TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - April 12, 2011) - Rencore Resources Ltd. ("Rencore" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has agreed in principal to the terms of an equity investment by Dundee Resources Limited ("Dundee") of $1,000,000 (see below) and an earn-in joint venture agreement with Dundee on all of Rencore's 100% owned claims in the Ring of Fire. Dundee will earn a 33% interest in Rencore's Ring of Fire activities around the area of Rencore's current Ring of Fire claims in Ontario (the "Rencore ROF Project") by funding $2.5 million of exploration work. A joint venture will be formed between Dundee and Rencore giving Dundee the right to participate for up to 33% in Rencore's ROF Project by funding its portion of the project's budget.
Rencore is the operator of the Rencore ROF Project and will spend the majority of the $2.5 million on diamond drilling of the Company's existing high priority targets and to carry out additional airborne surveys to continue Rencore's strategy of hunting for large economic mineral deposits in relatively unexplored areas.
Richard Nemis, President and CEO of Rencore, states, "It is with great pleasure that I welcome Ned Goodman and Dundee to our exploration effort. To have a strategic partner such as Ned speaks volumes all on its own. This agreement has allowed us to go forward with a strong well funded program while limiting the dilution to our shareholders."
The Company is also very pleased to announce a brokered private placement (the "Offering") of up to 8,163,265 units ("Units") at a price of $0.245 per Unit to a maximum of $2,000,000. The Offering is being led on a best efforts basis by IBK Capital Corp. and Dundee Capital Markets (the "Agents").
In connection with its joint venture investment, Dundee has agreed to subscribe for 4,081,633 Units of this financing for a total of $1,000,000 or 50% of the Offering. At t he completion of the financing, Dundee will own 13.84% of the Company on a basic basis. If fully subscribed, Rencore will have 29,497,570 shares outstanding after the Offering.
The Offering is expected to close, subject to approval from the CNSX, on or about April 29, 2011 or such other date as is agreed to between the Company and the Agents (the "Closing Date"). Proceeds from the Offering will be used for general working capital and to fund exploration on the Company's properties outside of the Rencore ROF Project.
Each Unit of the Offering shall be comprised of one (1) common share of the Company and one half (1/2) common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one (1) common share of the Company at a price of $0.41 per common share until the date which is the earlier of twenty-four (24) months from the Closing Date of the Offering or thirty (30) days from the tenth day that the shares trading on the CNSX close at or above $0.55 and the 10th trading day is at least four (4) months from the Closing Date of the Offering.
The Company has agreed to pay the Agents a commission of 8% cash and issue brokers warrants equal to 8% of the number of Units sold under the Offering. Each broker warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Unit of the Offering for $0.245 for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the closing of the Offering.
On behalf of the board of directors of Rencore Resources Ltd.
