Lakeside Announces Convertible Debenture Financing

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - May 28, 2015) - Lakeside Minerals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:LAK) (the "Company" or "Lakeside") is pleased to that it intends to complete, subject to approval from the TSX Venture Exchange ("Exchange"), a private placement ("Offering") of unsecured convertible debentures ("Convertible Debentures") for gross proceeds of up to $300,000. Convertible Debentures are convertible into common shares in the capital of the Company ("Shares") at a conversion price equal to $0.02 per Share within 12 months of the Closing Date, or $0.0333 at any time thereafter, up to the Maturity Date, subject to the Acceleration Clause (as hereinafter defined).

In connection with the Offering, the Company also plans to complete a three for one share consolidation ("Consolidation") at its next shareholders meeting, subject to receiving shareholder approval. On a post-Consolidation basis (as hereinafter defined) the Convertible Debentures are convertible into Shares at a price equal to $0.06 per Share within 12 months of the Closing Date, or $0.10 at any time prior to the maturity date ("Maturity Date"). The Maturity Date shall be 36 months from the closing date ("Closing Date").

On the Maturity Date, the principal amount of the Convertible Debentures may be paid in cash or in Shares, at the Market Price (as defined in the Exchange's Corporate Finance Manual) the day prior to maturity. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance at the rate of 10% per annum commencing on the Closing Date. Accrued interest of up to $30,000 shall be payable in cash or Shares, at the option of the Company, at the Market Price per Share the day prior to such payment. The Company may prepay any amount of the principal balance of the Convertible Debentures at any time, upon providing a 30 day notice to the Debenture holder(s).

If the Shares trade at a price of $0.15 or higher for a minimum of 20 consecutive trading days within 12 months after the Closing Date, or a price of $0.25 or higher from 12 months after the Closing Date and prior to the Maturity Date, the Company may force conversion of the Convertible Debentures by giving 30 day notice to the Debenture holders ("Acceleration Clause").

As an incentive for purchasing the Convertible Debentures, the Company shall issue to the subscribers at the Closing Date 5,000 warrants ("Warrants") for each $1,000 of principal amount of Convertible Debentures purchased. Each Warrant shall be exercisable into one common share in the capital of the Company ("Share") at a price of $0.10 per Share (on post-Consolidation basis) for a period of 3 years from the Closing Date. The term of the Warrants will be subject to an acceleration right at the option of the Company, provided that the Shares trade at or above $0.25 for a full 20 consecutive trading days and the Company has provided Warrant holders with 30 days prior written notice of the accelerated Warrant exercise date.

The proceeds from the Offering will be used for exploration at Launay and Misery Lake and for working capital purposes.

Finders will be entitled to a cash commission in the amount of 8% ("Finder's Fee") of the gross proceeds received from the sale of the Convertible Debentures, and finder's warrants ("Finder's Warrants") equal to 8.0% of the Shares potentially issuable upon the conversion of the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Debentures sold under the Offering (assuming all Convertible Debentures are converted). Each Finder's Warrant shall be exercisable into Shares at an exercise price of $0.10 on post-Consolidation basis at any time prior to the Maturity Date.

All shares issued pursuant to the Offering, and any shares issued pursuant to the exercise of Finder's Warrants will be subject to a four-month hold period from the Closing Date.
