Otterburn Resources Corp. Provides Update on Financing
VANCOUVER, March 8, 2016 - Otterburn Resources Corp. ("Otterburn") (TSX VENTURE:OBN) announces that, further to its news releases of July 28, 2015 and October 28, 2015, Otterburn has made application to the TSX Venture Exchange to approve increasing the size of its private placement to an aggregate of up to C$6,800,000.Otterburn is undertaking the financing in conjunction with its proposed acquisition of K92 Mining International Limited ("K92") (the "RTO"). Otterburn is raising private placement funding through the sale of Subscription Receipts, at $0.35 per receipt. Otterburn has and will advance the net subscription proceeds realized from the sale of some of the Subscription Receipts to K92 as loans for financing its operations in Papua New Guinea pending closing of the RTO.
Each Subscription Receipt entitles the holder to automatically receive either:
| (i) | one unit of Otterburn following closing of the RTO ("Units"); each Unit consisting of one common share of Otterburn, and one common share purchase warrant exercisable at C$0.50 for a period of 18 months from the date of issue; or |
| (ii) | should the RTO fail to close by July 1, 2016, then either a return of the subscription proceeds or an interest in the loans made by Otterburn to K92. |
The private placement is in addition to the financing entered into by K92 with CRH Funding II Pte. Ltd., involving a US$4.8 million gold prepayment investment and a C$3.5 million equity investment (the "CRH Financing") as announced February 4, 2016.
For clarity, the Subscription Receipt financing and the CRH Financing are the only two financings being undertaken in conjunction with the RTO.
