![Tarsis Announces $1 Million Financing and Prospector Mountain Option Agreement Transfer](https://www.goldseiten.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
The financing will be taken up by a group of strategic investors who have been long term supporters of exploration companies such Tarsis in the past, both financially, and by assisting with growth strategies and contact networks.
The financing proceeds will be used for mineral exploration in the Yukon and Mexico, the review of new projects, and corporate administration. Finder's fees of 7% cash and 7% warrants may be paid on a portion of these offerings.
Marc G. Blythe, President and CEO, commented that, "We had the opportunity to expand our shareholder base with some strategic investors who liked our recent Yukon results so we decided it was a good long term move to complete this offering."
Prospector Mountain
The Company recently amended its option agreement with Silver Quest Resources ("Silver Quest") (TSX VENTURE:SQI) on its Prospector Mountain property, Yukon. Tarsis has consented to Independence Gold Corp. ("Independence) (TSX VENTURE:IGO) assuming the obligations of the option agreement and has also granted a three month extension on cash and share payments due under the agreement to allow Independence time to review the project results. Exploration results including diamond drilling from the 2011 season are yet to be released.
Independence was formed as part of an arrangement where New Gold Inc. (TSX:NGD) acquired Silver Quest Resources, primarily for its Davidson/Blackwater Project, BC. Independence now holds all of Silver Quest's Yukon assets and is run by the Silver Quest management team, headed by Mr. Randy Turner.
