VANCOUVER, April 27, 2012 /CNW/ - Lucky Strike Resources Ltd. (TSXV - LKY), (the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") for gross proceeds of $559,920 though the issuance of 1,636,000 flow-through units (each a "FT Unit") and 1,000,000 non-flow-through units (each a "NFT Unit") at a purchase price of $0.22 per FT Unit and $0.20 per NFT Unit.   Each FT Unit consists of one common share (a "FT Share") in the capital of the Company, issued on a flow-through basis under the Income Tax Act (Canada), and one-half of one non-flow-through common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "FT Warrant").  Each FT Warrant is exercisable to acquire one non-flow-through common share (a "FT Warrant Share") in the capital of the Company, at an exercise price of $0.30 per FT Warrant Share until April 26, 2014, subject to an accelerated expiry date as set out below.  Each NFT Unit consists of one non-flow-through common share (a "NFT Share") in the capital of the Company and one non-flow-through common share purchase warrant (a "NFT Warrant").  Each NFT Warrant is exercisable to acquire one non-flow-through common share (a "NFT Warrant Share") in the capital of the Company at an exercise price of $0.30 per NFT Warrant Share until April 26, 2014, subject to an accelerated expiry date as set out below.

In the event that at any time the closing price of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company on the TSX Venture Exchange is greater than or equal to $0.50 for a period of 15 consecutive trading days, the Company may, at its option, accelerate the expiry date of the FT Warrants and the NFT Warrants by giving notice to the holders thereof and in such case the FT Warrants and the NFT Warrants will expire on the date which is the earlier of: (i) the 30th day after the date on which such notice is given by the Issuer; and (ii) the original expiry date.

In connection with the Offering, the Company paid to an arm's length finder a finder's fee in cash of $35,600 and issued to the finder an aggregate of 207,500 non-transferable common share purchase warrants that entitle the finder to purchase up to 207,500 common shares in the capital of the Company at a purchase price of $0.30 per share at any time until April 26, 2014, subject to an accelerated expiry date as set out above, in consideration for their services provided to the Company in connection with the Offering.

All securities issued in connection with the Offering are subject to a hold period expiring on August 27, 2012.

The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for the exploration of the Grizzly and Aspen properties and for general working capital purposes.
