June 10 2010 - 10:49AM
Marketwired
Glass Earth Limited (TSX VENTURE: GEL)(NZAX: GEL) ("Glass Earth")
is pleased to announce the completion of the second and final
tranche of a non-brokered private placement previously announced on
April 29, 2010.
Simon Henderson, President and CEO commented, "This year, so
far, has been very gratifying. We have been operating our placer
gold mining site at McAdies since December 2009, from which gold
sales are offsetting our G & A expenses, for the most part. As
a result, the private placement funds we have raised will be
predominantly spent on the ground, drilling four identified and
ready to drill targets. We are planning a 27-drill hole program at
Muirs Reef to confirm and hope to expand its historical non NI
43-101 resource of 390,000 oz @ 1.5 g/t Au. Elsewhere in the South
Island, we will drill three other targets that we believe have
'game-changing' potential for our Company."
In the final tranche a total of 4,981,500 units (the "Units") at
a price of C$0.20 per Unit were issued, for gross proceeds of
C$996,300. Each Unit consists of one common share priced at C$0.20
and one share purchase warrant; each warrant entitling the holder
to purchase one additional common share at a price of C$0.35
expiring two years from the closing date.
All the securities are subject to a 4-month hold period and may
not be traded until October 8, 2010.
Combined with the first tranche, Glass Earth issued a total of
13,650,500 Units for a total cash consideration of $2,730,100. The
Company now has 46,335,026 common shares issued and outstanding;
63,822,526 fully diluted.
As mentioned, the proceeds from the financing will be used to
complement cash generated from the Company's placer mining
operations and for drilling, exploration and development
purposes.
The Company also announces that, pursuant to an agreement dated
April 21, 2010, it has agreed to issue 100,000 common shares to an
arm's length lender for loaning the Company NZ$100,000 (approx.
C$79,780) on an interest free basis. The loan is to be repaid to
the lender, without interest, on or before September 30, 2010 and
the shares are to be issued in lieu of interest on the loan. The
issuance of the shares to the lender is subject to acceptance by
the TSX Venture Exchange.
