East Asia Minerals Closes Final Tranche of Private Placement with Insider Participation
Vancouver, November 14, 2018 - East Asia Minerals Corporation (TSXV: EAS) (East Asia Minerals or the "Company") announces that the Company has completed the final tranche of the private placement with an offering of 4,890,000 units for total proceeds of $244,500. There are no finders' fees payable for this tranche. All of the securities distributed under the offering are subject to a four-month hold period expiring March 14, 2019.
The Company CEO, Terry Filbert, participated in this final tranche for a total of 3,400,000 units for total proceeds of $170,000.
Terry Filbert commented "A total of one million seven thousand dollars was raised in the last four tranches which enabled the Company to use the net proceeds of the Offering (after payment of commissions) for completion the Indonesian Feasibility Study and Environmental reports to upgrade the Sangihe license to production status, working capital, and to settle payables while keeping the dilution of the current shareholders to a minimum. We hope to receive the Sangihe license upgrade after we complete the final meeting with the Indonesian mining department (MMER) this month. In addition, we will finalize our previously announced US$15,000,000 credit facility, which will expedite the construction of a production facility at our Sangihe project. I am very excited about the future of the Company and therefore wanted to be a part of the current private placement and look forward to an extremely busy next year which is a result of the hard work our team put in this year!"
