Vancouver, British Columbia CANADA, October 22, 2013 /FSC/ - Sunridge Gold Corp. (SGC - TSX Venture, SGCNF - OTCQX),(the "Company" or "Sunridge") is pleased to announce that it has closed a brokered financing by Tempest Capital Corp. (the "Agent") for gross proceeds of approximately $3,659,080 and a concurrent non-brokered financing to raise gross proceeds of approximately $2,090,920, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $5,750,000. A total of 30,263,159 units ("Units"), were issued at a purchase price of $0.19 per Unit (the "Private Placement"). Each Unit is comprised of one common share (a "Share") and one transferable common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one additional common share (a "Warrant Share") of the Company at an exercise price of $0.35 until October 18, 2017.
In consideration for the Agent's services in connection with the brokered portion of the Private Placement and the services of arm's length finders (the "Finders") in connection with the non-brokered portion of the Private Placement, the Agent and the Finders will receive a cash commission equal to 6% of the gross proceeds from the sale of Units, and non-transferable broker warrants (the "Broker Warrants") exercisable to acquire that number of units ("Broker Units") equal to 6% of the number of Units sold pursuant to the Private Placement at a price of $0.19 per Broker Unit at any time prior to October 18, 2017. Each Broker Unit will consist of one Share and one common share purchase warrant which will have the same attributes as the Warrants issued in the Private Placement, but will be non-transferable.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Private Placement for further development of the Company's Asmara Project in Eritrea as well as for general working capital purposes.
The Company also settled outstanding debts (the "Debt Settlement") with arm's length parties in the aggregate amount of $830,128 by issuing 4,369,095 Units concurrent with the closing of the Private Placement.
The securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement and the Debt Settlement will be subject to a four month hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws, expiring on February 22, 2014.
