(TheNewswire)

VANCOUVER, B.C. – TheNewswire - October 31, 2019 – AbraPlata Resource Corp. (TSX.V: ABRA; OTCPK: ABBRF) (“AbraPlata” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the “Placement”). In connection with the closing of the Placement, the Company issued 25,000,000 units (each, a “Unit”) at a price of $0.06 per Unit for gross proceeds of $1,500,000. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (each, a “Common Share”) and one common share purchase warrant (each, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one additional Common Share at a price of $0.10 for a period of twenty-four months.

The proceeds of the Placement will be used to commence a diamond drilling program at the Diablillos Silver-Gold project and for general working capital purposes. In connection with the completion of the Placement, the Company paid finders’ fees of $8,100, to certain parties who assisted the Company by introducing subscribers to the Placement.

All securities issued in connection with the closing of the Placement will be subject to a four-month-and-one-day statutory hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws.

Certain insiders of the Company participated in the Placement for a total of $187,500. Participation by the Company’s directors and other insiders in the Placement is considered to be a “related party transaction” as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Placement is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the securities being issued to insiders, nor the consideration being paid by such insiders, exceeds 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

The securities offered in the Placement 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 U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, United States 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 news release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of any offer to buy securities in the United States, nor in any other jurisdiction.
