On June 11, 2010, Northgate Minerals Corporation (Northgate) (TSX: NGX, AMEX: NXG) announced that it has filed a preliminary short form base shelf prospectus with securities regulatory authorities in Canada and a corresponding shelf registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Form F-10. These filings have been made to renew Northgate's current short-term base shelf prospectus, which expires on July 5, 2010.
Once the shelf prospectus is cleared and the shelf registration statement becomes effective, these filings will, subject to securities regulatory requirements, provide for the potential offering in selected Canadian provinces and the United States of up to an aggregate amount of C$250 million over the next 25 months. The terms of such future offerings, if any, will be established at the time of such offerings. At the time any of the securities covered by the shelf prospectus are offered for sale, a prospectus supplement containing specific information about the terms of any such offering will be provided.
