TORONTO, Jan. 28 /CNW/ - Armistice Resources Corp. (TSX: AZ) today
announced that it has closed a second tranche of the private-placement
equity offering that it announced on December 21, 2010. The second
tranche consists of an issue of 5,035,777 of units at $0.45 per unit
for gross proceeds of $2,266,099. Each unit comprises one common share
and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant
will be exercisable into one common share at a price of $0.55 for a
period of 18 months from the closing date of the offering.
As part of the first tranche closing, announced on December 31, 2010,
Armistice issued a total of 6,190,000 flow-through shares at $0.50 per
flow-through share for gross proceeds of approximately $3,095,000.
The financing, which is being made on a best-efforts basis, is being led
by D&D Securities Inc. (D&D) as the lead agent for a syndicate that
includes Northern Securities Inc.
The financing will provide Armistice funding to move its McGarry Mine
gold project toward production in the 2011 fourth quarter and also will
provide the company with the ability to launch a significant
exploration program on both the McGarry property and the adjacent
Kerr-Addison property for which it has signed a definitive five-year
option agreement for the purchase of up to 100 percent of the mineral
rights, and possibly to acquire additional property.
"With this second tranche of our planned equity offering now completed,
we will focus on completing the previously announced $3 million bridge
loan," said Todd J. Morgan, Armistice's President and Chief Executive
Officer.
The bridge loan is to be provided through Sprott Resource Lending
Partnership (SRLP). As previously announced, under the proposed terms
of the bridge loan, it would be due and payable on or before November
30, 2011 and Armistice would have the right to pre-pay the bridge loan
without penalty. Interest on the bridge loan would be 12% per annum,
compounded monthly (effective annual rate of 12.68%). It is proposed
that Armistice will pay SRLP a bonus payment at closing of $300,000 in
cash or common shares of Armistice, at a price equal to a 10% discount
to the 10-day weighted average closing price of the common shares on
the TSX prior to the date of the signing of the engagement letter. The
bridge loan is subject to the satisfaction of standard conditions, and
the completed execution of the option agreement to acquire the
Kerr-Addison property.
