Quia Resources Announces Closing of a Private Placement

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired - Aug 14, 2015) - Quia Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:QIA) ("Quia" or the "Company") announced today that it closed a non-brokered private placement (the "Offering"), consisting of 32,000,000 units ("Unit") for aggregate gross proceeds of $320,000.

Each Unit is comprised of one (1) common share of the company (a "Common Share") and one half (1/2) Share purchase warrant ("Warrant"). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.02 per Common Share for a period of 24 months after the Closing Date. The term of the Warrants is subject to an acceleration right at the option of the Company, provided that the common shares of the Company trade at or above $0.05 and the Company has provided Warrant holders with 30 days prior written notice of the accelerated Warrant exercise date. The Company anticipates there may be an additional closing of the Offering on the same terms.

The approval of this Offering by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") was conditional on providing undertakings by more than 50% of the shareholders to support a planned 5:1 share consolidation ("Consolidation") and such undertakings have been provided. The Company intends on completing the Consolidation at its shareholders meeting scheduled for October 2nd, 2015. Further to the Company's previous announcement dated July 7, 2015, the Company has entered into debt settlement agreements to convert $611,405.23 into 50,950,437 common shares in the capital of the Company ("Shares") at a price of $0.012 per Share on pre-Consolidation basis ("Debt Settlement") and to convert $389,754.33 in convertible debentures into 23,609,362 Common Shares and 2,956,694 warrants (the "Debenture Settlement"). The Debt Settlement and Debenture Settlement cannot, under TSX-V rules, close prior to the completion of the Consolidation and the Debt Settlement and Debenture Settlement will be subject to applicable Exchange approval at the time. If the Discounted Market Price (as defined in the Exchange policy) after the proposed Consolidation is effected, is greater than $0.06 per Share (the "Settlement Price") on a post-Consolidation basis, the Company would either need to renegotiate such Debt Settlements and Debenture Settlements or terminate the agreements altogether. Of the total debt the Company intends to have converted, $401,047.64 is being converted by arm's length parties and $600,110.92 by non-arm's length parties. The Company has entered into binding agreements for this debt conversion and will proceed with such conversion if and when it is permitted to do so.

Quia also announces that it is considering potential new business opportunities both in and outside of mining and mineral exploration, and in this regard is considering various avenues to create shareholder value.
