Vancouver, December 20, 2013 /FSC/ - Sacre-Coeur Minerals Ltd. (SCM - TSX Venture, S5N - FWB), (the "Company") today announced that it has closed the second tranche of a non-brokered private placement of unsecured convertible notes (the "Notes"), previously announced on November 8, 2013, which has raised additional gross proceeds of $52,000. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum, and will mature on December 20, 2016. The Notes and, subject to regulatory approval, any interest accrued thereon, are convertible into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $0.11 (the "Shares"). If the Notes have not been converted or repaid in full by maturity they will, subject to regulatory approval, be automatically converted into Shares at the greater of the minimum price permitted by the TSX Venture Exchange and 75% of the closing price of the Company's common shares on the trading day immediately preceding the date the Notes were issued. In connection with the Notes, the Company has granted the holders of the Notes, share purchase warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase up to an aggregate of 472,727 common shares of the Company. The Warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.11 until December 20, 2016. The Warrants are subject to a 4-month hold period in Canada expiring on April 21, 2014. The Company has also replaced a $100,000 convertible note previously issued, the closing of which was announced on November 8, 2013, with a Note under this second tranche closing.

Additionally, the Company today announced a non-brokered private placement offering to raise gross proceeds of up to $2,070,000. Under the terms of the private placement, the Company will offer for sale up to 23,000,000 Units (the "Units") at $0.09 per Unit. Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (the "New Shares") and one-half of one share purchase warrant (the "New Warrants"), where each whole New Warrant will allow the subscriber to purchase one additional common share of the Company for a period of two years from the date of closing at an exercise price of $0.17 per common share. The Company may elect to give written notice to the New Warrant holders that the New Warrants will expire 30 calendar days after the date of such notice, if at any time after four months and one day from the date of closing, the volume weighted average trading price of the common shares of the Company on the TSX Venture Exchange is greater than $0.20 per share for 20 consecutive trading days, and more than 1,000,000 common shares in aggregate trade during the 20 consecutive trading day period. The Company may, in its discretion, pay a cash finder's fee of up to 7% of the total gross proceeds of the offering and issue finder's warrants (the "Finders' Warrants") exercisable at any time for a period of up to two years from the date of closing, to purchase such number of common shares that is equivalent to 7% of the number of Units sold under the private placement at any exercise price of $0.20 per common share. The New Shares, New Warrants and Finders' Warrants, and any shares issued upon the exercise of the New Warrants and Finders' Warrants, will be subject to a 4-month hold period. The private placement is subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange. Proceeds from the private placement will be utilized for funding exploration of the Company's properties as well as working capital.
