Medoro Resources Announces Private Placement with Gold Fields
/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN
THE UNITED STATES/
TORONTO, May 4 /CNW/ - Medoro Resources Ltd. (TSX-V/AIM: MRL) announced
today that it has agreed with a subsidiary of Gold Fields Ltd. to a private
placement of 16,479,000 subscription receipts at a price of $0.20. Each
subscription receipt, upon exercise, will convert into units of the company,
with each unit consisting of one share and one-half of a share purchase
warrant. Each whole warrant will be exercisable at a price of $0.40 for two
years from the closing of the placement. The private placement is subject to
regulatory approval and is expected to close shortly.
In conjunction with the private placement, Gold Fields and Medoro have
agreed to enter into an agreement regarding an area of mutual of interest.
Medoro has agreed that within this area, which encompasses part of the El
Callao region of Venezuela, including the Lo Increible 4A and 4B properties,
it will not joint venture or dispose of any property to which it has rights
without first offering the opportunity to Gold Fields.
The funds from the private placement will be used for exploration
activities on the Lo Increible properties, and will remain in escrow until the
completion of the previously announced proposed acquisition of Panwest Seas
Corporation Ltd., which holds the rights to those properties. If the
acquisition of Panwest and the Lo Increible properties is approved by Medoro
shareholders, upon completion of the acquisition, Gold Fields will own
approximately 9.9% of Medoro's issued and outstanding capital.
The Company intends to apply to have the common shares issuable as part
of the units and the common shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants
forming part of the units listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and admitted to
trading on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) of the London Stock
Exchange plc.
Medoro Resources is a gold exploration and development company focused on
gold opportunities in Italy and elsewhere.
