The Company closed the first tranche of $500,000 on December 31, 2013 and has raised a total of $1,250,000 through the issue of 5,000,000 Units in the combined first and second tranches. The placement of Units was over-subscribed by $250,000.

In the second tranche, the Company paid cash finders' fees totalling $47,600 and issued a total of 120,400 finders' units, each comprised of one common share of the Company and one-half of one non-transferable share purchase warrant having the same terms as the subscribers' Warrants.

The Company intends to expend the proceeds raised from the private placement on exploration of the Covas, Borralha and Vale das Gatas tungsten projects in northern Portugal, and for general working capital purposes.
