VANCOUVER,
Dec. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Freeport
Resources Inc. (TSXV-FRI) is pleased to announce closing of
the first tranche of a non-brokered private placement announced
last month. A total of $521,000
has been received from the issuance of 105,000 flow through shares
at $0.20 per share and 2,500,000
non-flow through shares at $0.20 per
share. These shares are subject to a four month hold period
expiring April 24, 2012.
Finders' fees in the amount of $25,000 cash are payable in connection with the
issuance of these shares. The second tranche is expected to
close by mid-January 2012. As
previously announced, Freeport
intends to raise up to $1,060,000
from issuance of up to 5,000,000 non-flow-through and 300,000
flow-through shares, at a price of $0.20 per share. Proceeds will be used to
further advance Freeport's
exploration programs in Canada and
meet ongoing working capital requirements.
Our 100% owned properties include the Hutton Garnet
Beaches, a high grade heavy mineral sands project advancing to the
production stage in NL, and three projects in BC: a) Spanish
Mountain Gold, immediately adjacent to and on strike with an
advanced stage, multi-million ounce gold project; b) The Q, a
large, advanced stage fluorspar deposit with associated
molybdenite, and; c) the Red Rose Mine, a past producing
tungsten-gold-copper mine, of increasing interest due to strong
tungsten demand and all-time highs up to $470/MTU (approx. $21.50/pound).
Freeport thanks
our friends and shareholders for their continued support, with best
wishes to all for the holiday season.
