New Issue: Vannessa Ventures prices C$3 million convertible note

By Laura Lutz

Des Moines, April 23 - Vannessa Ventures Ltd. plans to conduct a private placement of an unsecured convertible note for C$3 million.

Auro Investments Pty. Ltd. will buy the 8% two-year note.

At any time, Auro will be able to convert the note into units of one share and one half-share warrant at C$0.41 per unit. Each whole warrant will be exercisable at C$0.45 for two years.

Vannessa may prepay the note at any time more than one year after issuance.

The deal will be non-brokered.

The note offering is in addition to a C$6.5 million non-brokered private placement of units that priced on April 18. Auro also agreed to subscribe for C$2 million in that deal.

The placement of units will include up to 18,571,429 units of one share and one half-share warrant at C$0.35 per unit. Each whole warrant will be exercisable at C$0.45 for two years.

Exploram Enterprises Ltd., a private company that already holds a controlling interest in Vannessa, will subscribe for C$1.5 million of the units.

Proceeds will be used to advance development of the company's Crucitas project in Costa Rica, to fund international arbitration and to establish a cash reserve as well as for general corporate expenses.

Vannessa is a mining company based in Calgary, Alta.
