Vancouver, November 23, 2020 - ATEX Resources Inc.

The Offering was led Mackie Research Capital Corporation, as sole bookrunner, and Canaccord Genuity Corp., as co-lead agents (the "Agents"). Each Unit is comprised of one common share of the Company (a "Common Share") and one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant shall be exercisable to acquire one Common Share (a "Warrant Share") at a price of $0.30 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months from the closing of the Offering.
ATEX intends to use the proceeds from the Offering to complete a 5,000-metre drill program dedicated to both infill and resource expansion drilling of the near surface Oxide Gold Deposit at the Company's Valeriano Copper Gold Project ("Valeriano"). In addition to the drilling program, proceeds will also be used for metallurgical studies, geophysical surveys, mapping, trenching and sampling at Valeriano along with regional exploration activities and general corporate purposes.
In connection with the Offering, the Agents received an aggregate cash fee equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds from the Offering. In addition, the Company granted the Agents non-transferable compensation options (the "Compensation Options") equal to 8.0% of the total number of Units sold under the Offering. Each Compensation Option will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Unit at an exercise price equal to the Offering Price for a period of 12 months from the date hereof.
The securities described herein 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 state securities laws, and accordingly, may not be offered or sold within the United States except in compliance with the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities requirements or pursuant to exemptions therefrom.
