BLAINE, WASHINGTON -- (Marketwire - Dec. 20, 2012) - Tamerlane Ventures Inc. ("Tamerlane" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:TAM) announces today that, subject to regulatory approval, the Company will complete, on a best efforts basis, a non-brokered flow through private placement for gross proceeds of up to $1,500,000 comprising up to 30 million flow through shares of the Company at a price of $0.05 per flow through share. All of the securities issued under this flow through private placement and unit offering will be subject to a four-month hold period. The flow through private placement is expected to close by the end of December.
The proceeds from the flow through private placement will be used for exploration drilling at the Company's Pine Point zinc-lead project and the Indian Mountain Lake zinc-lead-gold-silver project, both located in the Northwest Territories, Canada. The deepest hole at Indian Mountain Lake intersected 23 meters of 16.7% zinc and 5 opt Ag at a depth of 335 meters with a true width of 15 meters, dipping 65 degrees. The deposit has been compared to the base metal deposits in the Matagami area of Northern Quebec. The property hosts excellent exploration potential as it is open along strike.
Two directors and officers of the Company have agreed to loan the Company up to $100,000 on an as needed basis. The loans will have a one-year term and will bear interest at 12% per year. The loans may be repaid at any time. A 10% premium will be due upon repayment of the loans.
The Company also announced today that, as of December 14, 2012, Fredric J. Bracken has stepped down from the Board of Directors for personal reasons. The Company wishes to thank Mr. Bracken for his contributions over the past two years. Mr. Bracken remains available to provide strategic advice to the Company with respect to concentrate sales.
Mr. Mike Willett, Tamerlane's CEO, commented, "With the one year extension of our senior secured loans and now funds to continue with our exploration projects, Tamerlane has weathered one of the worst periods in the history of the junior mining industry for raising capital. Our three properties, including Pine Point, Los Pinos and Indian Mountain Lake, are superb assets which give the Company exposure to zinc, lead, copper and precious metals. As the industry stabilizes, we expect to be able to arrange a suitable financing package to put the Pine Point project into production."
