Wallbridge Mining Announces Closing of Second Tranche of Private Placement
TORONTO, Sept. 2 /CNW/ - Wallbridge Mining Company Limited (TSX:WM, FWB:
WC7) (the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that it has completed a second
tranche of a non-brokered private placement of an aggregate of 1,800,000 units
in the capital of the Corporation (the "Units") at $0.27 (Canadian) per Unit
raising aggregate proceeds of $486,000 (collectively, the "Offering"). The
Corporation will use approximately 30% of the funds raised to accelerate the
pace of work on its Rogers Creek porphyry copper-gold project in southwestern
BC and approximately 70% of the funds raised on its Ontario projects.
Commenting on the placement Alar Soever, President of Wallbridge stated,
"This placement is in keeping with our philosophy of advancing our projects,
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 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.
