Tesoro closes second tranche of placement, total now C$1.46 million

Company aims to price C$1.8 million of units in total

New York, Jan. 13 - Tesoro Minerals Corp. announced that it completed the second tranche of its non-brokered private placement of units, bringing the size to C$1.46 million.

The company said it still intends to sell further units to bring the amount to C$1.8 million. Tesoro increased the offering to that size on Dec. 18 when it closed the first tranche for C$455,000. Originally the deal was to be for C$1.3 million.

In the latest tranche, Tesoro sold 10,050,000 units. The company paid finder's fees of 7% in cash and 7% in broker warrants for a total of 577,500 broker warrants.

Each unit is being sold at a price of C$0.10 and is made up of one common share and one warrant.

Each five-year warrant is exercisable at C$0.20 in the first year, C$0.25 in the second year, C$0.30 in the third year, C$0.35 in the fourth year and at C$0.40 in the fifth year. The strike prices are 100%, 150%, 200%, 250% and 300% premiums to the Nov. 22 closing share price of C$0.10.

Proceeds will be used for the evaluation of the company's gold exploration projects in Colombia and for general corporate purposes.

The gold explorer is based in Vancouver, B.C.
