(Expressed in Canadian dollars - unaudited) |
For the six months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011 |
1. Nature and continuance of operations
Rouge Resources Ltd (the “Company”) was incorporated on March 31, 1988 in British Columbia, Canada. The Company’s registered office address is located at 203 - 409 Granville St., Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 1T2. The Company is an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of exploration and evaluation assets in Canada. The Company continues to monitor claims in North-Central Ontario and plans to make additional acquisitions in this and other areas when and if the claims are considered to be strategic or otherwise beneficial to the Company. Effective August 30, 2012, the Company’s shares were listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the trading symbol ROU (see Note 12).
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as agoing concern,meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. Different bases of measurement may be appropriate if the Company is not expected to continue operations for the foreseeable future. As at July 31, 2012, the Company had not advanced any of its properties to commercial production and is not able to finance day-to-day business activities through its operations The Company’s continuation as agoing concernis dependent upon the successful results from its mineral property exploration activities; its ability to attain profitable operations; and its ability to raise equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet current and future obligations. Management intends to finance operating expenses over the next twelve months from existing cash reserves, private placement of common shares and/or loans from officers/ directors.
2. Significant accounting policies and basis of preparation
These financial statements were authorized for issue on September 20, 2012 by the directors of the Company.
Statement of compliance and conversion to International Financial Reporting Standards
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) along with interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). Therefore, these financial statements comply with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34,Interim Financial Reporting.
This interim financial report does not include all of the information required of a full annual financial report and is intended to provide users with an update in relation to events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Company since the end of the last annual reporting period. It is therefore recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the audited annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended January 31, 2012 filed on SEDAR. However, this interim financial report does provide selected significant disclosures that are required in the annual financial statements under IFRS.
Basis of preparation
These condensed interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted; have been prepared on an accrual basis; and are based on historical costs, modified where applicable.
Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements |
(Expressed in Canadian dollars - unaudited) |
For the six months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011 |
Areas requiring a significant degree of estimation and judgment relate to the determination of the useful lives of furniture and equipment, the recoverability of the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets, measurement of accrued liabilities and recoverability/ measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from those estimates and judgments.
Foreign currency translation and balances
The functional currency of the Company is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates. The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars which is the Company’s functional currency.
Foreign currency transactions, where applicable, are translated into Canadian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items or on settlement of monetary items, if any, are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Loss in the period in which they arise, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Loss to the extent that gains and losses arising on those non-monetary items are also recognized in other comprehensive income. Where the non-monetary gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss, the exchange component is also recognized in profit or loss.
Exploration and evaluation expenditures
Exploration and evaluation expenditures include the costs of acquiring licenses, costs associated with exploration and evaluation activity, and the fair value (at acquisition date) of exploration and evaluation assets acquired in a business combination. Exploration and evaluation expenditures are capitalized. Costs incurred before the Company has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are expensed in the Statement of Comprehensive Loss. Government tax credits received are recorded as a reduction to the cumulative costs incurred and capitalized on the related property.
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if: (i) insufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability; and (ii) facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified to mining property and development assets.
The recoverability of the carrying values of exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on: the existence of economically recoverable ore reserves, the ability to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of such ore reserves, and the possible success of future operations or, alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest. The Company has not yet determined whether any of its exploration and evaluation assets contain economically recoverable reserves.
Loss per share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the period. For all periods presented, the loss attributable to common shareholders equals the reported loss attributable to owners of the Company. Diluted loss per share is calculated by the treasury stock method. Under this method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the calculation of diluted loss per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive share options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. Any stock options or share purchase warrants outstanding cause the calculation of diluted loss per share to be anti-dilutive and are therefore not included in the calculation.

For the six months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011 |
Share-based payments
The Company has a stock option plan. Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortized over the vesting periods. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. Compensation expense is recognized and the corresponding amount is recorded in the share option reserve. The fair value of options is determined using the Black–Scholes pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognized for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest. When the options are exercised, share capital is credited for the consideration received and the related share option reserve is decreased.
Financial instruments
Financialassets
The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: fair value through profit or loss investments (“FVTPL”), loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, available-for-sale investments and financial liabilities. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial instruments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition.
Financial assets are classified at fair value through profit or loss when they are held-for-trading for the purpose of short-term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying value being included in profit or loss.
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortized cost. They are included in current assets, or classified as non-current assets where maturities are greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period.
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the Company’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Held-to-maturity investments are included in non-current assets, except for those instruments that are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period.
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not suitable to be classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables or held-to-maturity investments and are subsequently measured at fair value. These are included in current assets. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income, except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary financial assets.
Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortized cost.

