Gold loses some luster after Trump’s decisive win
Gold’s slide is a marked turnaround for a commodity that had surged by more than 30% in the year leading up to the US vote.
Northern Tiger Resources Inc. (TSX-V:NTR) has closed a brokered private placement of 8.622 million flow-through common share at a price of $0.55 per share for proceeds of $4.742 million. The private placement was initially announced on February 14, 2011 and contemplated raising gross proceeds up to $3 million.
The deal is subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.
“We are pleased to be closing another significantly over-subscribed private placement,” said Northern Tiger President Greg Hayes. “We are now very well financed to follow-up our high-grade gold discovery at 3Ace with an aggressive 2011 exploration program, as well as continue to advance our other promising Yukon projects.”
Net proceeds from the offering will be used primarily for exploration on the 3Ace property in the southeast Yukon.

The warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.80 for a period of 18 months from the date of issuance.
