Murgor Resources announces first closing of private placement for $382,680 to
explore its Manitoba properties
KINGSTON, ON, March 15 /CNW Telbec/ - Murgor Resources Inc. (TSX-V : MGR) announces that it has completed a first closing of a private placement in the amount of $382,680 by issuing 2,126,000 "flow-through" common shares at a price of $0.18 per share. Murgor will use the proceeds from this placement to explore its wholly-owned grassroots copper-gold projects in Manitoba.
The sale of the 2,126,000 "flow-through" common shares represents the first tranche of a private placement of up to 5,555,556 "flow-through" common shares, for maximum gross proceeds to Murgor of $1,000,000. Murgor anticipates that the final closing of the private placement will take place on or about March 31, 2010.
In connection with the private placement, Murgor paid finders' fees to registered persons, in an amount equal to 7% of the proceeds from the sale of the "flow-through" shares through such registered persons.
The common shares issued by Murgor under the private placement are subject to a four-month hold period, in accordance with applicable securities laws and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. The first closing of the private placement has increased the number of outstanding common shares of Murgor to 63,870,426.
In other news, Murgor wishes to inform its shareholders that it halted its drilling program at the Wim Property in Manitoba due to unusually warm temperatures. The drilling program will be completed when winter conditions return. Murgor is now concentrating its exploration efforts on its gold-copper properties in Manitoba, its gold properties in the Red Lake District and its gold properties in Quebec (including the management of the Windfall Lake Gold property for Eagle Hill Exploration).
