VANCOUVER, Sept. 26, 2013 - Kazax Minerals Inc. ("Kazax" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:KZX) Further to the Company's news release of August 15, 2013, the Company is pleased to announce it has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") of convertible unsecured non-interest bearing debentures (the "Debentures") for aggregate proceeds of $19,568,893.00 (the "Aggregate Proceeds"). The Debentures will mature on and become payable on September 26, 2016 (the "Maturity Date") and are direct, unsecured obligations of the Company, ranking equally with all other unsecured indebtedness of the Company. Upon receipt of all necessary approvals from the Ministry of Industry and New Technologies of the Republic of Kazakhstan on or before the Maturity Date for the Debentures, the principal amount of the Debentures will automatically be converted into units of the Company (the "Units") at the conversion price of $0.15 per Unit.
Each Unit will be comprised of one common share (a "Share") of the Company and one-half of one share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant (a "Warrant") exercisable to purchase one additional Share (a "Warrant Share") until September 26, 2016, at an exercise price of $0.35. In the event that the closing price of the common shares of the Company on TSX Venture Exchange is equal to or exceeds $1.00 for a period of 10 consecutive trading days (the "Acceleration Event"), the Warrants will expire on the date which is 90 calendar days after the Company provides notice to the holders of the Warrants that the Acceleration Event has occurred.
The Debentures, and any Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares issued upon conversion of the Debentures or exercise of the Warrants, will be subject to a hold period expiring January 27, 2014.

As a result, the Company presently has approximately $9,290,000.00 in cash on hand. The proceeds of the Private Placement will be used for general working capital purposes.
