$6.5 MILLION FINANCING ARRANGED
CUMBERLAND RESOURCES LTD. (CBD-TSX) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that, subject to regulatory approval, the Company has arranged a brokered private placement with Dundee Securities Corporation and Canaccord Capital Corporation of up to 2.5 million flow-through common shares at a price of $2.60 per flow-through common share for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $6,500,000.
The agents will receive a 6.0% cash commission on the gross proceeds raised under the offering, together with broker warrants entitling the agents to purchase such number of common shares of the Company equal to 8% of the number of flow-through common shares sold under the offering at a price of $2.60 per common share. The broker's warrants will expire 12 months from the closing of the offering, expected to be on or about December 3, 2002.
The net proceeds from the offering will be used primarily for further exploration on the Company's Meadowbank Gold Project and other eligible Canadian resource properties.
Cumberland Resources Ltd. is positioning itself to become North America's next mid-tier level gold producer by advancing the Meadowbank Project to production.
Cumberland Resources holds interests in two of the largest undeveloped gold projects in Canada: Meadowbank (100%) and Meliadine West (22% carried).
