Magna Mining Inc. (TSXV: NICU) ("Magna" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed an initial tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the "Offering"), pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 5,888,900 flow-through common shares at a price of $0.45 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2,650,000. The Company intends to complete a further tranche of the Offering in November.
The gross proceeds of the Offering will be used to fund advancement of Magna's exploration activities at its mineral projects located in the Sudbury region of Ontario, through the incurrence of expenses that are eligible "Canadian Exploration Expenses" which will also qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" within the meaning of subsection 127(9) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and, for subscribers resident in Ontario, will be eligible for the 5% Ontario Focused Flow-Through Share Tax Credit pursuant to the Ontario Taxation Act.
As part of a follow-on transaction, Dundee Resources Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dundee Corporation ("Dundee"), acquired 5,888,900 common shares of the Company on a private placement basis following the completion of the initial tranche of the Offering.

Pursuant to the terms of the warrants held by Dundee, Dundee may not exercise any portion of the warrants to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, Dundee would beneficially own in excess of 19.99% of the common shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.
