Map 1 – Hemlo Explorers Claims Centered in Central Newfoundland (in red)

“The exploration work planned for the remainder of the year is to locate the source locations of the gold bearing boulders and till samples in the south and north target areas. If successful, the Company plans on drill testing the gold targets in the New Year. Additional prospecting and sampling will concentrate on structural and geological corridors known to host significant gold mineralization northeast of the project,” commented Brian Howlett, CEO of the Company. “Furthermore, management also wishes to acknowledge Robert Cudney, who is one of our largest supporters and we are thankful for his continued commitment to the Company in providing the lead order in this financing. We are thankful for the support of all our shareholders.”

Non-Brokered Private Placement

The Company is undertaking a non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”) to raise aggregate gross proceeds of up to $1,500,000 through the sale of up to an aggregate of 30,000,000 units (“Units”) at a price of $0.05 per Unit and flow through shares (“FT Shares”) at a price of $0.05 per FT Share. Each FT Share will be issued as a “flow-through share” (as defined in subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)).

Each Unit shall be comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant (“Warrant”). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire one common share, to be issued on a non-flow through basis, at a price of $0.10 until the date that is three years following the closing date of the Offering, but subject to accelerated expiry terms following the four month and a day hold period (as further described below). If the Company’s shares trade at or above $0.20 per share for 20 consecutive days, the Company will have the right to accelerate the exercise period to a period ending at least 30 days from the date that notice of such acceleration is provided to the holders of the Warrants.

The proceeds from the FT Shares issued under the Offering will be used for the exploration and advancement of the Company’s Newfoundland area projects, and the proceeds of the Units will be used for general corporate purposes. Any securities to be issued in connection with the Offering will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance. The Company may pay finder’s fees on a portion of the Offering, subject to compliance with the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange and applicable securities legislation.

It is anticipated that insiders of the Company, including Northfield Capital Corporation, will participate in the Offering. By virtue of their participation, the Offering will constitute a “related party transaction” under applicable securities laws. The Company expects to release a material change report including details with respect to the related party transaction less than 21 days prior to the closing of the Offering, which the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances so as to be able to avail itself of potential financing opportunities and complete the Offering in an expeditious manner. As neither the fair market value of the subject matter, nor the fair market value of the consideration for the transaction, insofar as it involves the related party, will exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization, it is expected that neither a formal valuation nor minority shareholder approval will be required in connection with the Offering.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to sell any of the securities in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.
