Allana Potash heralds C$1.9 million private placement of equity units

Investor Liberty Metals wishes to maintain 15.97% stake in company

By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., April 1 - Allana Potash Corp. said it negotiated a C$1.9 million non-brokered private placement of units with its largest shareholder, Liberty Metals & Mining Holdings, LLC. The investor intends to maintain its 15.97% ownership through this offering.

The company will sell 1,187,820 units at C$1.60 per unit to Liberty Metals. Each unit consists of one common share and one half-share warrant; the whole warrants are exercisable at C$2.08 for three years. The strike price reflects a 13.04% premium to the March 31 closing share price of C$1.84.

Settlement is expected May 1.

Proceeds will finance a drilling program and feasibility study for the company's main asset, the Ethiopian potash property in the Danakhil evaporite basin, and also be used for general corporate purposes.

Toronto-based Allana is a potash asset developer.
