Fura Amends the Terms of the Emerald Acquisition Agreement and of the Concurrent Private Placement Financing

Pursuant to the Amended Purchase Agreement, the anticipated closing date for the acquisition of the Emerald Concession, which is subject to regulatory approval, has been changed to a date on or about June 16, 2015 (the "Closing Date"). The Amended Purchase Agreement also provides that the purchase price payable to the Vendors for the Emerald Concession will now be paid in instalments as follows: US$400,000 payable on the Closing Date, US$500,000 payable 18 months from the Closing Date and US$500,000 payable 36 months from the Closing Date. The total purchase price for the Emerald Concession is US$1,425,000 including a US$25,000 deposit already advanced to the Vendors. 

In connection with the acquisition of the Emerald Concession, Fura previously announced its intention to complete a non-brokered private placement financing. Fura has amended the private placement financing and now intends to raise gross proceeds of up to CDN$1,500,000 by issuing up to 11,538,461 units (the "Units") at a price of CDN$0.13 per Unit (the "Offering"). Each Unit will be comprised of one common share of Fura and one half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one common share of Fura at an exercise price of CDN$0.17 per common share for a period of 24 months following the closing date of the Offering. If at any time after four months and one day from the closing of the Offering, the common shares of the company trade at CDN$0.30 per common share or higher (on a volume weighted adjusted basis) for a period of 20 consecutive days, the Company will have the right to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to a date that is 30 days after the Company issues a news release announcing that it has elected to exercise this acceleration right.

The closing date of the Offering is scheduled to be on or about June 16, 2015 to coincide with the closing of the Company's purchase of the Emerald Concession. All securities issued will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day. The Offering is subject to a number of conditions, including, without limitation, receipt of all regulatory approvals.

The net proceeds of the Offering will be used for the acquisition of the Emerald Concession, to complete work related to the Emerald Concession and for general corporate purposes. Fura may pay finder's fees in connection with the Offering.
