Nevada Exploration Closes $1,000,000 Private Placement
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/24/12 -- Nevada Exploration Inc. ("NGE") (TSX VENTURE: NGE) is pleased to announce that it has closed, subject to TSX Venture Exchange final approval, the non-brokered private placement ("Offering") previously announced on December 5, 2012. NGE has issued 10,000,000 Units at a price of $0.10, for gross proceeds of $1,000,000. Each Unit consists of one common share and one-half of one non-transferable common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.15 for a period of one year, subject to an accelerated expiry provision described below (the "Warrants"). All shares issued are subject to a four month hold period expiring April 25, 2012, as well as to any other re-sale restrictions imposed by applicable securities regulatory authorities. The proceeds of this tranche will be used to advance NGE's exploration projects and for general working capital.
If on any 20 consecutive trading days after the issuance of the Units, the closing sales price (or closing bid price on days when there are no trades) of the common shares of NGE quoted on the TSX Venture Exchange is greater than $0.25, NGE may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to the 30th day after the date on which NGE gives notice to the Warrant holder of such acceleration.
In conjunction with the Offering, NGE paid finders' fees to arm's length parties totalling $36,920 in cash and issued 369,200 Broker Warrants exercisable under the same terms as those warrants issued as part of the Units in the Offering. All Broker Warrants are subject to a four month hold period expiring April 25, 2012.
The securities issued by NGE have not and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), or the securities laws of any state of the United States, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption therefrom under the 1933 Act and the securities laws of all applicable states.
NGE is an exploration company focused on gold in Nevada. NGE is led by an experienced management team that has been involved with the discovery of more than 30 million ounces of gold in Nevada.
NGE is aggressively applying the latest in covered deposit exploration technology to identify, acquire, and advance new exploration properties in Nevada's highly prospective, yet underexplored covered basins. Specifically, NGE has developed proprietary hydrogeochemistry (groundwater chemistry) exploration technology to explore for gold in Nevada's covered basins where traditional exploration techniques are challenged.
Using its industry leading exploration technology, NGE has assembled a portfolio of nine new gold projects, and with over 13,500 hectares (52 sq mi), is evolving as a major player in this world class jurisdiction. NGE's business model is to leverage its properties and technology to create shareholder value through generative exploration, joint ventures, and other exploration partnerships.
