Minfocus Exploration Corp. (TSX VENTURE:MFX) ("Minfocus" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce a non-brokered flow-through and non-flow-through private
placement of up to a combined 10,100,000 units for gross proceeds of up to
$505,000 to be closed in tranches.
Each non-flow-through unit ("NFT Unit") at a price of $0.05 per NFT Unit will
consist of one common share ("Share") and one-half of one non-transferable share
purchase warrant ("Warrant"). Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder to
purchase one additional Share at a price of $0.10 per Share for a period of 18
months from the closing date.
Each flow-through unit ("FT Unit") at a price of $0.05 per FT Unit will consist
of one Share issued on a flow-through basis pursuant to the Income Tax Act
(Canada) and one-half of one Warrant. Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder
to purchase one additional non flow-through Share at $0.10 per Share for a
period of 18 months from the closing date. A maximum of 5,000,000 FT Units will
be made available for issuance.
Proceeds from the private placement will be used by Minfocus to undertake
exploration programs and meet commitments on two of its exploration properties,
Nipigon Reefs and Chief Peter projects, and meet general corporate expenses.
The private placement is subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.
Nipigon Reefs Project Minfocus has completed seven diamond drill holes totaling
more than 2,000 metres, of which four holes intersected the expected ultramafic
mineralized layers. Intercepts of Platinum Group Elements ("PGE") were made in
four drill holes and confirm the existence of multiple significant PGE
mineralized layers with drill core interval lengths up to 5.0 metres thick and
with PGE grades up to 2.47 g/t 3E (3E=Pt+Pd+Au assays) and a ratio of about 1:1
Pt-to-Pd. Minfocus has also received assay results from samples from historic
trenches and recent hand augering with PGE grades up to 1.92 g/t 3E, which
combined with near surface core sampling determined that mineralization in the
trenches could be followed downdip.
Chief Peter Project Minfocus completed a diamond drilling program of 754 metres
in 6 drill holes on its Chief Peter project, which tested a 200 metres long
extension of an anomalous sulphide zone in the Central Zone, which is surmised
to extend for more than 500 metres from historic trenching. Four of the six
holes intersected a gabbro body with disseminated sulphide mineralization. The
gabbro intercepted in the four holes contained disseminated sulphide
mineralization with anomalous copper, nickel and platinum group elements. The
first two holes yielded the highest grade intercepts. In Hole 1, starting 41.0
metres down hole, gave values of 4.0 metres at 2.4 g/t 3E and 0.54% copper and
in Hole 2, starting 49.0m down hole, gave values of 5.0 metres at 2.3 g/t 3E and
0.61% copper with the average ratio of Pt-to-Pd greater than 1:1. Subsequent
surface work during the summer of 2013, near the earlier Minfocus drilling, has
confirmed values of up to 2.4 g/t 3E with 0.77% copper in mineralized gabbro
blocks adjacent to historic trenches.
