Marketwired
AndeanGold Ltd. ("the Company" or "AndeanGold") (TSX VENTURE: AAU)
is pleased to announce that the Company has closed the final
tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement
("Placement") (news releases of September 23, 2010 and October 8,
2010). Under the Placement, the Company issued a total of
12,500,000 units ("Units") at a price of $0.12 per Unit to raise
aggregate gross proceeds of $1,500,000. Each Unit is comprised of
one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant.
Each whole warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one
additional common share for one year from the respective closing
date of each tranche at a price of $0.20.
Pursuant to the second tranche of the Placement, the Company
issued an aggregate of 8,750,000 Units to raise aggregate gross
proceeds of $1,050,000. The first tranche of the Placement closed
on October 8, 2010 and involved the issuance of an aggregate of
3,751,000 Units to raise aggregate gross proceeds of $450,000.
In accordance with applicable securities laws and the policies
of the TSX Venture Exchange, the Company paid finders' fees with
respect to portions of the Placement, amounting to $71,645 in cash
commissions and the issuance of 597,041 warrants, each warrant
entitling the holder to purchase one additional common share for
one year from the respective closing date of each tranche at a
price of $0.20.
The Company also paid a corporate finance fee with respect to
the Placement in the form of an option to purchase up to 10% of the
number of Units sold at a price of $0.12 per Unit for a period of
30 days following the closing. This option has been exercised,
resulting in the issuance of an additional 1,000,000 Units, for
gross proceeds of $120,000. Thus, in connection with the overall
Placement, the Company issued an aggregate of 13,500,000 Units to
raise aggregate gross proceeds of $1,620,000.
All securities issued in the Placement will be subject to a
four-month hold period from the Closing of the Placement.
The Placement remains subject to the receipt of final acceptance
from the TSX Venture Exchange.
The proceeds of the Placement will be used principally to fund a
Phase I drill program on the Company's Urumalqui Project in Peru
and for general working capital purposes.
About AndeanGold Ltd.:
AndeanGold Ltd. is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and
potential development of primarily precious metals properties,
principally in Peru and Ecuador. The focus of the Company's
exploration activities is presently in advancing its Urumalqui
Project, as well as pursuing mineral property acquisitions, in
Peru. In Ecuador, the Company's activities have been limited to
administrative and legal matters due to the Mining Mandate issued
by the Ecuador Constituent Assembly on April 18, 2008. In November
2009, President Correa signed the Mining Regulations into law
pursuant to the requirements of the new Mines Law, which was passed
in January 2009. This was the final legal precursor to the
re-initiation of exploration and mining development in Ecuador. The
Company has been issued new mining titles under the new Mines law
to its three key Ecuadorian projects and has filed the requisite
documents with the Ministry of Non-Renewable Natural Resources and
Ministry of Environment in support of the Company's request to
renew exploration programs on its key projects in Ecuador. The
Company is actively working with government officials to achieve
this end.
