(CSE: CRVC) (FSE: C6R) (the "Company") announces that it has closed the previously announced brokered private placement offering (the "Offering") of flow-through units of the Company (the "FT Units") at a price of $0.37 per FT Unit (the "Offering Price") for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $1,929,070.11. The Offering was led by Mackie Research Capital Corporation as sole agent and sole bookrunner (the "Agent").
The gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the FT Units will be used to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" ("CEE") that are "flow-through mining expenditures" (as such term is defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act")) related to the Company's mining projects.

Each FT Unit consists of one common share of the Company that qualifies as a "flow-through share" within the meaning of subsection 66(15) the Tax Act (a "FT Common Share"), and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant") that qualifies as a "flow-through share" within the meaning of subsection 66(15) the Tax Act. Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one common share in the capital of the Company (a "Common Share") at an exercise price of $0.46 at any time up to 36 months following the closing of the Offering (the "Closing").
The FT Units, the securities underlying the FT Units and the Compensation Options (as defined herein) to be issued under the Offering will have a hold period of four months and one day from the Closing.
In connection with the Offering, the Agent received a cash commission and the Company issued to the Agent 417,096 compensation options (the "Compensation Options"). Each Compensation Option entitles the holder thereof to purchase one unit of the Company (a "Unit") at an exercise price equal to the Offering Price for a period of 36 months following the Closing. Each Unit consists of one Common Share and one-half of one Warrant.
The securities described herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any state securities laws, and accordingly, may not be offered or sold within the United States except in compliance with the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities requirements or pursuant to exemptions therefrom.
