for one common share of the Company at a
price of $0.70 for a period of 24 months after the closing of the Offering
subject to the right of the Company to accelerate the expiry date of the
warrants, on not less than 30 days prior written notice, if the closing
price of the common shares of the Company is at least $1.50 per share for
any period not less than 30 consecutive trading days.
PowerOne will receive a commission equal to 8.0% of the gross proceeds from
the sale of the Offering, payable in cash or units of the Offering, at the
election of PowerOne. PowerOne will also be granted broker units (the
"Broker Units") equal in number to 10% of the number of units and
flow-through units sold under the Offering at $0.45 per Broker Unit. Each
Broker Unit will have the same characteristics as the units in the
Offering.
UC will also be independently undertaking a private financing of up to
$250,000 units of flow-through units and up to $250,000 units of
non-flow-through with the same terms, as stated above.
The net proceeds of the Offering would be used for a targeted and
aggressive exploration program at McFauld's Lake
in the James Bay Lowlands of Ontario. Due to the recent significant
discoveries by Noront Resources, the Company will be utilizing the proceeds
to target similar anomalies on its properties at McFauld's 1 & 3, and
McFauld's West, as well as to fund its ongoing operations in Mexico.
The Agreement and the Offering are subject to receipt of all necessary
approvals, including regulatory and stock exchange approvals. The closing
of the Offering is expected to occur on or about November 15, 2007.
"PowerOne Capital Markets has an impressive history and a stellar
reputation in the financing of leading Canadian mining companies. They have
a worldwide network of contacts that they have built during their history,
and UC is looking forward to a strong, long-term relationship," says
Brian Gusko, UC's Chief Financial Officer.
