Kazax Amends Loan Agreements and Closes Private Placement of Convertible Debentures and Warrants

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired - Oct. 28, 2014) - Kazax Minerals Inc. ("Kazax" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:KZX). Further to the Company's news release of October 9, 2014, the Company is pleased to announce that it has amended the terms of the US$20 million loans granted to it by two of the Company's directors, Messrs. Riad Al Sadek and Moshtagh Moshtaghi (collectively, the "Holders"), as disclosed in the Company's news release dated September 17, 2014. The amendments have been made by way of the issuance to the Holders, on a non-brokered private placement basis (the "Private Placement"), of US$20,000,000 in an aggregate principal amount of convertible secured debentures (the "Debentures") and an aggregate of 100,000,000 warrants ("Warrants", and together with the Debentures, the "Securities") to purchase common shares of the Company ("Shares"). The Private Placement is subject to final approval by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange").

The Debentures are direct obligations of the Company which will, following receipt of necessary approvals by the Kazakh Ministry of Investments and Development ("MID"), be secured (up to such amount as is approved by MID) by all of the shares of a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Security"). The annual interest rate on the Debentures will be 12.5 per cent. Interest will be payable at maturity in cash or, at the election of the Company and subject to certain conditions, in Shares, in accordance with applicable rules of the Exchange.

The Debentures will mature and become payable on April 27, 2015, subject to an extension of such date to December 31, 2016 following receipt of MID approval of the Security and for the conversion features (the "Maturity Date"). The Holders will have the option to require the Company to repay the Debenture earlier than the Maturity Date upon the occurrence of (i) a sale for consideration by the Company of at least 50% of its shareholdings in Lomonosovkoye LLP or (ii) a change of control of the Company.

The principal amount owing under the Debentures will be convertible into Shares at the option of each Holder at a price of Cdn$0.20 at any time following satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) receipt of all necessary approvals from the Kazakh Ministry of Investments and Development; (ii) approval by the requisite majority of shareholders of the Company; and (iii) where such conversion would not result in a reduction in the existing percentage of common shares of the Company held by persons other than insiders or their associates and affiliates and not subject to resale restrictions (collectively, the "Conversion Conditions").

Subject to satisfaction of the Conversion Conditions, the Warrants will be exercisable to purchase one common share of the Company (a "Warrant Share") at an exercise price of Cdn$0.10 until December 31, 2016, provided however that in the event that the closing price of the Shares on the Exchange is equal to or exceeds Cdn$1.00 for a period of 10 consecutive trading days ("Acceleration Event"), the Warrants will expire on the date which is 90 calendar days after the Company provides notice that the Acceleration Event has occurred.

The Debentures and any Shares issued upon conversion of the Debentures, and the Warrants and any Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants, will be subject to a hold period expiring February 28, 2015.

Under the Private Placement, Mr. Moshtagh Moshtaghi, of 21 Manor House Drive, London England, acquired ownership of Debentures in the principal amount of US$10,000,000 (representing 50% of the Debentures issued pursuant to the Private Placement) and ownership of 50,000,000 Warrants (representing 50% of the Warrants issued pursuant to the Private Placement). Mr. Moshtaghi currently owns or exercises control or direction over 28,000,000 common shares of the Company, representing 12.8% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company on an undiluted basis (294,074,280 common shares representing 47.3%, assuming conversion of the Debentures held by Mr. Moshtaghi, exercise of the Warrants held by Mr. Moshtaghi, conversion of all of the convertible debentures issued on September 26, 2013 ("2013 Debentures"), conversion of all of the convertible debentures issued on April 25, 2014 ("April 2014 Debentures"), conversion of all of the convertible debentures issued on July 14, 2014 ("July 2014 Debentures" and together with the 2013 Debentures and the April 2014 Debentures, the "Historical Debentures") and exercise by Mr. Moshtaghi of the warrants issuable upon conversion of the 2013 Debentures ("2013 Warrants"), the warrants issuable upon conversion of the April 2014 Debentures ("April 2014 Warrants") and the warrants issuable upon conversion of the July 2014 Debentures ("July 2014 Warrants" and together with the 2013 Warrants and the April 2014 Warrants, the "Historical Warrants")).
