13.03.2015  |  Marketwired

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - March 13, 2015) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Rapier Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE:RPR) (the "Company") announces it has closed the first tranche of its non-brokered private placement (the "Offering").

The Company will issue 1,560,000 non-flow through units (the "NFT Units") for gross proceeds of $78,000. No finder's fees or compensation warrants are payable in respect of the private placement.

The Offering consists of NFT Units at a price of $0.05 per NFT Unit. Each NFT Unit consists of one common share and one non-transferable common share purchase warrant, which entitles the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.10 for 24 months following completion of the Offering. The shares are subject to a statutory four month hold period expiring July 14, 2015.

The Company will use the net proceeds of the Offering for expenditures on the Company's Pen Gold Project, located 75 km south west of Timmins, Ontario, and for general working capital.

The Company retained Scott Hogg & Associates to complete a Heli-GT 3 axis magnetic gradiometer survey of the northern portion of the Pen Gold Project. The 922 line km survey was flown at an elevation of 30 m above the ground, in a north south line direction, at 100 and 75 m. line spacing. Flying of the survey was completed at the end of February, data will be available shortly. A preliminary review of the geophysical survey reveals sharp discontinuities that may be related to major faults; a more thorough interpretation awaits delivery of the final data.

The Company also announces the appointment of Angela Yap, as the Company's Chief Financial Officer, effective March 16, 2015. Ms. Yap is a Chartered Accountant and brings extensive experience with public companies in the mining and other industrial sectors to Rapier.

The Board would also like to thank Gordana Scekic, CGA, who has resigned as Chief Financial Officer. Ms. Scekic brought tremendous dedication and expertise to the position, and we wish her well in her future endeavors.

Pen Gold Project Summary

  • The Company's activities are exclusively focused on exploring for gold on the Pen Gold Project, comprising 16,448 hectares (approximately 160 sq km) located 75 km southwest of Timmins, Ontario.
  • The Pen Gold Project is located approximately 85 km east of Probe Mines' Borden Gold Project. Probe Mines was acquired by Goldcorp on March 13 for $526,000,000.
  • Lakeshore Gold is actively exploring the 144 Exploration Area of its Timmins West Mine, approximately 50 km east of Pen Gold Project.
  • The Pen Gold Project sits on what is interpreted to be the western extension of the Porcupine-Destor Fault Zone (PDFZ), one of the most productive gold structures in the world. This fault zone extends east into Quebec and hosts many of the largest and most famous gold mines in Canada.
  • On December 18, 2014 the Province of Ontario's Ministry of Northern Development and Mines (MNDM) published the Ontario Geological Survey's Summary of Field Work and Other Activities 2014 ("OGS Summary"), which includes a detailed report describing observations made on Rapier's Pen Gold Project:

    A copy of the report is available on the Company's website.

    Observations made in the OGS Summary confirm the presence of significant occurrences of Timiskaming-style conglomerates on the Pen Gold Project which indicate the proximity of a major fault, which is interpreted to be the western extension of the PDFZ.
  • As outlined in the OGS Summary, at least 72.5 million ounces of gold have been produced from this area, and greater than 98% of this mineralization has come from north of the PDFZ, within a panel of synorogenic clastic rocks locally known as the Timiskaming Group or assemblage, mineralization straddling the unconformity at the base of this clastic package, or from mineralization hosted by deformed greenstones and porphyry intrusions below this unconformity-but all within approximately 0.1 to 3 km of the PDFZ.
  • Teck Resources recently entered into an option agreement with Explor Resources on the Timmins Porcupine West Property, adjoining Lakeshore Gold's Timmins West Mine, to the east towards Timmins.
  • A geological map from the OGS Summary, which overlays the land position of the Company's Pen Gold Project in relation to Lakeshore Gold, Probe Mines and Explor Resources is available on the Company's website.
  • Current market conditions and financial constraints have resulted in the Company evaluating various options to advance the next stages of work including joint ventures and strategic alliances with senior mining companies.
