Amerix Precious Metals Corporation (TSX Venture: APM, Frankfurt: NJG) announces that it has received conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange for a non-brokered, private placement financing (the "Offering") of up to $1,050,000.
The Offering consists of up to 15,000,000 Units at a price of $0.07 per Unit, with each Unit consisting of one Amerix common share and one-half common share purchase warrant, with each whole common share purchase warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Amerix common share at a price of $0.15. The warrants will expire twenty-four months from the date of issue unless the closing price of the common shares has been $0.30 or higher for ten consecutive trading days, in which case the warrants will expire thirty (30) days after a news release announcing an earlier expiry date. The Offering also includes provision for a finders' fee payable at a rate of up to 8% of gross proceeds from Unit sales and Unit-purchase options ("broker warrants") at a rate of up to 10% of the number of Units sold. The broker warrants will expire twenty-four months from the date of issue and are subject to the same acceleration rights as the Warrants. The securities issued in connection with the Offering are subject to a four month hold period from the date of issue. Net proceeds from the Offering will be used to continue to fund the Company's Limão exploration project in Brazil and for general working capital purposes.
The Company also wishes to announce that it has amended certain terms of the Limão option agreement with Matapi Exploração Mineral Ltda. ("Matapi").