For the six months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011 |
Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade-date, ie. the date on which the group commits to purchase the asset.
Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.
Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are initially recorded at fair value and classified upon inception as FVTPL or other financial liabilities.
Financial liabilities classified as other financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized costs using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.
The Company’s trade payables and accrued liabilities and related party payables are classified as other financial liabilities.
Financial liabilities classified as FVTPL include financial liabilities held-for-trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as FVTPL. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives, are also classified as held for trading and recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Fair value changes on financial liabilities classified as FVTPL are recognized in earnings. The Company is not exposed to any derivative instruments and has no foreign exchange hedges in place at this time.
Impairment of assets
The carrying amount of the Company’s non-financial assets, namely its exploration and evaluation assets, is reviewed for indications of impairment at each reporting date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. An impairment loss is recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Loss when the carrying amount of the asset, or its cash-generating unit, exceeds its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows largely independent of the cash flows from other assets or groups of assets. Impairment losses recognized in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit on a pro-rata basis.
An impairment loss is only reversed if there is an indication that the impairment loss may no longer exist due to a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. However, the reversal can not result in an amount greater than the carrying amount (net of depreciation or amortization) that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized in previous years. An impairment loss with respect to goodwill is never reversed.

For the six months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011 |
Assets that have an indefinite useful life (ie. not subject to amortization) are tested annually for impairment.
Income taxes
Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date, in the countries where the Company operates and generates taxable income.
Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in other comprehensive income or equity is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity and not in profit or loss. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax is provided using the balance sheet method on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized only to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Flow-through shares
On the issuance of flow-through shares, any premium received in excess of the closing market price of the Company’s common shares is initially recorded as a liability (“flow-through tax liability”) and included in trade payables and accrued liabilities. Provided that the Company has renounced the related expenditures, or that there is a reasonable expectation that it will do so, the flow-through tax liability is reduced on a pro-rata basis as the expenditures are incurred and a deferred tax liability is recognized. The reduction to the flow-through tax liability is recognized in profit or loss as other income.
To the extent that the Company has suitable unrecognized deductible temporary differences, an offsetting recovery of deferred income taxes would be recorded.
Restoration and environmental obligations
The Company recognizes liabilities for statutory, contractual, constructive or legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-term assets, when those obligations result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of the assets. The net present value of future restoration cost estimates arising from the decommissioning of plant and other site preparation work is capitalized to exploration and evaluation assets along with a corresponding increase in the restoration provision in the period incurred. Discount rates using a pre-tax rate that reflects the time value of money are used to calculate the net present value. The restoration asset will be depreciated on the same basis as other mining assets.

(Expressed in Canadian dollars - unaudited) |
For the six months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011 |
The Company’s estimates of restoration costs could change as a result of changes in regulatory requirements, discount rates and assumptions regarding the amount and timing of the future expenditures. These changes are recorded directly to exploration and evaluation assets with a corresponding entry to the restoration provision. The Company’s estimates are reviewed annually for changes in regulatory requirements, discount rates, effects of inflation and changes in estimates.
Changes in the net present value, excluding changes in the Company’s estimates of reclamation costs, are charged to profit and loss for the period. The net present value of restoration costs arising from subsequent site damage that is incurred on an ongoing basis during production are charged to profit or loss in the period incurred.
The costs of restoration projects that were included in the provision are recorded against the provision as incurred. The costs to prevent and control environmental impacts at specific properties are capitalized in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation assets.
At present, the Company is not required to provide for restoration and environmental obligations. Accordingly, no provision has been made.
Asset Retirement Obligation
The Company is subject to various government laws and regulations relating to environmental disturbances caused by exploration and evaluation activities and may from time to time incur asset retirement obligations and the associated retirement costs related to site reclamation and abandonment. The fair value of the liability for an asset retirement obligation is recorded when it is incurred and the corresponding increase to the asset is depreciated over the life of the asset. The liability is increased over time to reflect an accretion element considered in the initial measurement at fair value. As at the interim period ended July 31, 2012 and the year ended January 31, 2012, the Company had not incurred any asset retirement obligation related to its exploration and evaluation assets.
Financing Costs
Professional, consulting, regulatory, agency commissions and other costs directly attributable to either shares or debt financing transactions are recorded as deferred financing costs until the financing transaction is completed, if completion of the transaction is considered likely; otherwise these costs are expensed as incurred. Share and debt issuance costs are charged to either share capital or debt carry value respectively when the financing transaction is completed. Deferred financing costs related to financing transactions not completed are charged to expense.
Equipment
Equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part, if applicable, is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of loss and comprehensive loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss.
Amortization is calculated on a declining balance method to write off the cost of the assets down to their residual values at the rate of 30% per year.

