VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Feb. 6, 2014) - Rogue Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:RRS) ("Rogue" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that subject to regulatory approval it has closed the second tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement financing (the "Offering"). The Company also announces it intends to extend the Offering and increase the funds to be raised to $1,000,000, subject to regulatory approval.
The Company will allocate the balance of the Offering to subscribers found by Secutor Capital Management Corp., an Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada member firm.
"We are encouraged by the interest and positive response received towards advancing and exploring both our existing assets and the newly acquired East-West Gold property located in the prolific Val-d'Or gold camp," commented Company President and CEO, John de Jong. "We are continuing to push forward in developing a meaningful exploration program for these assets in order to create value for our shareholders."
In the second tranche the Company issued 200,000 Quebec flow through units (the "Quebec FT Units") and 1,575,000 non-flow through units (the "NFT Units") for a total of 1,775,000 units and gross proceeds of $146,000. All shares are subject to a statutory four month hold period which expires on June 6, 2014.
The Offering consists of FT Units and NFT Units on a best efforts basis at a price of $0.10 per National FT Unit or Quebec FT Unit and $0.08 per NFT Unit. Each Quebec or National FT Unit consists of one flow through common share and one-half of one non-transferable warrant. Each NFT Unit consists of one common share and one non-transferable common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.12 for 24 months following completion of the Offering.
The Company has requested an extension to the Offering, and is awaiting approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. Finder's fees in the amount of $1,400 and 14,000 compensation warrants are payable in respect of these funds.
The proceeds from the issuance of the FT Shares will qualify as Canadian and/or Quebec exploration expenses which will be renounced to investors no later than December 31, 2014. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering primarily for expenditures on the Company's East-West Gold property and for general working capital.
