Abacus Announces $850,000 in Additional Financing
Vancouver, BC – July 29, 2020. Abacus Mining & Exploration Corporation (“Abacus” or the
“Company”) (TSXV: AME). Further to the $600,000 private placement announced by way of
its news release dated July 22, 2020, Abacus is pleased to announce , due to overwhelming
investor demand, a new non-brokered private placement (“Offering”) for additional proceeds
of up to $850,000 through the issuance of 5,312,500 units ("Units") at a price of $0. 16 per
Unit. Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company and one half of a non-
transferable common share purchase warrant, with each full warrant exercisable to purchase
one common share of the Company at a price of $0. 22 per common share for a period of 3
years from the date of closing of the financing.
Under rules of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) , the Offering constitutes a new private
placement and, consequen tly, the TSXV will review the Offering and the Company’s
previously announced $600,000 placement as separate financings. Accordingly, the Offering
is subject to, among other things, its own applicable TSXV pricing and appr oval
requirements, in addition to any such TSXV requirements applicable to the previously
announced private placement.
Aggregate proceeds of up to $ 1,450,000 from the two financings will be applied towards a
program of geophysics and drilling at the Company's Jersey Valley gold property in Nevada
as well as for general working capital. Recent reinterpretation of historic geophysics at Jersey
Valley has demonstrated the existence of compelling, open along strike, untested targets,
which led to an approximate doubling of the staked claim group.
The Company also holds options and leases on the Willow and adjacent Nev -Lorraine
copper-molybdenum p roperties in Nevada, and a carried interest in the advanced Ajax
copper-gold development project in B.C. Further details of a ll of the Company’s properties
may be found on the Company website.
In connection with the Offering, certain finders may receive a cash fee and/or non -
transferable finder warrants. All securities issued will be subject to a four month hold period
under Canadian securities law.
The Offering is being offered to existing shareholders of Abacus who are permitted to
subscribe pursuant to British Columbia Instrument 45 -534 – Exemption fro m Prospectus
Requirement for Certain Trades to Existing Security Holders (the “Existing Shareholder
Exemption”), as well as under other available prospectus exemptions. Any existing
shareholders interested in participating in the Offering under the Existin g Shareholder
Exemption should contact the Company at the contact information set out below in order to
determine whether they are eligible to participate. Unless the Company increases the size of
the Offering, if subscriptions received for the Offering ( based on all available exemptions)
exceed the maximum Offering amount of $ 1,008,000, Units will be allocated pro rata among
all subscribers qualifying under all available exemptions.