The original Dotted Lake Property (“Dotted Lake Property”) was originally comprised of one claim acquired by the Company in 2001 at a cost of $200,000. The claim was allowed to lapse in 2002 and accordingly was written off during the year ended January 31, 2003. It was re-staked by the Company in March 2003. In October 2009, the Company expanded its 100% owned holdings in the original Dotted Lake Property from a single claim to ten claims by means of staking at a cost of approximately $11,055. Title to the Property was originally held in trust for the Company by a director of the Company. Title was transferred to the Company during the year ended January 31, 2012.
On April 20, 2010, the Company entered into an option to purchase agreement with local prospectors (the “Optionors”) regarding an additional two claims adjacent to the Dotted Lake Property, known as the Lampson Lake Property. The Company has an exclusive option to purchase a 100% interest in these two claims by making option payments totaling $60,000 as follows: $7,000 paid on April 20, 2010 when the agreement was signed; $12,000 paid on April 20, 2011; $16,000 paid on April 20, 2012; and $25,000 payable on April 20, 2013. These claims are subject to a 2% net smelter royalty (“NSR”) in favour of the Optionors on one claim and with respect to the other, a combination of a 2% NSR in favour of the Optionors and a 1% NSR on any metals and/or a 1% Net Sales Return royalty payable to Ontario Exploration Company (“OEC”) on any precious metals recovered from the property. The Company has the right to buy back 1% of the NSR in favour of the Optioners for $1,000,000 and to buy back three-quarters of 1% of the royalty vested with OEC over 10 years on an increasing scale from $15,000 to $750,000. In anticipation of meeting the final payment schedule, title was transferred to the Company during the year ended January 31, 2012. However, beneficial interest in the property will not be transferred until the final option payment of $25,000 is made on or before April 20, 2013.
Although our work on the Dotted Lake Property in the past three years has identified some gold mineralization hosted in sulphide rich shear bands in granitoid rock, there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on our exploration and evaluation assets. Further exploration is required before a final evaluation of the economic feasibility can be determined. Significant additional financing and considerable time and effort will be required before our mineral claims can be further explored and, if warranted, developed into a commercial enterprise.

In order to meet the unallocated working capital requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange in connection with the two financings and the Company’s listing on the Exchange (see Note 13), one of the two director/officers, who is also a shareholder of the Company, entered into an Agreement with the Company on June 30, 2012 to defer $100,000 of loans owed to him to a date on or after December 31, 2013. Consequently, this amount was reclassified as a long term liability thereby reducing the Company’s current working capital deficiency.
All amounts payable to related parties are non-interest bearing and unsecured with no fixed term of repayment.
The Company had the following transactions with two directors and officers of the Company during the six months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011 and the year ended January 31, 2012:

9. Share capital
Authorized share capital
Unlimited number of common shares without par value.
Issued share capital
At July 31, 2012, there were 40,565,171 issued and fully paid common shares outstanding (January 31, 2012 –40,565,171). Although no shares were issued during the six months ended July 31, 2012share subscriptions of $108,000 were received in cash in connection with the Company’s non-brokered private placement financing of up to $200,000 from an offering of 800,000 units announced March 16, 2012. The closure of this financing was announced August 28, 2012 in conjunction with the Company’s concurrent brokered private placement. (see Note 12)
Basic and diluted loss per share
The calculation of basic and diluted loss per share for the six months ended July 31, 2012 was based on the comprehensive loss attributable to common shareholders of $130,420 (July 31, 2011 - $117,833) and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 40,565,171 (July 31, 2011 – 40,565,171).
Stock options
The Company’s stock option plan is in the form of a rolling stock option plan, which provides that a committee of the Board of Directors may from time to time, at its discretion, grant to directors, officers, employees and consultants to the Company, non-transferable stock options to purchase common shares, provided that the number of common shares reserved for issuance in any twelve month period will not exceed 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares. Such options will be exercisable for a period of up to 5 years from the date of grant at a price not less than the closing price of the Company’s shares on the last trading day before the grant of such options less any discount, if applicable, but in any event not less than $0.10 per share
The number of common shares reserved for issuance to any one optionee insider in any twelve month period will not exceed ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding common shares and the number of common shares reserved for issuance to any one employee or consultant will not exceed two percent (2%) of the issued and outstanding common shares. Options may be exercised no later than 90 days following cessation of the optionee’s position with the Company or 30 days following cessation of an optionee conducting investor relations activities’ position.

