Crowflight Announces Private Placement Financing
=======================================================================
CROWFLIGHT MINERALS INC. ("Crowflight" or the "Company") (TSX: CML)
announces today that it has entered into an agreement with Kingplace
Enterprises Limited ("Kingplace") for a Cdn$20 million private
placement financing, pursuant to which Kingplace has agreed to purchase
an aggregate of 80,000,000 common shares of the Company at a price of
$0.25 per share (the "Financing"). The pricing of the shares is at an
approximate 20% premium to the five day volume weighted average trading
price of the Company's shares on the TSX and at a 19% premium to the
closing price on Friday, September 18, 2009. The financing is expected
to close in two tranches, with the first tranche to close in
approximately one week and the second scheduled to close in October,
2009.
Kingplace is a private British Virgin Island company controlled by
Chinese businessman, Shaofeng Ge. Kingplace is seeking strategic
investments in mining opportunities. Kingplace approached the Company
through Hebei Wenfeng Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. ("Hebei Wenfeng"), a
significant Chinese steel producing company. Hebei Wenfeng initially
approached Crowflight to express its interest in potentially making
either an offer to acquire the outstanding shares of Crowflight or a
strategic investment in Crowflight. Following initial discussions, it
was determined that this strategic investment would be made by
Kingplace. Crowflight understands that, while Kingplace and Hebei
Wenfeng are not affiliated entities, they may act jointly or in concert
with each other from time to time in respect of investments, which may
in the future include further investments in Crowflight. The Crowflight
Board of Directors is reviewing its strategic alternatives.
The primary purpose of the proceeds from the Financing will be for the
continued development of the Bucko Lake Project and the balance for
general corporate purposes.
The Financing is subject to TSX approval.
