On May 14, 2012, Chile Mining Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) reported its entry into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated May 8, 2012, with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Investors (i) up to $3.5 million of eleven percent (11%) secured convertible notes (the “Notes”), which Notes shall be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at $2.00 per share (subject to adjustment) and (ii) warrants (the “Investor Warrants”) to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock equal to fifty percent (50%) of the number of shares of Common Stock that the Notes purchased by the Investors may be convertible into, at an exercise price of $2.00 per share (subject to adjustment).

The Company also reported that on May 8, 2012 it completed the initial closing pursuant to the Purchase Agreement in which the Company issued and sold to Investors: (i) Notes in the aggregate original principal amount of $2,120,000, and (ii) Investor Warrants to initially purchase an aggregate of 530,000 shares of Common Stock, in exchange for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,120,000.

On June 7, 2012, the Company effected a second and final closing pursuant to the Purchase Agreement in which the Company issued and sold to Investors (i) Notes in the aggregate original principal amount of $1,015,000 and (ii) Investor Warrants to initially purchase an aggregate of 253,750 shares of Common Stock, for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,015,000

Euro Pacific Capital, Inc. (“Europac”) and Halter Financial Securities Inc. (“HFS”) acted as the Company’s co-lead placement agents in connection with the Purchase Agreement. As compensation for their services, Europac and HFS received cash fees equal to 10% of the aggregate purchase price of the Notes placed by each of them. In addition, they (or their respective designees) received warrants (the “Agent Warrants”) for the purchase of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 10% of the aggregate purchase price of the Notes placed by each of them. The principle terms of the Agent Warrants are identical to those of the Investor Warrants. In connection with the second closing, Europac and HFS received cash fees equal to $81,200 and $20,300, respectively, and Agent Warrants for the purchase of 40,600 and 10,150 shares of Common Stock, respectively.

The issuance of these securities were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The Company issued these securities in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the offer and sale of securities not involving a public offering and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Each of the Investors represented that it is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and that there was no general solicitation or advertising in connection with the offer and sale of the securities.
