TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - May 8, 2013) - Mahdia Gold Corporation (the "Company") (CNSX:MGD) is pleased to announce that it has raised gross proceeds of C$500,000.00 through a non-brokered private placement of units at a price of C$1,000 per unit, each unit consisting of (i) C$1,000 face value of 15% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures (the "Debentures"), and (ii) 600 common share purchase warrants of the Company (the "Warrants"). Each Warrant will be exercisable into one common share of the Company at an exercise price of C$0.20 per share during the five year period following closing.
"I am pleased to personally provide C$200,000.00 of these funds," said Andre J. Douchane, President & CEO of Madhia Gold. "The Company will use the proceeds of the offering to move its 2013 alluvial production plans for the Omai property toward its goal of producing up to 300 ounces of gold per month. Mahdia is currently getting small scale production from its test work on the alluvial deposit. The Company will continue to define the recoverable gold in the resident placer deposits and move forward with the evaluation of the low-grade stock piles left by previous producers and other areas of discovered yet unexploited placer gold deposits within the property. Mahdia's phase one alluvial test program has been completed and will be available for release in the near term."
The Debentures mature on June 30, 2015 (the "Maturity Date"), unless earlier redeemed (such early redemption available after June 30, 2014), and bear interest, accruing, calculated and payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 31 of each year. The Debentures are convertible at the holder's option into common shares of the Company, at any time prior to the close of business on the earlier of the business day immediately preceding the Maturity Date and the business day immediately preceding the date fixed for redemption of the Debentures, at a conversion price of C$0.20 per common share, being a ratio of 5,000 Common Shares per C$1,000 principal amount of Debentures.
The terms of this financing are consistent with the previous C$1,020,000 convertible debenture placement press released on the 17th of April 2013, bringing the total to $1,520,000 of successful non-brokered placements in less than two months.
The Debentures rank subordinate in right of payment of principal and interest to all present and future senior obligations of the Company and rank pari-passu to all present and future unsecured indebtedness.
