including the full amount of the over-allotment option, for aggregate gross
proceeds of C$28,980,000.
A total of 27,600,000 units of LIM, including those issued pursuant to the
exercise of the over-allotment option, were issued and sold at a price of
C$1.05 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share of LIM and one-half of
one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder to
purchase one common share of LIM at an exercise price of C$1.35 per common
share for a period of 36 months following the closing of the offering. The
warrants have been listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and will trade under
the symbol LIM.WT.
The offering was completed by a syndicate of underwriters led by Canaccord
Genuity Corp. and included RBC Dominion Securities Inc., Scotia Capital Inc.,
Macquarie Capital Markets Canada Ltd., Jennings Capital Inc. and Raymond James
Ltd.
LIM intends to use the net proceeds to fund pre-stripping, mining and
processing costs, including payments to LIM's mining contractors, and
transportation costs in connection with the seasonal resumption of production
operations in April 2013; also to supplement working capital and general and
administrative costs for the remaining winter season.
