Kingston, Ontario, August 31, 2009 - Murgor Resources Inc. (MGR: TSX-V) has completed its previously-announced private placement to China Nonferrous Metals Exploration Corp. ("CNME") by issuing 8,100,000 common shares to CNME at a price of $0.10 per share, for proceeds to Murgor of $810,000. As a result of the private placement, CNME now holds a 14.95% interest in Murgor Resources.
" We are very pleased with this investment by CNME ", stated Andr� Tessier, President and CEO of Murgor. " This is more than a simple investment, this is a new partnership with CNME from which Murgor should greatly benefit in the future.. We are thrilled that CNME recognizes the value of Murgor's copper-gold and zinc deposits in Canada's Flin Flon belt. We will explore ways to move these projects to the development stage as quickly as possible after Murgor makes its final payments to Hudbay Minerals Inc. for the Hudvam and Wim deposits on September 12, 2009 . "
" We are pleased to be making this initial investment in Murgor Resources ", said Mr. Nick Zeng, a CNME director, China Mining Investment Expert and Executive Director of the China Mining Association of Canada. " This is CNME's first investment in a Canadian public company and we feel that Murgor's advanced Wim and Hudvam deposits, along with its significant prospective land package, represent great development and exploration opportunities. We look forward to continuing to build our relationship with Murgor ."
Murgor will use the proceeds from the private placement primarily for working capital and corporate purposes.
The Subscription Agreement between Murgor and CNME provides that in the event that Murgor in future issues any common shares or securities convertible into common shares, CNME has the right, subject to limited exceptions, to purchase such securities on a pro rata basis, so that CNME may maintain its 14.95% interest in Murgor.
