08.07.2016  |  CNW
VANCOUVER, July 8, 2016 - Kootenay Silver Inc. (TSXV:KTN) ("Kootenay" or the "Company") is pleased to report that, in connection with its previously announced private placement offering of units (the "Units") at a price of $0.40 per Unit (the "Offering Price"), it has amended its agreement with Haywood Securities Inc. (the "Agent") to increase the amount of the Offering from 10,000,000 Units to up to 11,250,000 Units for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $4,500,000 (the "Offering"). In addition, the Company is pleased to announce that Pan American Siver Corp. (TSX: PAA, NASDAQ: PAAS)("Pan American") has indicated it intends to exercise its participation right in full to maintain its pro-rata 10% interest in the Company. As a result, Pan American will subscribe for up to an additional 1,250,000 Units at the Offering Price for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $500,000 (the "Non-Brokered Offering").

The number of additional Units that may be acquired under the option granted to the Agent (the "Agent's Option") has also been increased from 1,500,000 Units to 1,687,500 Units. The Agent's Option is exercisable in whole or in part by giving notice to the Company at any time up to 48 hours prior to the closing date. As previous disclosed, each Unit shall consist of one common share and one-quarter of one common share purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one common share (a "Warrant Share") at a price per Warrant Share of $0.55 for a period ending April 21, 2021. The Warrants will have identical terms to the 23,103,969 listed warrants (the "Listed Warrants") of the Company currently outstanding and trading under the ticker 'TSXV: KTN.WT'. Assuming the completion of the Offering, the exercise of the Agent's Option, and the Non-Brokered Offering, the Company will issue 14,187,500 Units for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,675,000.

The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to fund the exploration and development of the Company's La Cigarra project in Mexico and for general working capital purposes.

All securities to be issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a four month hold period under applicable securities laws in Canada. Subject to compliance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange, the Company will apply to list the Warrants on the TSXV with the Listed Warrants, on the expiry of the four month hold period.

The Offering is expected to close on or before July 28, 2016 (the "Closing"). Closing of the Offering is subject to certain conditions customary for financings of this kind, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals including approval and acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company has agreed to pay the Agent a cash commission of 6% of the gross proceeds raised under the Offering including on exercise of the Agent's Option and issue compensation warrants equal to 3% of the number of Units and Additional Units sold. Each such compensation warrant will entitle the Agent to purchase one common share at a price of $0.55 for a period of twelve months following the closing of the Offering. Certain insiders of the Company have indicated that they intend to participate in a portion of the Offering.
