New Issue: East Asia Minerals closes PIPE with partially exercised greenshoe for C$15.74 million

By Sheri Kasprzak

New York, Oct. 27 - East Asia Minerals Corp. concluded its previously announced private placement, including a partially exercised over-allotment option, for C$15,738,750.

The company issued a total of 12,591,000 units at C$1.25 each. A syndicate of underwriters led by Pacific International Securities Inc. and including Canaccord Capital Corp. and Salman Partners Inc. exercised a greenshoe for 1,621,000 units. The underwriters had been granted an over-allotment option for 2 million units.

The units are composed of one share and one half-share warrant. The whole warrants allow for the purchase of another share at C$1.75 each for two years.

The expiry of the warrants may be accelerated to 30 days if the company's stock trades above C$2.75 for 20 consecutive trading days four months after closing.

The deal was first announced Sept. 29 as a C$12.5 million offering under the same terms, but was upsized to a C$13,712,500 offering on Oct. 12.

Proceeds will be used for exploration on the company's Mongolian properties and general corporate purposes.

Based in Vancouver, B.C., East Asia is a mineral exploration company.
