Starfield Announces Closing of CDN$15.1 Million Private Placement Offering
Vancouver, Canada (ots/PRNewswire)
Starfield Resources Inc.
("Starfield" or the "Company") (TSX-V: SRU and OTCBB: SRFDF) today
announced that it has closed the private placement offering (the
"Offering") that was announced by the Company on March 7, 2007.
Westwind Partners Inc. and Westwind Partners (UK) Limited (together
"Westwind") acted as the lead agents for a syndicate of agents
including Dundee Securities Corp. (collectively, the "Agents") in
connection with the Offering and they exercised in full an agents'
option that allowed them to increase the size of the Offering by
CDN$3,100,000 for total gross proceeds to Starfield of
CDN$15,100,000. Starfield issued 31,249,999 units of the Company
(each a "Unit") at a price of CDN$0.24 per Unit and 27,142,855
flow-through common shares of the Company ("Flow-Through Shares") at
a price of CDN$0.28 per Flow-Through Share in accordance with the
terms of the Offering. Each Unit consists of one common share of the
Company (a "Common Share") and one-half of one transferable Common
Share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each whole Warrant entitles
the holder to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of
CDN$0.30 per Common Share. The Warrants are exercisable for 24
months following the closing of the Offering (the "Closing Date"). In
the event that the Common Shares trade at a closing price on the TSX
Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") of greater than CDN$0.375 per share for a
period of 20 consecutive trading days at any time after four months
and one day after the Closing Date, the Company may accelerate the
expiry date of the Warrants by giving notice to the holders thereof
and, in such case, the Warrants will expire on the 30th day after
the date on which such notice is given by the Company. Mr. André J.
Douchane, President and CEO of the Company, stated "I am pleased
that investors' demand for Starfield's offering resulted in the
Company raising over CDN$15 million and I am confident that we will
now be able to advance our Ferguson Lake Project to the next stage."
Starfield will use the proceeds from the Offering for general
exploration expenditures and general working capital purposes. The
Agents received a cash commission fee of CDN$909,999.96 and in
addition, the Company issued 4,062,499 non-transferable broker
warrants to Westwind Partners Inc. with each broker warrant
entitling the holder to buy one Common Share at CDN$0.24. The broker
warrants are exercisable, in whole or in part, for a period of 24
months following the Closing Date; however, the broker warrants are
also subject to the same acceleration feature as the Warrants that
were issued to the investors in the Offering. In recognition of
certain contractual commitments that had been made by the Company in
regard to past financings where capital market services were
provided to the Company by Max Capital Markets Ltd. ("Max Capital"),
the Company today also issued 507,500 warrants to Max Capital along
with cash consideration of CDN$142,100. Each one of these warrants
entitle Max Capital to buy a Common Shares at CDN$0.24 for a period
of 24 months following the Closing Date (subject to the same expiry
date acceleration feature as the Warrants that were issued to the
investors in the Offering).About Starfield: Starfield Resources Inc. is an advanced exploration and development company focused on its Ferguson Lake Copper-Nickel-Cobalt- Palladium-Platinum property located in Nunavut, Canada.
