Corner Bay completes private placement Corner Bay Minerals Inc BAY Shares issued 10,941,109 Dec 10 close $2.65 Mon 13 Dec 99 News Release Mr. Peter Mordaunt reports The company has completed, subject to final approval by the Toronto Stock Exchange, a private placement financing that will raise an initial $1.2-million. The private placement financing consists of 400,000 units priced at $3 per unit. Each unit consists of a common share and a half warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase a common share for $4 over a two-year term. Full exercise of all warrants issued under the private placement would raise an additional $800,000. The proceeds from this financing will finance an upcoming drill program with the purpose of continuing to enhance the existing resource/reserve at the Alamo Dorado silver property located in Sonora, Mexico. The company plans to start drilling in February, 2000. The reverse circulation drill program will be designed to test three exploration targets/areas adjacent to the known resource/reserve: firstly, the northwest extension of the Alamo Dorado where extensive alteration and mineralization exist as evidenced in hole AD-22; secondly, the down dip potential of the deposit in the southern area looking for the feeder zone for the deposit and, finally, the southeast MMI (mobile metal ion) geochemical anomaly (700 by 100 metres) that occurs conformable along strike from the known deposit. The company's geologists and a structural specialist will be working in the field to complete a detailed structural/geological interpretation of the outside exploration targets to obtain the best information possible prior to the commencement of the drill program. This work program will be continuing until late in January, 2000. In other news, all four large diameter core holes have been drilled and the core has been shipped to Tucson where Metcon Research is preparing the material for the metallurgical work including column leach test work. The columns will be loaded before Christmas and the company expects this work to continue into the first quarter of the new year of the new millennium.
