LATIN AMERICA ROUNDUP — Carson financing under way

The first closing of a planned 3-million-unit brokered private placement, at $2.04 per unit, has been completed by Carson Gold (VSE).

The initial placement totals 1.025 million units, of which 725,000 were bought by Venezuelan Goldfields (VSE) for gross proceeds of $2.09 million. Vengold can earn a 60% interest in any of Carson’s Kilometre 88 concessions in Venezuela by assuming all financial obligations for a given property, including exploration and development.

The balance of the private placement is to be closed shortly.
