Quia Resources Announces Closing of First Tranche of Private Placement and Plan for Second Tranche Concurrent with Debt Settlement

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 10/26/12 -- Quia Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: QIA) ("Quia" or the "Company") announced today that it closed the first tranche of a non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") consisting of 5,200,661 units ("Units") for aggregate gross proceeds of $260,033.05. In addition, as part of the Offering, the Company plans to issue Units for certain debt amounting to $332,077.30 subject to conditional approval by the TSXV. Concurrently with the closing of the debt settlement, the company plans to close a further tranche of the private placement including additional cash subscriptions it has received.

Each Unit consists of one (1) common share of the Company (a "Common Share") and one half (1/2) of one warrant ("Warrant"). Each full Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $0.10 per Common Share for a period of 18 months from the closing date. The term of the Warrants is subject to an acceleration right at the option of the Company, provided that the common shares of the Company trade at or above $0.25 for a full 20 consecutive trading days after February 26, 2013 and the Company has provided Warrant holders with 30 days prior written notice of the accelerated Warrant exercise date.

The securities are subject to a four month hold period expiring February 26, 2013.

Canaccord Genuity Corp. and Foundation Markets Inc., acting as finders, received cash commissions of $3,383.60 and $1,890 respectively, and Canaccord Genuity Corp., received 67,672 compensation options ("Compensation Options"), each Compensation Option being exercisable into one Unit within 18 months of closing at an exercise price of $0.05. Quia is a related issuer of Foundation Markets Inc. and may be considered to be a connected issuer of Foundation Markets Inc. and therefore Foundation Markets Inc. did not receive Compensation Options.
