THIS NEWS RELEASE IS INTENDED FOR DITRIBUTION IN CANADA ONLY AND IS NOT AUTHORIZED FOR DISTRIBUTION TO THE UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
Emgold Mining Corporation (the "Company" or "Emgold") (TSX VENTURE:EMR)(OTCBB:EGMCF)(FRANKFURT:EML) is pleased to announce that with the strength of investor interest, it has elected to increase the amount of its previously announced non-brokered private placement financing (see Emgold's October 26th, 2011 Press Release). The Company has elected to increase the offering from CDN$1,000,000 to a maximum of CDN$2,000,000. This will result in issuance of up to an additional 10,000,000 Units (an aggregate of up to 20,000,000 Units) at the price of CDN$0.10 per Unit, with each Unit consisting of one common share of the Company and one non-transferable share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase, for a period of 24 months, one additional common share of the Company at a price of CDN$0.15. The Shares issued in connection with this non-brokered private placement, including any issued on the exercise of the Warrants, will be subject to a minimum hold period of four months.
Finder's fees comprised of up to 8% cash and 8% in finder's warrants may be payable in connection with some or all of the offering in accordance with TSX Venture Exchange policies. Each finder's warrant would be exercisable for one Share at a price of $0.15, for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance. Shares issued on the exercise of the finder's warrants would also be subject to a minimum hold period of four months.
The initial closing of the financing is expected to occur as early as November 8th 2011 and is subject to all necessary regulatory approvals. The proceeds of the financing will be primarily used for exploration activity on the Company's Buckskin Rawhide Property in Nevada, property acquisition in Nevada, exploration of its Stewart Property in British Columbia, and general working capital.
