MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Mar 2, 2017) - Sphinx Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SFX)

NOTE TO READER - This press release has been refiled to correct the amount of the finder's fee which was initially and by inadvertence listed as $60,992 to $66,578, as well as the amount of the non-transferable finders Warrants which was initially listed as 918,528 to 1,011,628. The amount of the finders' fee payable to Haywood was also and consequently revised from $50,702 to $56,288. There are no other changes to the news release that was previously filed on February 28, 2017. This version of the new release includes the foregoing revisions and replaces the previous filing.

Sphinx Resources Ltd. ("Sphinx" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:SFX) announces that it has closed a non-brokered hard dollar private placement (the "Private Placement") for aggregate gross proceeds of $ 1,402,810, including $ 804,110 from subscribers identified by Haywood Securities Inc. ("Haywood") and $ 400,400 from four Québec-based institutional funds:

  • Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec ("CDPQ") ($ 150,000);
  • Capital croissance PME II, s.e.c. ("CCPME") ($ 100,200);
  • Société de développement de la Baie-James ("SDBJ") ($ 100,200) : and
  • Société d'investissement dans la diversification de l'exploration ("SIDEX") ($ 50,000).

The Private Placement was comprised of 23,380,165 units of the Corporation at a price of $0.06 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Corporation and one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at a price of $0.09 per common share until February 28, 2020. The securities of the Corporation to be issued pursuant to the Private Placement are subject to a four-month hold period expiring June 29, 2017. Management and one director of the Corporation subscribed for an amount of $15,300 of the Private Placement.

The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used to fund the Corporation's precious metals exploration projects (Cheechoo-Éléonore Trend and Chemin Troïlus in Eeyou Istchee James Bay and Green Palladium in the Pontiac regional municipal county in southwestern Quebec) and for general working capital purposes. Funding for drilling the Calumet-Sud zinc project (next to the Green Palladium project) will be provided solely by SOQUEM, Sphinx's partner on that project. SOQUEM can acquire a 50% interest in the Project by carrying out exploration work totaling $450,000. The Private Placement has been conditionally accepted by the TSX Venture Exchange.

"We would like to thank Haywood, Québec institutions, and our existing and new shareholders for their support. We are enthusiastic about the upcoming drilling programs on three separate projects: Calumet-Sud for zinc, Green Palladium for palladium and Chemin Troïlus for gold, and look forward to a steady flow of news for the balance of 2017." stated Normand Champigny, President and CEO.

In connection with the Private Placement, the Corporation has agreed to pay to certain finders a finder's fee of up to 7% in cash, representing an aggregate amount of up to $66,992 and will issue 1,011,628 non-transferable finders Warrants, each such entitling the finder to acquire one common share at a price of $0.09 per common share for a period of three years from the date of grant. This amount includes finders' fees of $56,288 paid to Haywood.
