(TSX VENTURE:OMG) (\"Omai\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that due to strong investor demand, it has increased its previously announced non-brokered private placement offering (the \"Offering\") from aggregate gross proceeds of up to C$3,000,000, to aggregate gross proceeds of C$5,000,000 through the issuance of units of the Company (the \"Units\") at a price of C$0.17 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share (“Common Share”) and one-half of a common share purchase warrant. Two such half warrants constitute a full warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of C$0.23 for a period of 36 months from the closing date of the Offering. Omai is also pleased to announce that Silvercorp Metals Inc. (“Silvercorp”), an existing shareholder, has increased its previously announced lead order from approximately C$455,000 to approximately C$759,000 of the Offering. Assuming total gross proceeds from the Offering of C$5,000,000, Silvercorp is expected to hold an approximately 15.2% equity stake in the Company on a basic basis and increase its current ownership to 16.0% on a partially diluted basis. The proceeds from the Offering will be used for an expanded exploration program at the Omai Gold Project. The Company may pay a finder’s fee of 7% cash as well as 7% broker warrants for Units sold to certain investors (“Broker Warrants”). Each Broker Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of C$0.17 for a period of 36 months from the date of issuance.
