/NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR THROUGH U.S. NEWSWIRES/
VANCOUVER, July 13, 2015 /CNW/ - Callinex Mines Inc. (the "Company" or "Callinex") (TSX-V: CNX; OTCQX: CLLXF) is pleased to announce that it intends to complete a non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") to raise up to $3.0 million. It is anticipated that Resource Capital Funds ("RCF") will acquire the majority of the shares being issued and will become the largest single shareholder of Callinex.
Max Porterfield, President and CEO, stated, "We are excited to welcome the leading mining-focused private equity firm as a major shareholder of Callinex. Resource Capital Funds, which manages over US $2.5 billion in assets, is a patient long-term investor that actively partners with companies to build strong, successful and sustainable businesses. We believe RCF's strategic investment in Callinex provides a major competitive advantage that will be instrumental for increasing shareholder value."
Additionally, Mr. Porterfield continued, "Callinex is also utilizing the new existing security holder exemption to provide all current shareholders an opportunity to participate in the financing at the same terms as RCF and the Company's insiders. These funds will be invaluable to the Company as we advance our strategy to identify economically significant VMS deposits in the Flin Flon area of Manitoba."
The Offering will issue up to 5,000,000 flow-through shares at a price per share of $0.30 for gross proceeds of $1,500,000. The Offering will also issue up to 5,000,000 non-flow through units at a price per unit of $0.30 for gross proceeds of $1,500,000.
Each non-flow through unit will consist of one (1) non-flow through common share and one-half of one share purchase warrant (each whole warrant a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one non-flow through common share at a price of $0.45 for a period of two years from the date of issue. The Company will have the right to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants if, at any time, the volume weighted average price exceeds $0.60 over any 15 day trading period. In the event of acceleration, the expiry date will be accelerated to a date that is 20 days after the Company issues a news release announcing that it has elected to exercise this acceleration right.
The proceeds from the Offering is anticipated to be used towards ongoing exploration for copper-zinc rich VMS deposits in the Flin Flon Greenstone Belt and for general working capital purposes.
