CALGARY, Nov. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Boxxer Gold Corp. (TSX Venture: BXX/OTC BXXRF) ("Boxxer" or the "Corporation") today announced its intention to raise up to $2,600,000 by way of a non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") consisting of a combination of Non-Flow Through Units and Flow-Through Units.  The Offering is expected to close on or about December 15, 2011, and the Offering is subject to regulatory approval.

A total of up to 10,000,000 Non-Flow-Through Units will be offered for sale at a price of $0.11 per Unit to raise total gross proceeds of $1,100,000.  Each Non-Flow-Through Unit will consist of one Non-Flow-Through Common Share in the share capital of Boxxer and one-half of a Non-Flow-Through Common Share purchase Warrant ("Warrant").  Each whole Warrant shall be exercisable into one Common Share at a price of $0.20 until expiry on December 15, 2012.

In addition to the Non-Flow-Through Units a total of up to 10,000,000 Flow-Through Units will be offered for sale at a price of $0.15 per Flow-Through Unit to raise total gross proceeds of $1,500,000. Each Flow-Through Unit will consist of one Flow-Through Common Share and one-half of a Non-Flow-Through Common Share purchase Warrant. Each whole Warrant shall be exercisable into one Common Share at a price of $0.20 until expiry on December 15, 2012.

The proceeds of the Non-Flow-Through Unit Offering will be used primarily to drill test the strike and depth extensions of the two zones of copper-gold-silver-molybdenum mineralization intersected in DDH-07-2011 and previously untested chargeability anomalies located under the Oro Amigo mine, a former small copper mine located within the Boss copper-gold project, and for general working capital purposes. The proceeds of the Flow-Through Unit Offering will be used to continue exploration, including diamond drilling on Boxxer's Canadian properties, including the Gordon Lake gold property in the NWT, the East Breccia copper-molybdenum-silver property in Ontario, and the DOK porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum-silver property in northwest, British Columbia.

A finder's fee of up to 9% of the gross proceeds of the Offering may be paid in cash on all or any part of the Offering. Additionally, finder's warrants exercisable into Common Shares of Boxxer may be issued in an amount up to 9% of the number of Non-Flow-Through Units and Flow-Through Units sold under the Offering.
