Independent Nickel Corp. Closes $13 Million Financing
Sudbury, Ontario – May 8, 2007 – Independent Nickel Corp. (TSX-V:
INI) (the “Company”) has closed the $13 million non-brokered
financing previously announced on April 17th, 2007.
The financing consisted of 11,764,706 common share units (“Units”) at
$0.85 per unit, for gross Unit proceeds of $10,000,000 and 3,000,000
flow through common shares (“Flow Through Shares”) at $1.00 per share,
for gross Flow Through proceeds of $3,000,000. Each Unit consists of one
common share of the Company and one half common share purchase warrant
of the Company. The combination of two half warrants entitles the
holder, for a period of eighteen months following the closing of the
financing, to acquire one common share of the Company for $1.00.
The Company paid finder’s fees of $710,455 and issued 1,398,149
finder’s warrants in respect of the financing. Each finder’s warrant
entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a
purchase price of $0.90 for a period of 24 months from closing.
Shares issued pursuant to this private placement, including any
shares issued as a result of the exercise of finder’s warrants, will be
subject to a four month hold period expiring September 8, 2007.
A portion of the proceeds from the Unit private placement will be
used to fund the previously announced acquisition of the royalty of up
to 3% on Victory Nickel Inc.’s Minago Nickel property, located in
northern Manitoba. The balance of the Unit net proceeds will be used to
fund pre-feasibility and permitting of the Company’s Lynn Lake property
and for general working capital purposes. Proceeds from the Flow Through
private placement will be used to fund exploration at the Company’s Lynn
Lake project located in Manitoba.
The private placement is subject to final acceptance of the TSX
Venture Exchange.
