Brian Arkell, CEO and President of Caza Gold Corp. is pleased to announce that the Company has closed its non-brokered private placement of US$3.8 million and finalized the purchase of the Los Andes gold project in Nicaragua.
Closing of US$3,800,000 Private Placement Pursuant to an investment agreement with Polygon Mining Opportunity Master Fund (“Polygon”) dated December 18, 2014, the Company has issued to Polygon 88,160,000 units at a price of CAD$0.05 per unit, for gross proceeds of US$3.8 million. Please see the Company’s news release dated December 19, 2014 for further details of the Investment Agreement. Each unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant.
