Rotation Minerals Ltd. (the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has received TSX Venture Exchange approval for and closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement of 4,000,000 flowthrough units and 4,000,000 non-flow-through units, at a price of $0.05 per flow-through unit and nonflow-through unit, to raise proceeds of $400,000. Each flow-through unit consists of one flow-through common share and one warrant to purchase an additional common share, at $0.05 per share, until June 22, 2018. Each non-flow-through unit consists of one non-flow-through common share and one warrant to purchase an additional common share, at $0.05 per share, until June 22, 2018. No finder’s fee or commission were paid in connection with the private placement.
All of the shares, warrants and any shares issued upon exercise of the warrants comprising the flowthrough units and non-flow-through units are subject to a hold period until October 23, 2016, except as permitted by applicable Canadian securities laws and the TSX Venture Exchange.
The proceeds from the flow-through portion of the private placement will be expended on exploration of the Issuer’s properties located in British Columbia. The proceeds from the non-flowthrough portion of the private placement will be used to pay debt and for working capital purposes.

The Company is advised by Mr. Rourke that the shares, warrants and stock option were acquired for investment purposes.
