TORONTO, Oct. 11, 2012 /CNW/ - Temex Resources Corp. (TSX Venture: TME, Frankfurt: TQ1) ("Temex" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced brokered private placement offering led by Stifel Nicolaus Canada Inc. and including M Partners Inc., Casimir Capital Ltd., and MGI Securities Inc. (collectively, the "Agents") (see the Company's news release dated September 21, 2012) (the "Brokered Offering"), pursuant to which an aggregate of 22,670,000 units (each, a "Unit") were sold at a price of $0.28 per Unit and an aggregate of 6,250,000 "flow-through" shares (each, a "FT Share") were sold at a price of $0.32 per FT Share, raising gross proceeds of approximately $8.30 milion.  Each Unit consists of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant.  Each whole common share purchase warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of $0.40 for a 24-month period.  4,820,000 of the Units were sold under the Agent's over-allotment option, which was exercised in full.

The Company also closed a non-brokered private placement (the "Non-Brokered Financing"), pursuant to which an aggregate of 1,217,860 Units were sold and an aggregate of 803,125 FT Shares were sold, in each case at the same price as the Brokered Offering, raising gross proceeds of approximately $598,000.

The aggregate gross proceeds raised from the sale of the FT Shares under the Brokered Offering and the Non-Brokered Financing (collectively, the "Offerings") will be used by the Company to incur exploration expenditures on its precious metals properties.  The net proceeds raised from the sale of the Units under the Offerings are expected to be used for exploration and working capital purposes.

An institutional investor (owning more than 10% of the outstanding common shares of Temex prior to the Offerings) subscribed for an aggregate of 7,100,000 Units and 2,656,250 FT Shares pursuant to the Brokered Offering.  Certain officers and directors of the Company participated in the Offerings and acquired an aggregate of 240,000 Units.  The participation of each such person in the Offerings constitutes a "related party transaction" under Multilateral Instrument 61-101, which is exempt from the minority approval and valuation requirements under such Instrument.

The Agents were paid a cash commission equal to 6% of the gross proceeds of the Brokered Offering, less the proceeds raised pursuant to subscriptions by persons involved with, or introduced to the Brokered Offering by management of, the Company.  The Agents were also issued an aggregate of 1,717,425 non-assignable warrants of the Company (each, a "Broker Warrant").  Each Broker Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Unit of the Company at a price of $0.28 until October 11, 2014.  In addition, the Company has paid an aggregate cash finder's fee of $11,760 and has issued an aggregate of 37,500 non-assignable finder warrants of the Company (each, a "Finder Warrant") in connection with the Non-Brokered Financing.  Each Finder Warrant has the same terms as the Brokered Warrants.

The securities issued under the Offerings are subject to a hold period expiring on February 12, 2013.
