VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 29, 2015 / American CuMo Mining Corp. (TSXV: MLY) (OTC Pink: MLYCF) ("CuMoCo" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement of up to 10,000,000 units (the "Units") at a price of Cdn$0.08 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to $800,000 (the "Offering"). Funds will be used for general working capital ($400,000) and to fund ongoing work on the Company’s CuMo porphyry molybdenum-copper-silver project located in Idaho (the "CuMo Project") ($400,000). Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company and one share purchase warrant (a "Warrant") exercisable to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of Cdn$0.15 per common share for a period of five years from the date of issue, subject to an acceleration provision whereby the term of the Warrants may be accelerated in the event that the Company’s common shares trade at or above a price of Cdn$0.175 per share for a period of 10 consecutive trading days. In such case, the Company may give notice to the holders of Warrants that the Warrants will expire 20 days from the date of providing such notice.
The Offering shall include two parts: a private placement to existing shareholders of CuMoCo (the "Existing Shareholder Private Placement") under a new prospectus exemption process as set out in British Columbia Instrument 45-534 (and in similar instruments in other provinces of Canada except for Ontario and Newfoundland and Labrador) and a non-brokered private placement to all other eligible investors in accordance with applicable TSX Venture Exchange rules and securities laws (the "Concurrent Offering").
Existing shareholders of CuMoCo are encouraged to participate in the proposed Existing Shareholder Private Placement and are invited to contact CuMoCo by email at info@cumoco.com or by telephone at +1 (604) 689-7902, for additional information. Only CuMoCo shareholders who, as of the close of business on September 25, 2015, held common shares of CuMoCo and continue to hold common shares at the time of closing may participate in the Existing Shareholder Private Placement. Unless the CuMoCo shareholder is a person that has obtained advice regarding the suitability of the investment and, if such shareholder is resident in a jurisdiction of Canada, that advice has been obtained from a person that is registered as an investment dealer in such jurisdiction, the aggregate subscription cost to such shareholder for the Units subscribed under the Existing Shareholder Private Placement cannot exceed $15,000 (187,500 Units). Existing shareholders who are residents of the Provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Québec, Saskatchewan, Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut may participate in the Existing Shareholder Private Placement and existing shareholders resident in countries other than Canada may need to meet the applicable eligibility requirements, if any, in their jurisdiction of residence to participate. Shareholders resident in Ontario and Newfoundland and Labrador are not permitted to participate in the Existing Shareholder Private Placement.
The maximum offering under the Existing Shareholder Private Placement shall be the balance of the Offering not sold through the Concurrent Offering to institutional and eligible accredited investors and no minimum number of Units and minimum dollar amount raised has been set. If the aggregate subscriptions for Units under the Existing Shareholder Private Placement exceed the maximum number of Units proposed to be distributed, subscriptions will be accepted on a first come, first served basis such that it is possible that a subscription received from a shareholder may not be accepted by the Company if the Offering is over-subscribed, The Board of Directors will decide on whether or not to increase the size of the placement to accommodate the over subscription. The terms and completion of the Offering are subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.
The securities offered pursuant to the Offering have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any United States state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration or any applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in the United States, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
UPDATE ON CUMO PROJECT
The Company announces that the Supplemental Environmental Assessment being prepared for the CuMo Project is nearing completion, which will enable the Company to complete its exploration program. The US Forest Service has delivered replies to all objections filed by opposition groups and the Company is awaiting the delivery of the final Decision Notice.
The Company has also decided to investigate the possibilities of applying ore sorting techniques to the CuMo Project. Ore sorting allows for the separation of the material that contains the grade from the waste. Given that only approximately 10 to 20% of the actual rock at the CuMo Project contains the grade, the Company believes that ore sorting has excellent potential to substantially reduce costs, both capital and operating, for the project. The investigation will begin with the collection of samples for analysis during the last week of September and should take a few months to complete. An independent engineering firm will complete a National Instrument 43-101 compliant report on the ore-sorting results.
Discussions continue with potential financing partners on funding the full feasibility study for the CuMo Project.
Mr. Shaun M. Dykes, M.Sc. (Eng), P.Geo., President and CEO of the Company, is the designated qualified person for the CuMo Project, and prepared the technical information contained in this news release.
