BLAINE, WA, Nov. 18 /CNW/ - Century Mining Corporation (CMM: TSX-V) today announced that, subject to regulatory approval, it has closed the second tranche of the flow-through equity financing, comprising 13.5 million flow-through shares at a price of $0.20 per share for gross proceeds of $2.7 million, which was originally announced on October 14, 2009. In connection with the second tranche, the Company paid a cash finder's fee of 4% of gross proceeds and issued broker warrants equal to 4% of the number of flow through shares issued. Each broker warrant is exercisable for 18 months from the date of issue and entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company for a price of $0.20 per share.
On November 2, 2009 the Company announced that, subject to regulatory approval, it had closed the first tranche of the flow-through equity financing by issuing approximately 6.5 million flow-through shares at a price of $0.20 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $1.3 million. The Company paid a cash finder's fee of 7% of gross proceeds and issued broker warrants equal to 7% of the number of flow-through shares issued in the first tranche of the financing. Each broker warrant is exercisable for 18 months from the date of issue and entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company for a price of $0.20 per share.
In aggregate, the Company issued a total of 19,998,074 flow-through shares at a price of $0.20 per share for total gross proceeds of $3,999,615 in both tranches of the financing. Total gross proceeds were reduced from $5.25 million originally contemplated and announced on October 14, 2009. All of the securities issued under these private placements will be subject to a four-month hold period.
"We are very pleased to have completed this additional tranche of financing. It will allow the Company to continue its exploration and resource delineation efforts for the Lamaque project," said Margaret Kent, President and CEO of Century Mining Corporation.
In addition, the Company is continuing to progress with preparations for completion of the C$21 million equity private placement and the US$33 million prepaid gold forward sale financing discussed in the November 2, 2009 press release, including the shareholders meeting scheduled for Monday, November 23, 2009. Closing of these financings, which will fund the restart of the Lamaque project in Val-d'Or, Quebec, is currently expected in early December 2009. A portion of the proceeds will be used to pay the remaining C$3.2 million financial guarantee requested by the Ministry of Natural Resources of Quebec for the final reclamation of the Sigma-Lamaque site after completion of mining.

the disclaimer is nearly longer than the news release? reads ominous. a friend sent PK a load of questions last week that she didn't respond to. They were based on her previous statements and assurances. is this the reason for the long disclaimer?
The November 2nd NR had close, if not the same Forward Looking Statement. Take a look back at some of the company NRs and compare. I just looked at this one and compared it to Nov. 2nd.
and Sept. 23rd NR on foregoing the Etrustcan Shares is about the same, as well.
