GOOD NEWS! But apparently hasn't reached investors yet..GOLD RESERVE RECEIVES U.S.$12.7 MILLION FROM WARRANTS
SPOKANE, Washington, Sept. 17 /CNW/ - Gold Reserve Corporation (TSE - GLR; NASDAQ - GLDR) is pleased to announce that it has received US$12.7 million from the exercise of warrants to purchase common shares. The warrants to purchase 979,500 common shares at US$13 for a total of US$12,733,500, were originally issued as part of a US$23 million financing in 1994. Gold Reserve now has approximately US$40 million (CDN$54 million) in cash, no debt and 22.6 million shares outstanding. The proceeds from the exercise of the warrants will primarily be used to continue development of the Brisas property, including increased exploration drilling in the new southwest zone, El Remo area and other targets on the property, and for other opportunities which may become available to the Company. The Company plans to announce later this week its results of the Phase IV 25 x 25 meter infill drill program recently completed on the Pozo Azul zone located on the Brisas property. Gold Reserve is exploring and developing the Brisas property in KM 88 in Southeastern Venezuela.
