VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alianza Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V:ANZ) (“Alianza” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that it has arranged a private placement of Units to raise $300,000 and a private placement of Flow Through shares to raise $200,000.

Jason Weber, President and CEO, noted that “We are happy to have supportive shareholders and will put these funds to good use as we have in prior years. In 2017, the bulk of the financing raised was spent on exploration of the Horsethief Gold Project in Nevada which is now ready for JV or drilling. This year we have plans to advance the Haldane Silver Project, among others, and this financing will allow us to get that work done. “

Financing Terms

Each Unit is comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant at $0.10. The warrant is valid for two years from the date of closing of the offering and is exercisable at $0.15 to acquire one common share.

The Flow Through Shares will be eligible for a tax deduction for Canadian income tax payers for the 2018 year. These shares will be issued at $0.10 per share and the proceeds will be spent on qualifying exploration expenditures on Alianza’s projects in the Yukon Territory and mainly on the recently acquired Haldane Silver Property in the Keno Hill Area.

Finder’s fees will be paid to eligible parties and members of Alianza’s Board of Directors and Management team will be participating in this offering.

YMEP Application

Alianza is also in the process of filing an application for a grant of up to $40,000 under the Yukon Mineral Exploration Program.
