TORONTO, CANADA--(Marketwired - Dec 16, 2016) - VENDOME RESOURCES CORP.

Pursuant to the Financing, the Company issued 2,004,936 "flow-through" shares ("FT Shares") at a price of $0.15 per share for gross proceeds of $300,740.40. The Company proposes to close a second tranche of the Financing in January, which will consist of up to 4,000,000 units at a price of $0.15 per unit for maximum proceeds of $600,000. Each unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company and one half of one common share purchase warrant.
