Bayswater Closes Non-Brokered Private Placement
Vancouver, BC, November 17, 2008 - Bayswater Uranium Corporation (TSX-V: BAY) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed its non-brokered private placement previously announced on November 5, 2008. The Company issued 7,500,000 flow-through units (the “Units”) at a price of $0.10 per Unit raising aggregate gross proceeds of $750,000. Each Unit comprises one flow-through common share and one half of one transferable share purchase warrant. Each whole Warrant is exercisable into one additional common share at an exercise price of $0.20 per common share until May 11, 2010. The Company will not be accepting any further subscriptions on this private placement.
On the $750,000 raised, finders’ fees are being paid in the aggregate of 637,500 common shares of the Company at a deemed price of $0.10 and 525,000 broker warrants. Each broker warrant is exercisable into one common share at a price of $0.10 per share until May 11, 2010. The term of the broker’s warrants were reduced to 18 months from closing rather than two years as previously announced.
All of the securities issued under the private placement are subject to a four-month hold period expiring on March 13, 2009.
The gross proceeds raised from the issuance of the FT Units will be used for general exploration expenditures, which will constitute Canadian exploration expenses (as defined in the Income Tax Act) and will be renounced for the 2008 taxation year. The funds will be used to advance and maintain tenure to the Company’s key Canadian properties (including the Brudell Lake property in the Athabasca Basin and the Amer West-Itza Lake target in the North Thelon Basin) while protecting its strong hard dollar cash position. Maintaining the Company’s cash position and diversified uranium property portfolio are the cornerstones of the cost reduction and growth plans previously disclosed in a new release dated October 30, 2008. This capital raise relates to the flow through funds required as stated in the referenced news release. Further such capital raises are not currently required in order to maintain key Canadian property assets.About Bayswater Uranium Corporation - The Super Junior™ Uranium Company
