HOPE BAY, Nunavut MIRAMAR MINING has issued 2.8 million flow-through common shares and 1.0 million units to raise $13.27 million for exploration at its gold projects in the Arctic. The issuance is underwritten by two Canadian investment dealers who will pay $3.65 per share and $3.05 per unit. The offer is expected to close on Dec. 9 following regulatory approvals.
