CE Mining Limited and Second Tranche of Financing
In the first tranche of the financing, CE Mining Limited ("CE Mining") subscribed for 19,000,000 Units for proceeds of $950,000. CE Mining now owns, after completion of the first tranche of the financing, 39,000,000 shares or 19.79% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company on a non-diluted basis (30.23% on a partially diluted basis). CE Mining also proposes to acquire an additional 21,000,000 Units of the Company for proceeds of $1,050,000 in the second tranche of the financing. It is expected that CE Mining will be the only placee in the second tranche. CE Mining would then become a "Control Person" under applicable securities legislation and, under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange, the Company is required to first seek disinterested shareholder approval of an ordinary resolution of CE Mining's proposed investment. Such approval will be sought at a Special General Meeting of the shareholders of the Company set for July 25, 2014 (the "SGM"). CE Mining, as an interested party, would not be allowed to vote any shares that it may own or control in relation to this resolution. CE Mining will have certain limited rights to withdraw from any such financing up to the date of the SGM.
Use of Proceeds
The proceeds from the private placement will be used for the advancement of Helio's SMP Gold Project in the Lupa Goldfields of South West Tanzania, and for general corporate working capital purposes.
U.S. Restrictions and MI 61-101 Matters
These securities being offered have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) absent U.S. registration or an applicable exemption from the U.S. registration requirements. This release does not constitute an offer for sale of securities in the United States. CE Mining was, prior to completion of this financing, an insider of the Company, and therefore, through its investment in the first tranche of the private placement, completed a "related party" transaction (as defined by Multilateral Instrument 61-101) with the Company. The Company has filed its related material change report as required under MI 61-101 less than 21 days before the date of the closing of the first tranche of the financing, as several material matters were uncertain and not ascertainable until at, or close to, the closing of the first tranche of the financing. In the Company's opinion the shorter period for the filing of the material change report was unavoidable and reasonable and necessary in the circumstances.
