NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN
THE UNITED STATES
Rapier Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE:RPR) (the "Company") is pleased to announce it has
arranged a non-brokered private placement of flow through and non-flow through
units on a best efforts basis at a price of $0.065 per Flow Through Unit (the
"FT Unit") and $0.05 per Non-Flow Through Unit (the "NFT Unit") for aggregate
proceeds of a maximum of $550,000 (the "Offering").
Each FT Unit or NFT Unit will consist of one common share and one
non-transferable common share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the
holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.10 for 12 months
following completion of the Offering. The Company reserves the right to increase
the size of the private placement or to modify the type, nature and/or price.
Should the Company's Shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange at a weighted
average price of greater than $0.15 for any ten consecutive trading day period
the Company may, on written notice to the holders of the Warrants, reduce the
exercise period of the Warrants to a date that is not less than 30 days from the
date of the notice. It is anticipated that the maximum shares issued will be
9,500,000. The Company reserves the right to increase the size of the private
placement or to modify the type, nature and/or price.
The financing may be closed in multiple tranches, with a final closing on or
before December 27, 2013. The Offering is subject to certain conditions,
including approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company may pay finders'
fees in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. The shares
will be subject to a statutory four month hold period.
The proceeds from the issuance of the FT Units will qualify as Canadian
exploration expenses which will be renounced to investors no later than December
31, 2013. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering primarily
for expenditures on the Company's Pen Gold Project, located 75 km south west of
Timmins, Ontario, and for general working capital.
Certain directors and officers of the Company intend to acquire securities under
the private placement. Any such participation would be considered to be a
"related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI
61-101"). The transaction will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority
shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value
of any shares issued to, or the consideration paid by such persons, will exceed
25% of the Company's market capitalization.
Pen Gold Project Summary
-- Rapier's activities are focused on exploring for gold on the Pen Gold
Project which comprises 16,448 hectares (approximately 160 sq km), 75 km
southwest of Timmins, Ontario, in close proximity to the western
extension of the Porcupine-Destor Deformation (Fault) Zone, one of the
most productive gold structures in the world.
-- In May, Rapier completed a thirteen hole drill program of 4,350 m,
focused on four key areas of the project; Westgate Area, Porphyry Hill
Area, Midway Area and Talc Mine Area. Details are outlined in Rapier's
press releases dated June 24, 2013 and July 25, 2013.
-- In June, complete LIDAR coverage was flown over the Pen Gold South area
and results were received in mid-July. The LIDAR base maps are used in
prospecting and mapping as guides to locate areas of rock outcrop,
avoidance of swamps and general access.
-- Between July and the end of September, Rapier completed mapping and
prospecting over approximately 4,100 hectares, or approximately 25%, of
the property. That worked resulted in the identification of three new
trends;
-- The Westgate Trend extending approximately 3.5 km east west from the
two holes drilled at Westgate,
-- The Porphyry Hill Trend extending 2km east of the one hole drilled
at Porphyry Hill, and
-- The Nib Yellowknife Area located 2km south of the Talc Mine Area
Results from this work were outlined in Rapier's press releases dated September
5, 2013 and October 7, 2013.
