/EINPresswire.com/ -- CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwired) -- 03/21/16 -- Gold Ridge Exploration Corp. ("Gold Ridge" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE: GEA) is pleased to announce the Corporation has arranged a non-brokered private placement offering to raise minimum proceeds of $60,000 and maximum proceeds of up to $300,000 (the "Offering"). The Offering will consist of a minimum of 6,000,000 common shares and up to a maximum of 30,000,000 common shares at a price of $0.01 per common share. The Offering may close in multiple tranches.

The pricing of the Offering is in reliance on the temporary relief measures established by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), and therefore the Offering and pricing of the Offering require approval of the Exchange having regard to the temporary relief criteria set out in the Exchange's bulletin of April 7, 2014, in relation to the extension and modification of temporary relief from certain pricing requirements (the "Temporary Relief Measures").

The proceeds will be used to fund general working capital purposes and allow the Corporation to continue identifying and evaluating potential transactions that will create shareholder value and once again allow the Corporation to relist on the Exchange.

All securities issued under the private placement will be subject to a four month hold period from the day of closing. Completion of the Offering is subject to regulatory approvals, including approval of the Exchange under Temporary Relief Measures.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
