Solara and Verity continue to market the Private Placement which now includes $5 million of Units of Common Shares and Common Share Purchase Warrants, $6 million of Convertible 8.5% Debentures and $3 million of CDE Flow-Through Subscription Receipts. It is anticipated that the Private Placement will be completed on or about November 21, 2012, pending regulatory and other approvals.


Solara and Verity also advise that they are proceeding with their previously announced proposals to trade creditors. Solara and Verity plan to settle these proposals with the trade creditors in conjunction with completion of the Private Placement and Amalgamation. Completion of the Private Placement and the Amalgamation are subject to Solara and Verity entering into a new loan facility with a major lender and a number of other conditions, including but not limited to, final approval of its lender, approval by the TSX Venture Exchange and certain conditions as set out in the Amalgamation Agreement. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Amalgamation will be completed as proposed.