2015 | $ | 84,000 | |

In addition, the Company has certain allowances in respect of resource exploration and development costs incurred amounting to approximately $413,000 which, subject to certain restrictions, are available to offset future taxable income. The application of both the non-capital losses and the resource exploration and development allowances against future taxable income is subject to final determination of the respective amounts by the Canada Revenue Agency. A valuation allowance has been used to offset the net benefit related to the future tax assets due to the uncertainty associated with the ultimate realization of the non-capital losses and resource allowances before expiry.

11. Financial risk and capital management
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes, inclusive of documented investment policies, counterparty limits, and controlling & reporting structures. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed by the Company is as follows:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company’s primary exposure to credit risk is on its cash held in bank accounts. The majority of cash is deposited in bank accounts held with one major bank in Canada so there is a concentration of credit risk. This risk is managed by using a major bank that is a high credit quality financial institution as determined by rating agencies. The Company’s secondary exposure to risk is on its harmonized sales tax refundable which is minimal since it is recoverable from the Canadian Government.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis. The Company attempts to ensure there is sufficient access to funds to meet on-going business requirements, taking into account its current cash position and potential funding sources.
Historically, the Company's source of funding has been either the issuance of equity securities for cash through private placements or loans from directors and officers. The Company’s access to financing is always uncertain and there can be no assurance of continued access to significant funding from these sources.
Foreign exchange risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the Company’s functional currency. The Company only operates in Canada and is therefore not exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from transactions denominated in a foreign currency.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk relates to its ability to earn interest income on cash balances at variable rates. Changes in short term interest rates will not have a significant effect on the fair value of the Company’s cash account.
Commodity Price Risk
The Company’s ability to raise capital to fund exploration or development activities is subject to risks associated with fluctuations in the market price of precious metals. The Company closely monitors commodity prices to determine the most appropriate course of action.
Capital Management
The Company's policy is to maintain a strong capital base sufficient to maintain investor and creditor confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The capital structure of the Company consists of working and share capital. There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the period and the Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

Fair value
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities approximate the carrying amounts.
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
The following is a breakdown of the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value as at July 31, 2012 and January 31, 2012:

11. Segmented information
The Company operates in a single reportable operating segment being the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties, currently all located in Canada.
12. Subsequent event
On August 28, 2012, the Company announced closure of its brokered private placement financing through Canaccord Genuity Corp. (the “Agent”) for $829,000 (3,316,000 Units) and its non-brokered private placement financing for $188,000 (752,000 Units) for combined gross proceeds of $1,017,000. The Units of the Company were sold for $0.25 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share and one transferable share purchase warrant, with each warrant entitling the holder to acquire one additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.40 per share for a period of one year from the date of closing. The financings were completed in conjunction with the Company’s listing on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) and the shares commenced trading on August 30, 2012 under the symbol ROU. This increase of 4,068,000 shares brings the total issued and outstanding to 44,633,171 shares at this time.
The common shares and warrants comprising the Units and any common shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants are subject to a four month hold period which expires on December 29, 2012.
A cash commission of $58,030 was paid to the Agent equal to 7% of the gross proceeds raised from the brokered private placement as well as a corporate finance fee of $30,000.
The net proceeds received by the Company from the two financings, after deduction of the Agent’s Commission, the corporate finance fee and the balance of the costs to complete the brokered financing, totaled $892,660. The Company’s intention is to use these funds to eliminate the current working capital deficiency; to continue exploration activities on the Dotted Lake Property; to complete the option agreement regarding purchase of the adjacent Lampson Lake claims (see Note 5); and to meet on-going working capital requirements.
