PJX Resources Inc.: Closes Private Placement
Toronto - PJX Resources Inc. (“PJX” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce it has closed a non-brokered private placement initially announced by the Company on October 26, 2016 and increased on October 28, 2016 (the “Offering”). The Offering was closed in two tranches with the aggregate issuance of 15,045,666 million units for total proceeds of $2,402,190. “The positive market response and demand for our financing has provided additional funds to explore the deposit potential of our gold and base metal (zinc, lead, copper) properties” states the President and CEO of PJX, John Keating. “In addition, metal prices have strengthened recently with zinc hitting a high of US$ 1.17/lb. This is about a 70% increase from a low of US$ 0.68/lb one year ago. Our next phase of exploration will include drilling on our Vine Property to test multiple targets for zinc-lead-silver mineralization similar to the Sullivan deposit located 35 km north of the property. The Vine property is accessible by road all year.”
With regard to the financing, each Flow Through Unit (“Flow Through Unit”) consists of one “flow through share” (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada)(“ITA”)) and one common share purchase warrant (“Warrant”). Each Non-flow Through Unit (“Unit”) consists of one common share and Warrant. Each Warrant, whether acquired as part of a Flow Through Unit or Unit, entitles the holder to purchase one common share (a “Warrant Share”) of the Company at an exercise price of $0.25 for 36 months following completion of the offering.
