Rupert issued 9.2 million common shares at C80c per share with a four-month hold period.

The company said it would pay $10,000 to Smaller Capital Company and $3,504 to Canaccord Genuity Limited as finders' fees for the placement. 

In October, Rupert announced regional exploration had identified an extensive gold anomaly 1km north-west of the Pahtavaara mine and mill.
