Mariana Resources raises 2.6 million at premium thanks to strong interest in new gold-silver discovery
South American based explorer Mariana Resources (AIM: MARL) has undertaken a share placement at 13 pence per share to raise a total 2.6 million to fund the exploration programme at its Dos Calandrias gold-silver project in Argentina.
The placement price represents an impressive 6% premium to the companys yesterdays closing price of 12.25 pence per share.
Marianas broker FinnCap and co-broker GMP Europe have registered demand to place 12 million shares. The companys nomad RFC has also received indicative commitments to place a further US$1 million of shares; Mariana also has pledges through non-brokered private placement to issue an additional five million shares to existing and new shareholders.
The proceeds of 2.6 million will be used to fund follow-up exploration at the Dos Calandrias gold-silver project in the Deseado Massif region of Argentina, where a significant gold-silver discovery was confirmed late last month.
The level of interest in the new discovery at Calandrias Sur has been overwhelming. An accelerated follow-up field program has been designed to deliver a better understanding of the project's potential and in return unlock further value for shareholders, said Managing Director of Mariana Resources John Sutcliffe.
Best intersections form the Calandria Sur included 91.5m (metres) at 1.6 g/t Au (gold) and 17 g/t Ag (silver) from 3.5m, including 21m at 4.5 g/t Au and 39 g/t Ag from 40m.
Shares in Mariana rallied 16% to 14.22 pence on the news this morning.
FinnCap was encouraged by the news, saying that following the fundraising that secured funds for further exploration at the Calandria Sur, the value of the discovery at Los Calandrias alone was 19 pence, compared to the companys current share price of just over 14 pence. This valuation did not include what the broker said was a considerable potential upside from further drilling next year.
The initial valuation of Calandria South was based on Patagonia Golds more advanced Cap-Oeste deposit 200 km (kilometres) to the west. FinnCap said this project provided a good example of the potential upside so South Calandria at its much earlier stage of development. The valuation was based on an assumed initial resource of 250,000 oz (ounces) over the strike length drilled to date valued at US$150 per oz.

Mariana Resources Ltd ('Mariana Resources' or 'the Company')
Joint Venture Agreement with Hochschild - Argentina
12 November 2009
Mariana Resources Ltd, the AIM quoted exploration and development
company focussed in Argentina and Chile, has signed a joint venture
agreement with Hochschild Mining Holdings ('Hochschild') to explore
and develop three adjoining prospective gold-silver tenements
totalling 13,455 hectares, located in the Santa Cruz area in the
western sector of the Deseado Massif in southern Argentina. These
tenements consist of the Company's Amigos I and Amigos II licence
areas and Hochschild's San Augustin property which are located circa
110km south of Hochschild's producing gold-silver San Jose Mine.
Highlights
* Joint venture agreement signed with Hochschild to explore
adjoining properties in southern Argentina (Mariana - 49% and
Hochschild - 51%)
* Licences under review are under-explored, large intact high-level
epithermal vein system, prospective for gold and silver
* Mariana and Hochschild to spend US$2 million over three years on
a 40/60 basis
* Hochschild can increase its interest in the joint venture to 70%
through committing 60% of US$3 million in the subsequent two
years and taking the project to a Pre-Feasibility stage
* Exploration drilling anticipated to commence in the second
quarter of 2010
Managing Director John Sutcliffe said, "With Hochschild as a major
shareholder in Mariana, we are delighted to have further strengthened
our relationship and look forward to working with such an experienced
producer on this exciting project. We believe that the project
offers considerable opportunities, providing both companies access to
a large consolidated target area where gold and silver mineralisation
may extend across common property boundaries.
"Additionally, following our success at the Dos Calandrias project,
having recently made a significant gold-silver discovery, we believe
this deal further underpins our position as a significant explorer in
the emerging Santa Cruz gold district and our ability to generate
projects with high potential."

Explorer Mariana Resources is following its gold discovery at Dos Calandrias in Argentina with a 2.6m placing
Aussie explorer Mariana Resources is following its gold discovery at Dos Calandrias in Argentina with a 2.6 million placing at 13p.
The AIM-quoted company, which has hailed drilling results from the gold and silver project in Argentinas Deseado Massif as exceptional, says it wants the money for follow-up exploration there. According to New South Wales-based Mariana, its broker FinnCap and co-broker GMP Europe have registered demand for about 1.5 million, with nominated adviser RFC receiving indicative commitments for around 600,000 from the USA.
Steered by managing director John Sutcliffe, the company has received private pledges for another 650,000.

Interesting day. Shot up over 20p around 2.00PM, eventually settling up 2p on the day. Could only get a further 5000 online from Barclays Stockbrokers, just before the close. Tried for more but that was their online limit. Makes me think that something is afoot!
