Buchans Minerals to take in C$1 million via private placement of units

Non-brokered offering arranged with investor Minco at C$0.065 per unit

By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., April 30 - Buchans Minerals Corp. said it arranged a C$1 million non-brokered private placement of units with Minco plc.

The company will sell 15,384,615 units of one common share and one half-share warrant at C$0.065 per unit. Each whole warrant will be exercisable at C$0.10 for two years. The strike price reflects a 66.67% premium to the April 27 closing share price of C$0.06.

Proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

The offering is part of an arrangement between the company and investor under which Minco may earn a 51% interest in the company's base metal properties in Newfoundland. The investor may earn the interest by spending C$8 million to advance the Lundberg deposit to final feasibility over four years and helping to explore further the company's mineral properties in the Buchans camp. Minco will pay Buchans C$1 million for an exclusive six-month option to evaluate the Woodstock manganese property in New Brunswick, with a view to signing a joint-venture agreement to develop the property.

Buchans is a Windsor, N.S., base metals explorer.
