TORONTO, CANADA – March 14, 2013 – Mr. George A. Brown, President of MacMillan Minerals Inc. (TSX-V: MMX), is pleased to report that, to date, the Company has received subscriptions for 4,250,000 units ($170,000) representing 68% of the maximum amount of the private placement financing of 6,250,000 units ($250,000) under terms as news released on January 29, 2013. The subscriptions include 1,050,000 units ($42,000) from Directors and Senior Officers of the Company. This represents 24.7% of subscriptions which is within the maximum limit of 25% allowed from insiders under the TSX Venture Exchange guidelines for financings under the temporary relief measures.
The Company has received conditional approval of this financing from the TSX Venture Exchange. The final closing is scheduled to be on or by March 28, 2013, which corresponds with the date of the Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held at 9:30 am at the Toronto Board of Trade. The proceeds of this financing will be used for the general working capital requirements of MacMillan as a publicly traded junior resource company.
The total financing is comprised of up to 6,250,000 units priced at $0.04 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant exercisable for a period of two years from closing date. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share at $0.06 per common share for the first year and at $0.10 per common share for the second year. The price of the unit and the exercise price of the warrant in the first year is below the usual minimum pricing guidelines of the TSX Venture Exchange and falls within the pricing guidelines in effect due to the TSX Venture temporary relief provisions extended until April 30, 2013 by bulletin dated December 12, 2012.
The final closing of the financing is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. In accordance with applicable securities laws, all securities issued pursuant to the financing will be subject to a hold period of four months from closing date. Finders’ fees in cash, shares, or units subject to regulatory approval may be issued in connection with completion of this financing.
MacMillan is an exploration company with a focus on gold and silver exploration on numerous properties in Mexico. The corporate mission is to advance exploration properties to a stage whereby they may attract a more senior company to either purchase them outright with a residual royalty to the Company or enter into a joint venture agreement whereby they can earn in a majority interest under which the Company would still maintain a carried interest or royalty until a bankable feasibility is completed or a production decision is made.
