PRESS RELEASE
For immediate distribution
Montreal, November 6, 2012 – Geomega Resources Inc. (“GéoMégA” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: GMA) announces it has entered into an engagement letter with Industrial Alliance Securities Inc. and Marquest Asset Management Inc. (the “Agents”) for a best effort private placement of up to 7,000,000 flow-through shares (each, a “Flow-Through Share”), at a price of $0.50 per Flow-Through Share for gross proceeds of $3,500,000 (the “Private Placement”).
The Company will use the proceeds of the Private Placement for exploration and development on its Montviel property in Quebec.
In connection with the Private Placement, the Company will pay a cash commission to the Agents equal to 7% of the gross proceeds raised and will issue broker warrants equal to 5% of the total number of Flow-Through Shares sold. Each broker warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share for a period of 18 months from the date of issuance at a price of $0.50 per share.
The Company has granted the Agents a 30 day over-allotment option (the “Over-Allotment Option”) to sell up to that number of additional Flow-Through Shares that equals 15% of the aggregate number of Flow-Through Shares sold through the Private Placement. Assuming full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, the gross proceeds from the Private Placement will be $4,025,000 with 8,050,000 Flow-Through Shares being sold.
The Private Placement is scheduled to close on or about November 22, 2012 and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to a four month and one day hold period from the date of closing of the Private Placement.
