Knoxville, Tenn., Dec. 31 - El Nino Ventures Inc. said it raised C$303,000 in the second and final tranche of a C$1.66 million non-brokered private placement of units. The deal priced for C$2 million on May 14 and was amended to raise C$4 million on June 25. The company again amended the placement to raise C$3 million on Sept. 7 and raised C$1.35 million on Oct. 5.

The company sold 9,315,000 flow-through units of one flow-through common share and one half-share warrant at C$0.10 per unit. The whole warrants are exercisable at C$0.16 each for 18 months.

The company also sold 8,032,800 non-flow-through units of one common share and one half-share warrant at C$0.09 per unit. These warrants are exercisable at C$0.15 each for 18 months.

The warrant strike prices are 23.08% and 15.39% premiums to the May 11 closing share price of C$0.13.

In the first tranche, the company sold 8,865,000 flow-through units and 5,166,133 non-flow-through units. Pacific North West Capital Corp. was among the investors for this tranche. In the second tranche, the company sold 450,000 flow-through units and 2,866,667 non-flow-through units.
