Miramar
Announces CDN$15 Million Flow-Through Private Placement
- Allows Continued Funding of
the Exploration of the Hope Bay Belt -
VANCOUVER - Miramar Mining Corporation is pleased to announce that it has entered into an underwriting agreement with a Canadian underwriter under which the underwriter has agreed to purchase on a bought deal private placement basis and sell to qualified Canadian resident investors 2,040,820 common shares of Miramar to be issued as “flow-through shares” (each, a “Flow-Through Share”) at a price of Cdn$7.35 per Flow-Through Share for total gross proceeds to Miramar of Cdn$15,000,027.
In consideration for its services, the underwriter will receive a cash commission equal to 4% of the gross proceeds raised under the offering. Closing of the offering is scheduled to occur on or about November 29, 2006. The offering is subject to a number of conditions, including, without limitation, receipt of all required regulatory approvals.
The Company plans to use the gross proceeds from the Private Placement to fund part of the 2007 work program at Hope Bay. This financing will allow the Company flexibility to complete drilling and exploration while preserving capital for non-exploration type work and feasibility requirements for phase two.
