Toronto, Canada -- November 7, 2011: East Asia Minerals Corporation (TSXV:EAS) ("East Asia" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has increased the size of the private placement offering previously announced on October 7, 2011, to allow for the issuance of up to 26,000,000 units (the "Units") at C$0.50 per Unit (the "Issue Price") for aggregate gross proceeds of up to C$13 million. Each Unit shall consist of one common share of the Company (a "Common Share") and (ii) one whole Common Share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire, at any time up to 24 months following closing of the offering, one common share of the Company (a "Warrant Share") at an exercise price of $0.78 per Warrant Share.
The Company has entered into an agreement with RBC Capital Markets ("RBC") pursuant to which RBC will act as agent on a "best efforts" agency basis in connection with the private placement of up to 16,000,000 Units for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $8,000,000. In addition, the Company is proposing to undertake a non-brokered private placement (the "Non-Broker Placement") of up to 10,000,000 Units for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $5,000,000. It is expected that the Non-Broker Placement will close concurrently with the closing of the brokered offering (collectively, the "Offering") on November 30, 2011.
The Company shall use the net proceeds of the Offering for general working capital.
In addition, East Asia has agreed to issue up to 3,450,000 warrants (the "Warrants") to investors who participated in its private placement that was completed on July 13, 2011 (the "July Private Placement") on a basis of one full Warrant for every share purchased in the July Private Placement (the "Warrant Transaction"). Each Warrant will allow holders to subscribe for one common share of East Asia at an exercise price of $1.17 per share for a term of 24 months. The Warrant Transaction is expected to close concurrently with the Offering.
The Offering and the Warrant Transaction are subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.
