TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired - Dec. 2, 2013) - Oremex Silver Inc. ("Oremex" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:OAG)(OTCQX:ORAGF)(FRANKFURT:OSI) announces that it has agreed to terms in regards to a private placement (the "Offering") with Global Resources Investments Ltd. ("GRIL"), an arm's length party to the Company.
Pursuant to the Offering, the Company is seeking to raise up to $1,725,000 (the "Private Placement Proceeds") through the sale of 34,500,000 units ("Units") at a price of $0.05 per Unit.
Each Unit shall consist of one common share of the Company (each, a "Common Share") and one common share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"), each such Warrant exercisable to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.05 per share at any time up until the date that is five years from the date of the Offering.
In consideration for the Units, GRIT has issued to the Company 1,053,756 subscription receipts exercisable to acquire 1,053,756 ordinary shares of GRIT at a price of £1.00 per share (the "GRIT Shares"). The Units are to be held in escrow pending satisfaction of the completion of the listing of the GRIT Shares on the London Stock Exchange (LSE), upon which the subscription receipts shall automatically be exercised and the Company shall receive one GRIT Share for each subscription receipt held by the Company, without payment of any additional consideration. The Company will then sell the GRIT Shares through the facilities of the LSE to realize the Private Placement Proceeds.
GRIL has been established to exploit investment opportunities in the junior mining and natural resources sectors worldwide, with an investment objective to generate medium and long-term capital growth. GRIL will re-register as a public company and be constituted as an investment trust with the name Global Resources Investment Trust Plc ("GRIT") and seek admission of its ordinary shares on the main market for listed securities on the London Stock Exchange.
A finder's fee in the form of Units will be payable to MGI Securities Inc. for introducing the Company to, and assisting in negotiating the transaction with, GRIL.
Closing of the Offering is subject to a number of conditions precedent, including approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and GRIT successfully listing the GRIT Shares on the LSE. GRIT expects to be listed on the LSEF on or prior to December 31, 2013. Upon exercise of the subscription receipts, GRIT will hold approximately 19% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Corporation.
Corporate Update
The Company is pleased to announce that the British Columbia Securities Commission (the "BCSC") has granted a full revocation of the cease trade order relating to the trading of the Company's securities issued by the BCSC on November 6, 2013.
