Manicouagan Announces Private Placement And Corporate Update
TORONTO, June 1, 2012 - Manicouagan Minerals Inc. (TSXV:MAM) announced today that it is arranging a non-brokered private placement of up to $1,000,000. A first tranche of $400,000 of units at a price of $0.055 per unit consisting of one common share and one full common share purchase warrant exercisable at $0.10 for 24 months from the date of closing is expected to close on or before June 8, 2012. The proceeds will be used for working capital purposes.
Manicouagan confirms that $400,000 of this private placement (first tranche) will be purchased by directors of the Company.
Completion of the financing is subject to the receipt of all required regulatory approvals, including acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.
On May 29, 2012, Manicouagan held its Annual General and Special Meeting of shareholders. The resolution approving Donald K Johnson, a director of the Company, as a new control person was approved by the shareholders. This will allow Mr. Johnson to increase his percentage of ownership in the Company beyond the 20% level. Mr. Johnson currently controls 18.8% of the common shares of Manicouagan.
Also on May 29, 2012, the Board concluded that the Company's assets are being undervalued by the equity market; hence it and management will pursue all options to increase shareholder value.
