CMX Announces Closing of Financing and Shares-For-Debt Private Placement
CALGARY, November 19, 2021 - CMX Gold and Silver Corp. (CSE:CXC) (OTC:CXXMF) (CNSX:CXC.CN) ("CMX" or the "Company") announces that CMX has closed a private placement of 3,470,000 units (the "Units") and a shares-for-debt private placement of 15,915,000 common shares (the "Shares"). The two private placements substantially improved the financial condition of the Company by eliminating most of its debt. The Units were issued for $0.05 per Unit, with each Unit comprised of one Share and one Share purchase warrant exercisable for two years at $0.10 per share. Units for $90,000 were issued for cash and the balance of $83,500 of Units were issued for settlement of debt. The private placement of Shares, issued for $0.075 per Share, settled $1,193,625 of debt. All securities issued under the private placements are subject to a hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws of four months and one day from closing. After the two private placements, CMX has 62,690,724 Shares issued and outstanding.
The two private placements place CMX on a firm financial footing, which supports the Company's application for reinstatement of trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange. CMX's application for reinstatement is being reviewed currently by the CSE, which follows the previously announced October 4, 2021 revocation of the cease trade order against CMX. Jan Alston, President & CEO of CMX, stated: "Eliminating substantially all of the legacy debt obligations incurred by the Company over the past five to ten years was a necessary step in the reactivation of CMX, placing the Company in a strong position to attract funding for future exploration programs on its wholly-owned Clayton Silver Project in Idaho. The timing is perfect for CMX to participate in the positive cycle for commodities, especially for silver."
Related persons have subscribed for Units and Shares pursuant to the two private placements. Two directors, a company controlled by a director, two senior officers, a company controlled by the spouse of a senior officer, and an insider owning greater than ten percent of CMX Shares issued and outstanding have collectively subscribed for 1,800,000 Units and 11,375,000 Shares. Therefore, the transaction constitutes a related party transaction under the provisions of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company has relied on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in Sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 for participation of the related parties in the private placements, because CMX is not listed on certain specified markets, and neither the fair market value of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involves the related parties, exceeded 25% of CMX's market capitalization. Further details will be included in a material change report to be filed by the Company on SEDAR. A material change report was not filed 21 days prior to the date of the material change, as the details of the transaction had not been confirmed at that time and no person will be prejudiced by such shorter period.
About the Clayton Silver Project
CMX's major asset is the 100%-owned Clayton Silver Property located in the mining-friendly State of Idaho, U.S.A. The property comprises approximately 276 ha (684 acres) in Custer County in south-central Idaho, including the former Clayton silver-lead-zinc mine. The Clayton Mine was developed on eight levels to a depth of 1,100 feet (335 meters) below surface and is comprised of approximately 6,000 meters (19,690 feet) of underground development. Two major ore bodies were partially mined: the "South Ore Body" and the "North Ore Body". Both are tabular ore bodies raking northeast to depth. Production was initiated on the South Ore Body and development extended to the North Ore Body. As a result of lower silver prices, the mine was closed in early 1986. Mineralization is open to the north, the south and to depth, all of which is untested. For example, there is potential for resources to exist at shallower depths below and adjacent to the South Ore Body.
The recorded production from the Clayton Mine included 7,031,110 oz silver, 86,771,527 lbs lead, 28,172,211 lbs zinc, 1,664,177 lbs copper, and minor amounts of gold from an estimated 2,145,652 tonnes of ore mined between 1934 and 1985. Mineralization was originally discovered in 1877 and the mine operated almost continuously for 50 years until its closure in 1986. The Company has compiled and comprehensively reviewed available historical drilling and mining information for the Clayton Mine. Very little exploration has been carried out previously on the Clayton Silver Property. Significant potential is demonstrated in hole 1501-A, drilled in the mid-1960's, which penetrated the mineralized zone at 1,425 feet. At that depth, the hole intercepted 22 feet of 4.07 oz Ag/t, 5.75% lead and 5.37% zinc (note: true width is unknown).
Dependent on raising the necessary funds, CMX plans to carry out geophysics and diamond drilling on the Clayton Silver Property commencing in spring 2022.
