CANAMEX GOLD CORP PRESS RELEASE
Non-Brokered Private Placement – Gold Royalty Tokens
|
Vancouver, British Columbia / The Newswire / 2nd February 2018 – Canamex Gold Corp. (the “Company”) |
|
(TSX-V: CSQ) (OTCBB: CNMXF) (FSE: CX6) is pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement of Gold Royalty Tokens (the “Offering”), to accredited investors. Further details are provided below. |
? 1,000,000 Gold Royalty Tokens at 0.005oz per Unit for 5,000 ounces gold
? Each Gold Royalty Token offered at $USD 5.00 ($CAD 6.25)
? Minimum subscription: 200 Gold Royalty Tokens for $USD 1000 ($CAD 1250)
The total Offering will raise up to $CAD 6,250,000 for the Company. There is no minimum offering. The Gold Royalty Tokens are redeemable in lots of 200 Gold Royalty Tokens, for one fine ounce gold bar, fineness 99.99%, which is LBMA good delivery certified from a nominated LBMA accredited bullion house, at any time after the bullion delivery event, as defined in the Offering. The Gold Royalty Tokens, have a term of 13 years, are not-transferable and will not be listed for trading on any traditional stock exchange.
As this Offering is effectively a royalty arrangement, it is an obligation that is attached to the Bruner Gold Project (“Bruner”) itself. The royalty obligation will be registered against the Bruner property. The Gold Royalty Tokens will only pay out, if there is production from Bruner. If the Company, (or its successors, or trustees etc.) fail to place Bruner into production, within the next 13 years, the Gold Royalty Tokens may have little or no value. The Gold Royalty Tokens are illiquid as they cannot be resold, traded on a traditional stock exchange, or otherwise distributed or transferred by participants in this Offering. This Offering may result in a dilution of common shareholder’s investment, as the Company will have a legal obligation to deliver all gold required, pursuant to this Offering, to participants in this Offering, prior to any claim by common shareholders. The Gold Royalty Tokens will have no voting rights, nor do they have a right to participate in any residual equity of the Company.

Use of the Proceeds
The net proceeds of the Offering will be used by the Company to carry out the following:
1. Initial Crypto-Token Offering (ITO) Development Work: ITO development work, including developing the regulatory documentation, the ITO landing platform, the logistics and the processes to initiate and complete a planned ITO of gold and/or silver backed Crypto-Tokens, with smart contracts, deployed on the Ethereum blockchain during 2018. Proceeds budgeted 10%.
2. Bruner Gold Development Project: Development work in 2018 to the mine financing stage, including finalizing engineering design, optimizing mining plan, complete environmental permitting, and various associated permitting work, based on the 2018 updated PEA recommendations. Proceeds budgeted 70%.
3. Silverton Gold Exploration Project: Complete geochemistry and geophysics work, leading to
defining and executing a drilling campaign in 2018. Proceeds budgeted 20%.
Bruner Gold Development Project
As the Company is still in the development phase with its Bruner Gold Project, in Nevada, it has yet to produce any gold or other resources. The Company has not yet made a production decision, and is raising capital to advance the project through permitting and feasibility, the results of which are anticipated to support a production decision upon completion. Whilst the 2018 updated PEA is positive, and recommends advancing the project through permitting and feasibility, it is based upon mineral resources only, and not mineral reserves. The results of a feasibility study may differ from the results of the PEA. Therefore, a Gold Royalty Token linked to the production of such mineral resources is speculative, as there is no definitive time horizon in which commercial production of such resources could commence; given that there is no definitive feasibility study demonstrating economic production.
Initial Crypto-Token Offering (ITO) Considerations
Gold Royalty Token holders may be offered a priority allocation into any ITO, where any is conducted by the Company in 2018, by offering the Gold Royalty Token holders conversion of their Gold Royalty Tokens to Crypto-Tokens deployed on the Ethereum blockchain, with a priority allocation in the ITO.
The Company is not undertaking any current ITO right now. If, as and when the Company wishes to undertake an ITO, it will disclose such details at that time, including any priority allocation in any ITO, to the holders of the Gold Royalty Tokens.
|
Whilst the Company is not conducting a ITO now it may decide to do so in the future. If the Company decides to do so, it will determine the terms of such offering and such ITO may be deemed to be a securities offering, for the purposes of the Securities Act (British Columbia) and therefore require either a prospectus or an exemption from the prospectus requirement to issue the Crypto-Tokens deployed on the Ethereum |

blockchain. The Company may utilize the accredited investors exemption, the offering memorandum exemption or such other exemptions from the prospectus requirement that are detailed in National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions. However, in certain instances the issuance of a Crypto-Tokens may be determined to be a derivative if the underlying asset of the crypto-token is a commodity, which is not an investment contract. Until the Company finalizes any terms of any ITO it will be unable to definitively determine if the Crypto-Token is a security or a derivative. Crypto-Tokens may be tradeable on the Ethereum blockchain. If such Crypto-Tokens are a security then the Company will need to file a prospectus to permit the secondary market trading of the Crypto-Token or alternatively apply for an exemption from the prospectus requirement for secondary market trading, and there are no assurances that such exemptions will be granted. |
My take is I would have preferred a claim on its gold holdings for perpetuity until mine opens and maybe then limit it to 13 year production. Like a sleeping royalty that only makes money when going into production. I once participated in an offering where a company offered my a pay back of original invested money when their mine would open. There was no time constraint on it. This seems like a better than this one. Maybe a future ICO on its gold holdings (gold in the ground) will make sense, as long as you have long term ownership of it. I really do not get it how they can sell 5000 ounces of gold at a fair discount for a mine that maybe will only open in 15 years? I believe there should be more guarantee attached to it.
After reading the NR this morning, I sold my Canamex. I think there are better places to have that money working for me.
No thank you. When the story is more about cryptos than resource or grades, count me out.
You may want to look into Spock’s record on his 2017 private placements. I’ve lost plenty in Secova and Nexus already.
I lost money on 1 Private placement the last year. And the only advise I could give, is focus on management, what did they realize before, have they discovered mines already or not, …. This should help you avoiding investing in less promising or too promotional companies.
Never forget that starting up a mine is NOT easy, see how much money Rye Patch gold has raised, and the company is still not break-even and only burning cash. Maybe Canamex should sell a straight 2.5-3.5% royalty like the Florida Canyon royalty Maverix bought beginning this year. This should be the same as raising 6M$ I guess.
out of my realm, hard enough to turn a dime with an actual functioning,producing,no debt gold stock. I guess this way saves share dilution but still fingers in the cookpot.
