· Issued by Pinetree Capital Ltd.
ROUYN-NORANDA, QC, Dec. 8 /CNW Telbec/ - Fieldex Exploration Inc.
(FLX:TSXV) wishes to announce that Pinetree Capital Ltd. (PNP: TSX) acquired
ownership of two million common shares of Fieldex Exploration Inc. and two
million share purchase warrants on Nov. 29, 2005. Each warrant entitles the
holder to acquire one additional common share, at an exercise price of
20 cents, until Nov. 28, 2007.
In the event that the warrants are fully exercised, these holdings
represent approximately 18.6 per cent of the total issued and outstanding
common shares of Fieldex as of Nov. 29, 2005, calculated on a partially
diluted basis, assuming the exercise of warrants only. As a result of this
transaction, Pinetree and its joint actors held, as at Nov. 29, 2005,
2,916,667 common shares of Fieldex. Pinetree and its joint actors also held
rights to acquire 4,016,667 common shares of Fieldex upon exercise of
convertible securities, including the warrants. Of these totals, Pinetree
holds two million common shares and the two million warrants directly. If
Pinetree and its joint actors were to exercise all of these convertible
securities, their combined ownership would represent a total of 6,933,334
common shares of Fieldex, or approximately 29.4 per cent of such shares
outstanding as of Nov. 29, 2005, calculated on a partially diluted basis,
assuming the exercise of the convertible securities only. If only the warrants
are fully exercised, the direct holdings of Pinetree represent approximately
18.6 per cent of all issued and outstanding common shares of Fieldex as of
Nov. 29, 2005, calculated on a partially diluted basis assuming the exercise
of the warrants only.
These transactions were made for investment purposes, and Pinetree and
each of its joint actors could increase or decrease their respective
investments in Fieldex depending on market conditions or any other relevant
factor.
