Laramide Resources Extends Expiry Date of Certain Outstanding Warrants

TORONTO, June 5, 2015 /CNW/ - Laramide Resources Ltd. ("Laramide" or the "Company") (TSX:LAM, ASX:LAM) intends to extend the expiry date of two series of common share purchase warrants, for a twelve-month period.

The Company proposes to extend the expiry date of the following warrants:

1. a total of 1,946,250 common share purchase warrants issued on December 24, 2013 (the "Series A Warrant"), as part of the private placement which closed on December 24, 2013, having an original expiry date of June 19, 2015; each Series A Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of $0.60 per share and one common share purchase warrant (each a "Series B Warrant"), each Series B Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of $0.80 per common share.; and
   
   
2. a total of 1,946,250 Series B Warrants, which are to be issued upon exercise of a Series A Warrant, having an original expiry date of December 23, 2016;

The Company has applied to the Toronto Stock Exchange to extend the expiry date of the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants for a twelve-month period to June 19, 2016 and December 23, 2017, respectively. There will be no other changes to these warrants.  An aggregate of 3,892,500 common shares are issuable upon exercise of the Series A and Series B Warrants which represents a dilution of 4.6% based on the issued and outstanding common shares as at June 5, 2015.

To the extent that any Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants are held by insiders of the Company, such warrants will be excluded from the extension and would expire on their original expiry date.

As at close of business on June 4, 2015, the closing price of the common shares of the Company was$0.24. 

The extension of the expiry dates of the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants requires TSX approval. The effective date of the amendment is anticipated to be June 19, 2015.
