Thirteen million (13,000,000) common shares of the private placement were purchased by Sun Valley Gold Master Fund, Ltd., representing approximately 16% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Strongbow. Net proceeds from the private placement financing will be used to fund exploration activities at Strongbow's Midway gold project in South Carolina as well as general working capital.
"Strongbow welcomes Sun Valley Gold as its newest and largest shareholder. We believe Sun Valley will be a strong partner to Strongbow as they have significant experience investing in South Carolina and their investment in Strongbow is an endorsement of the Company's exploration strategy at the Midway gold project," commented Ken Armstrong, Strongbow's President and Chief Executive Officer.
The Company has paid Haywood a cash fee equal to 5% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the common shares and has issued to Haywood 750,000 Agent's warrants.
