Fort Frances, Ontario, July 17, 2009 – Q-Gold Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:QAU) (FRANKFURT:QX9) (http://www.qgoldresources.com) is pleased to announce that it has closed the second tranche of its previously announced non-brokered flow-through private placement (the "Offering") for gross proceeds of $126,000. Combined with the previously announced closing (see press release dated June 30, 2009), the Company has received aggregate gross proceeds of $526,000 from the Offering.
Pursuant to the Offering, the Corporation issued 3,150,000 units ("Units") at a price of $0.04 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Corporation issued on a “flow-through” basis (a "Flow-Through Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one additional non-flow-through common share at an exercise price of $0.06 within 12 months from issuance and $0.10 thereafter within 24 months of issuance.
Also, pursuant to the Offering, the Corporation paid Jennings Capital Inc. a cash finder's fee of $5,000 and issued them 250,000 finder’s fee warrants ("Finder's Warrants"). Each Finder’s Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Unit (a “Finder’s Unit”) at an exercise price of $0.04 for a period of 24 months from issuance. The Finder’s Units issuable upon exercise of the Finder's Warrants are comprised of one common share and one-half of one Warrant.
All securities issued in connection with the Offering will be subject to a four month restriction from resale as stipulated under applicable securities legislation and the TSX Venture Exchange. It is contemplated that the Flow-Through Shares will entitle the holders to a 100% CEE tax deduction as set forth under the Income Tax Act (Canada).
Proceeds from the Offering will be used by Q-Gold for continued gold exploration on the Corporation’s 30,000+ acres of patents, Crown leases and Crown mining claims in the historic (1890’s) gold camp at Mine Centre, Ontario.
