TORONTO, Aug. 14, 2017 /CNW/ - BacTech Environmental Corp. ("BacTech" or the "Company"), (CSE: BAC, OTC Pink: BCCEF) today announced that it has closed its current debenture financing for total gross proceeds of $445,000 for the debenture and accompanied by 1,780,000 common shares, which are included as a Bonus Equity Interest. The debenture has a 2-year term and pays 12% interest yearly. The debenture included a 20% common stock bonus payment. For example, a $10,000 debenture would be accompanied by $2,000 worth of BacTech common shares priced at $0.05 per share. This would provide the investor with 40,000 common shares subject to a 4-month restriction on resale from the date of closing.

BacTech also announces a new non-brokered debenture financing, accompanied by 1,000,500 warrants and a 1.25% NSR (as more fully described below) is offered by private placement in accordance with applicable prospectus exemptions, for total gross proceeds of $300,000. The use of proceeds is to continue metallurgical test work on the Telamayu tailings near Atocha, Bolivia and for preliminary engineering of a proposed plant to be built at site.

The terms of the new debenture are as follows: the debenture is issued in denominations of $5,000 and must be repaid at the end of two years, interest is earned at a rate of 12% per year paid annually, it is accompanied by sixteen thousand six-hundred seventy-five (16,675) common share purchase warrants of the Corporation with each warrant having an exercise price of $0.05 for a period of 5 years (the "Warrants"). As an additional consideration for the subscription of the debentures, a 1.25% net smelter royalty ("NSR") for the life of the Antiguo tails estimated to be 5 years (the new debenture, the accompanying Warrants and the NSR being comprised in a unit (the "Units") of this new debenture offering). The NSR shall be paid on a pro-rata basis over the aggregate number of the new debentures. The NSR is only payable on BacTech's share of the revenue generated by the project. The debenture holder will close with three separate tranches of $100,000 (ie., 20 Units) with the initial tranche paid on the closing which occurred today for gross proceeds of $100,000 and the issuance of 333,500 Warrants. Each of the next two tranches will be closed within 30 and 60 days after this initial closing in order to complete this financing.
