MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Feb. 14, 2014) -

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES

Donner Metals Ltd. ("Donner" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:DON), announces that it closed today a first tranche of the non-brokered private placement announced on February 3, 2014 for aggregate gross proceeds of $786,200 to the Company. Since the private placement has been oversubscribed for aggregate gross proceeds of up to approximately $898,200 to the Company, the Company expects to close on or about February 19, 2014 a second tranche of the private placement of up to approximately $112,000. The funds of the first tranche of the private placement have been raised through the issuance of 6,551,667 units of the Company at a price of $0.12 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at a price of $0.16 per common share until February 14, 2016. The securities of the Company issued pursuant to the private placement are subject to a four-month hold period expiring June 15, 2014. In connection with the private placement, the Company has agreed to pay to certain finders a finder's fee of up to 8% in cash, representing an aggregate amount of up to $33,816, and an 8% finder's option representing an aggregate of 56,800 options. Each option is non-transferable and exercisable for one unit at a price of $0.12 per unit until February 14, 2015. Each underlying warrant for each option will be non-transferable.

The aggregate proceeds from the sale of the units for the private placement will be used for the advancement of the Valmond gold property in Quebec and for general working capital purposes, including, without limitation, to explore a roll-up strategy.

The Company further announces the participation of two significant subscribers in the first tranche of the private placement: Mr. Leo Berezan and Delaware Street Capital Master Fund, LP ("Delaware Street").

Mr. Berezan's subscription for 2,000,000 units result in Mr. Berezan holding 2,000,000 common shares, or approximately 16.95% of the currently outstanding common shares. He was also issued 2,000,000 common share purchase warrants, the full exercise of which would result in Mr. Berezan holding approximately 28.97% based on the Company's currently outstanding common shares. His warrant certificate provides for a "warrant stopper" clause which restricts Mr. Berezan from acquiring more than 19.99% of the then outstanding shares, subject to certain exceptions and compliance with applicable securities laws. He does not have any present intention to acquire additional ownership of, or control over, additional securities of Donner. It is the intention of Mr. Berezan to evaluate its investment in Donner on a continuing basis and such holdings may be increased or decreased in the future. The address of Mr. Berezan for the purposes of National Instrument 62-103 - Early Warning System and Related Take-Over Bid and Reporting Issues is #203-20191 92A Avenue, Langley, British Columbia V1M 3A5.
