IMX Raises A$2.97 million for Graphite and Gold Exploration in Tanzania

Proceeds to fund upcoming drilling programs at Chilalo graphite prospect and Kishugu gold prospect

West Perth WA (FSCwire) - IMX Resources (ASX: IXR, TSX: IXR, IXR.WT) is pleased to announce that it has completed an underwritten placement of 110 million shares at an issue price of 2.7 cents per share to sophisticated and professional investors to raise A$2.97 million before costs (the Placement). The proceeds will be used to underpin upcoming drilling programs at the Company’s highly prospective graphite and gold prospects in Tanzania, East Africa.

The Placement is being undertaken in two tranches, the first of which comprises the issue of 55 million shares using the Company's existing placement capacity under Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) Listing Rule 7.1 (Tranche One). The second tranche, comprising the issue of 55 million shares, is subject to the approval of IMX shareholders (Tranche Two). A General Meeting of IMX shareholders is expected to be held in mid-September 2014 to approve Tranche Two.

IMX Managing Director Gary Sutherland said the strong demand for the Placement reflected the outstanding potential of the Chilalo and Kishugu prospects and the Nachingwea Property more broadly.

“We are delighted to have received such strong support for this share placement which is a real vote of confidence in the Company and our exploration projects at Nachingwea.”

Following completion of both tranches of the placement, IMX will have a total of 506,497,145 shares on issue.

The issue price represents a discount of 23% to the last closing price for IMX shares on the ASX of 3.5 cents on 30 July 2014 and a 20% discount to the 10-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) of 3.37 cents in the period to 30 July 2014.

The Company will use the proceeds under the Placement for the following purposes:

- To carry out further exploration work at the Chilalo graphite and Kishugu gold prospects located within the Nachingwea Property in south-east Tanzania, including planned upcoming fieldwork and drilling programs;

- For completion of study work required under the Tanzanian Mining Act in order to retain the tenement on which the Company’s Ntaka Hill nickel sulphide resource is situated;

- Meeting costs associated with the renewal of tenements on the Nachingwea Property; and

- General working capital.

Settlement of Tranche One is expected to occur on 7 August 2014, with the new shares expected to be allotted and to commence trading on the ASX on 11 August 2014. Shares issued under the Placement (the Placement Shares) will rank equally with the Company's existing issued shares. BBY Limited acted as the sole Lead Manager and Underwriter to the Placement.
