Rogue Closes $2.07 Million First Tranche of Private Placement and Receives Approval to Proceed With the Acquisition of the Femelle Silica Project
The Company issued 2,230,000 Units (the "Units") and 15,418,668 flow through units (the "FT Units") for gross proceeds of $2,073,240. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company ("Common Share") and one common share purchase warrant ("NFT Warrant"). Each NFT Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.15 for 18 months following closing of the Offering. Each FT Unit consists of one Common Share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (the "FT Warrant"). Each whole FT Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.17 for 18 months following closing of the Offering. The proceeds from the issuance of the FT Shares will qualify as Canadian and/or Québec exploration expenses which will be renounced to investors no later than December 31, 2014. In addition to the Units and FT Units issued for gross proceeds of $2,073,240.
The Company also announces that as per the revised property agreement dated August 15, 2014, 8,500,000 Units were issued to Fiducie Ananke to complete the purchase of the Lac la de Grosse Femelle Silica Project ("Femelle Silica Project"), subject to final regulatory approval.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering primarily for expenditures on the Company's Femelle Silica Project and East-West Gold property in Quebec, its nickel and iron ore properties in Ontario, and for general working capital. A Quebec geological firm has been commissioned to prepare a NI43-101 Technical Report on the Femelle Silica Project which the Company anticipates will be completed in September 2014.
Total finder's fees of $140,226.81 were paid in conjunction with the Offering and 1,186,404 compensation warrants (the "Compensation Warrants") were granted. The Compensation Warrants entitle the holder to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.125 for 18 months following closing of the Offering. Secutor Capital Management Corp., an Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada member firm, placed $1,378,240 of the Offering.
All Common Shares issued and issuable hereunder (including those issuable upon the exercise of Warrants, FT Warrants and the Compensation Warrants) are subject to a hold period expiring December 27, 2014.
