Company Also Announces New Private Placement Offering
WINNIPEG, Nov. 30 /CNW/ - Donald
Benson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nordic Oil and Gas Ltd.
("Nordic" or the "Corporation"), today announced that the Corporation has
received additional data and interpretation from Petro-Find Geochem Ltd., the
company hired by Nordic that discovered the evidence of oil seeps in its two
most northerly townships in Preeceville.
It was originally thought that Petro-Find had discovered 29 locations,
however this has been updated to 34, "because several locations were amalgamated
as one showing," noted Paul Lafluer, President of
Petro-Find.
"Altogether, evidence of oil seeps was found at 34 locations with at least 4
major areas, including one extending 400 feet along the Pewei River,"
Mr. Lafleur added. "The seeps are interpreted to be leakages
from faults intersecting oil reservoirs at depth. Further field work is required
to ascertain the full extent and pattern of these leakages. Correlation of the
seepages with the geochemical soil gas survey is expected by mid-December."
Given this new information, Mr. Benson also announced today
that the Corporation intends to undertake a new non-brokered private placement
offering of up to 10,000,000 units at a price of $0.30 per Unit
for gross proceeds of $3,000,000 to various subscribers. Each
Unit would consist of one Class A common share of the Corporation issued as a
"flow-through share" within the meaning of the Income Tax Act
(Canada) and one half of one Class A common share purchase
warrant. Each whole Warrant would entitle the holder thereof to purchase one
regular Class A common share of the Corporation at a price of
$0.40 for a period of two years from the date of issuance.
Certain finders are expected to assist the Corporation by introducing
potential subscriber(s) for the new Offering and, subject to compliance with
applicable legislation, will be entitled to receive fees equal to 6% of the
purchase price of the new Units sold pursuant to the new Offering as well as
warrants ("Additional Finder's Warrants") equal to 8% of the number of new Units
sold pursuant to the new Offering. Each new Finder's Warrant shall entitle the
holder thereof to purchase one regular Class A common share of the Corporation
at a price of $0.40 for a period of 24 months from the date of
issuance.
The Corporation anticipates multiple closings throughout December.
All terms of the new Offering are subject to the approval of the TSX Venture
Exchange.
"It is our intention to use the money raised to finance the drilling of three
new wells in Preeceville," Mr. Benson said. "As we have stated
previously, when we receive the completed geochemical soil gas survey from our
consultant, Petro-Find Geochem, we will then be in position to correlate this
information with our proprietary seismic surveys. This will provide us with a
clearer understanding of the underlying structures, which in turn will give us a
better idea as to where the wells should be drilled."
