TORONTO, Sept. 21, 2012 /CNW/ - Temex Resources Corp. (TSX-V: TME, FWB: TQ1) ("Temex" or "the Company")
is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with
Stifel Nicolaus Canada Inc. ("Stifel") for a private placement to raise
aggregate gross proceeds of up to $6,998,000 (the "Offering"). The
Offering will be comprised of up to 17,850,000 units (the "Units")
offered at a price of $0.28 per Unit and up to 6,250,000 "flow-through"
shares (the "FT Shares") offered at a price of $0.32 per FT Share.
Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company and one-half
of one common share purchase warrant, with each whole common share
purchase warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share of
the Company at a price of $0.40 for a 24-month period.
The Offering is being made by Stifel as sole lead agent and a syndicate
on a best efforts basis and is expected to close on or about October
11, 2012. The Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but
not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals.
The agents will be paid a cash commission of 6% of the gross proceeds
from the Offering and will be issued that number of compensation
warrants equal to 6% of the aggregate number of Units and FT Shares
sold pursuant to the Offering, such compensation warrants having the
same terms as the Units.
The Company has agreed to grant Stifel an over-allotment option
(exercisable up to 48 hours prior to the closing of the Offering) which
will allow Stifel to offer up to an additional 20% of the number of FT
Shares or Units (or combination of FT Shares and Units) issued under
the Offering.
The aggregate gross proceeds raised from the sale of FT Shares will be
used by the Company to incur exploration expenditures on its precious
metals properties. Proceeds raised from the sale of Units will be used
for exploration and working capital purposes.
The FT Shares and Units will be subject to the customary securities law
and TSX-V resale restrictions lasting four months and a day from the
date of issue.
