VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Apr 4, 2014) - WCB Resources Ltd ("WCB" or the "Company") (TSX-VENTURE:WCB) announces that it has decided not to proceed with the non-brokered private placement of 16,000,000 units at a price of $0.25 per unit for gross proceeds of $4 million as outlined in the Company's press release dated March 19, 2014.

The Company also announces that it has arranged an alternative non-brokered private placement of 22,222,222 units at a price of $0.27 per unit for gross proceeds of $6,000,000. Each unit is comprised of a common share and two half warrants (with the first half warrant being half of a "Warrant A" and the second half warrant being half of a "Warrant B"). Each whole Warrant A shall entitle the holder to acquire one additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.40 per share for a period of 18 months. Each whole Warrant B shall entitle the holder to acquire one additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.60 per share for a period of 36 months. It is expected that all units will be subscribed for by Sandfire Resources NL, a premier Australian copper gold producer listed on the ASX.

The proceeds from this private placement will be used principally for drill testing of the Misima Island Porphyry and for ancillary exploration activities on the Company's Misima Island project, located in Papua New Guinea, and general working capital.

No finder's fees will be paid on this transaction. The private placement is subject to exchange acceptance. All of the securities issued pursuant to this offering will have a hold period expiring four months and one day after the closing date.
