Montreal, Quebec, June 19, 2002

 

 

Golden Tag Resources Ltd. (TSX Venture Exchange: GOG) (“Golden Tag”) announces that on June 18, 2002, it completed its private placement through Haywood Securities Inc. (Haywood") of Vancouver, B.C. of 1,300,000 common shares of Golden Tag at a price of $0.40 per share (the "Offering"), as previously announced on May 23, 2002. Of these shares, 650,000 are designated as flow-through shares. Purchasers of the remaining 650,000 non-flow-through shares also received a half-warrant for each Golden Tag share purchased. Each whole warrant is exercisable to acquire a further Golden Tag share for a two-year period from the date of issuance at a price of $0.50 in the first year and $0.60 in the second year. Haywood received a commission on the gross proceeds of the Offering, as well as agent's warrants totalling 10% of the total number of common shares issued under the Offering. Each agent's warrant is exercisable to acquire a Golden Tag share for a two year period at a price of $0.40. Haywood will also be reimbursed for its reasonable costs associated with the Offering.  All securities issued under this Offering have a four month hold period attached to them.

 

Proceeds from the Offering will be used to finance Golden Tag's portion of the exploration program on the McCuaig Red Lake Joint Venture (Golden Tag 40%-Rubicon Minerals Corp 60%) in Red Lake, Ontario, and for general working capital.

 

The McCuaig Property lies within the Dorion McCuaig Corridor where Rubicon Minerals, the joint venture operator, recently announced several high grade drill intercepts over mineable widths including 0.67 ounces per ton gold over 10.2 feet and 0.74 ounces per ton gold over 5.6 feet.
