April 21, 2016 Vancouver, BC ‐ El Niño Ventures Inc. ("ELN" or the “Company”) (TSX.V: ELN OTC Pink:
ELNOF FRANKFURT: E7Q) announces that that it intends to complete a non‐brokered private placement for up to 25,000,000 units at a price of $0.02 per unit raising gross proceeds of up to $500,000 pursuant to a discretionary waiver from the TSX Venture Exchange of the $0.05 minimum pricing requirement.
Each unit is comprised of one common share and one share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05 per share, for a period of two years from closing, subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange dated April 21, 2016.
The company is currently working with the TSX Venture Exchange and its creditors to restructure the outstanding debt through a combination of the following (1) a substantial reduction of the outstanding debt ($0.50 on the $1.00), (2) shares (shares for debt) and (3) cash payments.
Proceeds from the private placement in the amount for up to $309,000 will be used for further exploration and development on the Company’s Murry Brook polymetallic project in New Brunswick. Up to $66,000 will be used to settle related party debt and up to $125,000 will be used for general working capital.
Finder’s fees may be payable in cash, shares or warrants or a combination may be paid on connection with the private placement.
The securities to be issued with respect to the private placement will be subject to a four‐month and a day hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian Securities Laws. Completion of the private placement and any finder’s fees payable are subject to regulatory approvals.
