NGEx Minerals Announces Cdn $20 Million Private Placement
VANCOUVER, OCTOBER 13, 2021 - NGEx Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: NGEX) (“NGEx Minerals” or the “Company”)
is pleased to announce that it intends to sell on a non-brokered private placement basis, an aggregate of up
to 25 million common shares of the Company (the “Common Shares”) at a price of C$0.80 per Common
Share for gross proceeds of up to C$20 million (the “Private Placement”).
The Company may pay a 5.00% finder’s fee in cash or Common Shares on all or a portion of the Private
Placement.
The Common Shares will be offered by way of prospectus exemptions in Canada and the Common Shares
sold in the Private Placement will be subject to a hold period of four months plus one day.
Completion of the Private Placement will be subject to regulatory approval, including the approval of the TSX
Venture Exchange and certain other customary conditions including, but not limited to, execution of
subscription agreements between the Company and the subscribers.
Net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used towards furthering exploration programs in Chile and
Argentina, the repayment of amounts drawn against a US$3 million credit facility that matures in February
2022 as well as for general corporate and working capital purposes.
The issuance of Common Shares to insiders constitutes a “related party transaction”, as defined under
Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”). The transactions will be exempt from the formal valuation and
minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of any Common
Shares issued to, nor the consideration paid, by such persons would exceed 25% of the Company’s market
capitalization.
This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities
described herein in the U.S., or in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or sale would be unlawful. The
securities described herein have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or any U.S. state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the U.S. or to the account or
benefit of a U.S. person or a person in the U.S. absent registration or an applicable exemption from the
registration requirements.
