Cordoba Increases Private Placement to $4.0 Million

VANCOUVER, Oct. 23, 2012 /CNW/ - Cordoba Minerals Corp. (TSX-V:CDB) is pleased to advise that it has increased the size of its previously announced non-brokered private placement from 4.45 million units to 8.9 million units, to raise gross proceeds of up to $4.0 million.  The terms of the financing remain unchanged: each unit will consist of one common share and one-half of a warrant, with each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company at $0.50 for two years from closing.

If at any time from four months and one day after the closing of the financing, the closing price of the Company's common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange over any period of 10 consecutive trading days exceeds $0.625, the warrants will expire early, namely, on the date which is 37 calendar days following such 10-day trading period.

The Company may pay finder's fees on a portion of the financing equal to 5% of subscription amounts found, payable in cash or units, plus issue finder's warrants in an amount equal to 5% of units purchased.  Each finder's warrant will be exercisable into one common share of the Company at a price of $0.50 for two years from closing.

The net proceeds of the placement will be used towards exploration of the Company's Cordoba Property, Colombia and for general working capital purposes.
