VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Marketwired – March 28, 2014) – Eagle Hill Exploration Corporation (TSX VENTURE:EAG)(OTCQX:EHECF) (“Eagle Hill” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the terms of a non-brokered private placement of $3.5 million (the “Offering”). The Offering will consist of approximately 35.7 million units of the Company (the “Units”) at $0.07 per Unit for proceeds of $2.5 million, and approximately 7.5 million units of the Company issued on a “flow-through” basis (the “FT Units”) at $0.133 per FT Unit for proceeds of $1.0 million. Each Unit and FT Unit will consist of one common share (a “Share”) and one share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”) of the Company. Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Share at a price of $0.10 for a period of two years following closing of the Offering.
The flow-through portion of the financing will be a structured transaction involving the issuance of the FT Units, their donation to charity and subsequent resale by charities to Southern Arc Minerals Inc. (“Southern Arc”) at a price of $0.07 per FT Unit. Proceeds from the flow-through portion of the Offering will be used for eligible Canadian exploration expenses at the Company’s Windfall Lake Gold Project. The Company will renounce the qualifying expenditures to subscribers of the FT Units for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.
Dundee Corporation (“Dundee”) has agreed to purchase approximately 10.7 million Units. Southern Arc has agreed to purchase approximately 3.6 million Units plus approximately 7.5 million FT Units. Eagle Hill will pay a 6% cash finder’s fee for placement of the remaining 21.4 million Units.
Southern Arc and Dundee’s participation in the private placement is in compliance with Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”). Eagle Hill will rely on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements under MI 61-101 based on a determination that neither the fair market value of the Units being issued to the related parties, nor the consideration being received for such Units, exceeds 25% of Eagle Hill’s market capitalization. In August 2013, Southern Arc and Dundee invested an aggregate of $12 million to purchase a controlling interest in Eagle Hill. Upon closing of the Offering, it is anticipated that Dundee will own 28.9% of Eagle Hill on an undiluted basis, and 28.3% on a fully diluted basis. It is anticipated that Southern Arc will own 23.9% of Eagle Hill on an undiluted basis, and 27.6% on a fully diluted basis.
The Shares, Warrants and Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants will be subject to a four-month hold from the date of closing of the Offering. Proceeds from the Offering will be used for exploration and development of the Windfall Lake Gold Project.
The Offering is subject to TSX Venture Exchange acceptance.
