|
| September 13, 2010 - Orko Silver Corp (the "Company") (TSXV- OK) is pleased to provide an update on the non-brokered private placement announced on September 8, 2010. The Company intends to issue to a group of European investors, on a non-brokered private placement basis, approximately 700,000 common shares at an issue price of Cdn$1.65 per common share (the "Issue Price") for gross proceeds to the Company of Cdn$1,155,000 (the "Non-Brokered Placement").
On September 8, 2010, the Company announced that Pan American Silver Corp. ("Pan American"), the Company's joint venture partner and the operator of the La Preciosa silver development project, would participate in the Non-Brokered Placement. Pan American has indicated that they will not participate in the Non-Brokered Placement.
Since forming the joint venture in mid-2009, Pan American has invested approximately $10 million in the exploration and development of La Preciosa and wants to dedicate their financial resources solely to the significant on-site and related engineering and technical work required to prepare a Preliminary Economic Assessment for the project, which is scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of this year.
The Non-Brokered Placement is being sold concurrent to a private placement announced on September 1, 2010 and increased on September 8, 2010, from Cdn$7 million to approximately Cdn$14 million. The private placement common shares are being sold at the Issue Price on a "best efforts" private placement basis, without underwriter liability, by a syndicate of agents led by GMP Securities L.P. and including Byron Securities Limited (collectively, the "Agents)
The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes.
Both the private placement and Non-Brokered Placement are scheduled to close on or about September 21, 2010 and are subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the securities regulatory authorities.
