By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., June 15 - Yukon-Nevada Gold Corp. said it sold C$6 million of 11% 42-month unsecured convertible debentures to Whitebox Advisors LLC in a private placement. Odeon Capital Group, LLC was the agent. The investor may buy an additional C$4 million of convertibles on the same terms within a month of settlement and another C$2 million of debentures within four months.

The debentures will be convertible at a conversion price equal to the greater of C$0.15 and 95% of the market price.

Whitebox was also paid a 10% structuring fee in the form of 2,010,126 common shares along with 20,101,259 warrants, which are each exercisable at C$0.30 for three years. The strike price is identical to the June 14 closing share price.

Proceeds will be used for the development of Starvation Canyon mine, to expand production at the SSX/Steer mine and to begin work on the clean-up of historic rock disposal areas. These funds will enable Yukon-Nevada to maintain its focus on and momentum in ramping up ore production from the Jerritt Canyon property.
