High Desert Gold Corporation (the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE:HDG)(OTCQX:HDGCF) proposes to complete the first tranche of a brokered and non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of Cdn$489,460.


The Company proposes to issue pursuant to the first tranche of a brokered private placement 2,000,000 units at a price of Cdn$0.20 per unit for aggregate proceeds of Cdn$400,000, with each unit comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of Cdn$0.23 per share for a period of 36 months. The Company will pay a cash commission of up to 7% of the proceeds from the brokered private placement and issue broker warrants entitling the holders thereof to purchase additional units (up to 7% of the number issued on the brokered private placement) at the unit price for a period of 24 months.


South American Silver Corp. (“SASC”) (TSX:SAC), a Canadian public company, has provided the Company with notice that it intends to exercise it pre-emptive right to participate in the financing to maintain its approximately 19.9% interest in the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. If the Company issues 2,000,000 units pursuant to the first tranche of the brokered private placement, SASC will purchase, on a non-brokered concurrent private placement 497,000 common shares of the Company at a price of Cdn$0.18 per share for gross proceeds of Cdn$89,460.


The targeted closing date for the first tranche of the private placements is January 31, 2013. Additional closings on the terms disclosed above may occur in the future.


The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the private placements to fund exploration of the Company’s properties and for administrative expenses and unallocated working capital.
