ALMADEX MINERALS ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF $5.6 MILLION NON-BROKERED PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Vancouver, B.C. Almadex Minerals Limited (“Almadex” or the “Company”; TSX-V: AMZ; OTCQB: AXDDF) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement with the issuance of 4,000,000 units (“Units”) at $1.40 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one-half of one non-transferable common share purchase warrant (each such whole share purchase warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant allows the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of $2.00 per share until March 27, 2020. Fees consisting of $255,555.20 in cash were paid to arms-length finders or advisors on a portion of the placement. All securities issued in connection with the private placement are subject to a hold period in Canada which expires on July 28, 2018.
Almadex intends to use the proceeds of the private placement to continue drilling targets at its 100% owned El Cobre gold/copper porphyry project in Veracruz, Mexico, and for general working capital purposes.
About Almadex
Almadex Minerals Limited is an exploration company that holds a large mineral portfolio consisting of projects and NSR royalties in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. This portfolio is the direct result of over 35 years of prospecting and deal-making by Almadex and, prior to its spinout, by Almaden Minerals Ltd. Almadex is currently focused on exploration at its El Cobre gold/copper porphyry project in Veracruz, Mexico, in which it holds a 100% interest, subject to a sliding-scale net smelter returns royalty (“NSR”) equivalent to 0.5% in the event that production from the property exceeds 10,001 tonnes per day of ore. This NSR can be reduced to 0.25% at this production rate through the payment of US$3 million.
