For immediate distribution
Montreal, December 5, 2012 – Geomega Resources Inc. (“GéoMégA” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: GMA) announces, pursuant to its news releases dated November 6 and 22, 2012, the final closing of its brokered flow-through private placement (the “Placement“) with Industrial Alliance Securities Inc. and Marquest Capital Markets acting as agents (the “Agents“) consisting of 756,000 flow-through shares (each, a “Flow-Through Share“) at a price of $0.50 per Flow-Through Share for gross proceeds of $378,000.
The Company will use the proceeds of the Placement for exploration and development on its Montviel property in Quebec.
The Flow-Through Shares purchased by the subscribers are subject to a hold period of four months plus one day and may not be traded until April 6, 2013 except as permitted by applicable securities legislation and the rules of TSX Venture Exchange.
An insider of the Company subscribed for a total of 20,000 Flow-Through Shares (the “Insider Participation”). The Insider Participation is exempt from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”) by virtue of the exemptions contained in Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 based on that neither the fair market value of such Insider Participation nor the consideration paid by such insider exceeded 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. The Company has not filed a material change report at least 21 days prior to the closing of the Placement as participation of insiders had not been established at that time.
The Corporation has paid the Agents a cash commission on the sale of the Flow-Through Shares of $26,460 and has issued a total of 37,800 non-transferable agents’ options. Each agents’ option entitles the holder to purchase one common share at a price of $0.50 per share until June 5, 2014.
GéoMégA currently has 34,690,113 common shares issued and outstanding.
This press release is not an offer or a solicitation of an offer of securities for sale in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration.
