(TSXv: EQT) (FSE: T6U1) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed the second tranche of its private placement previously announced on July 7, 2011. The Company has raised $758,750 through the issuance of 5,058,333 Units (the "Units") at a price of $0.15 per Unit. This second tranche closes the entire private placement for an aggregate of 15,058,333 Units of the Company at a price of $0.15 per Unit for gross proceeds of $2.26 million. The private placement includes a $1.35 million strategic investment by Yield Gold Group Limited (“Yield Gold”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zijin Mining Group Co., Ltd. (“Zijin”).

Each Unit consists of one common share (a "Share") and one half of one share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional Share of the Company for a period of 24 months from the closing date at a price of $0.20 per Share. The Shares and any shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants in this second tranche are subject to a hold period expiring January 22, 2012.
Under the investment agreement between the Company and Yield Gold (the “Agreement”), 9,000,000 Units of the Company were issued to Yield Gold at a price of $0.15 per Unit for gross proceeds of $1.35 million. Upon closing, Yield Gold will own approximately 19.9% of the Company on a fully-diluted basis.
Under the terms of the Agreement, Yield Gold is entitled to a board seat and will have a right of first refusal on the development of properties as proposed by the Company. This right is exercisable for a period of 60 days following the decision by the Company to put any part of its properties into production. Yield Gold also has a right of first refusal on any potential sale of any of its properties which right is exercisable for a period of 60 days from the date an offer is received to purchase such property. Subject to shareholder approval, Yield Gold has also been granted an option to acquire up to an additional number of shares such that its aggregate holdings would be 31% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company on a fully diluted basis.

The option is exercisable any time up to the earlier of the date on which Yield Gold holds 31% of the Company’s shares and 12 months from the date shareholder approval for the option is obtained.
In connection with the closing of the second tranche of the private placement finder's fees totalling $12,000 were paid in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. The proceeds from the private placement will be used for general working capital and mineral exploration on the Company's properties.
