TORONTO, Oct. 31, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- QMX Gold Corporation (“QMX” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: QMX) is pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement financing to raise gross proceeds of up to $1.5 million (the “Offering”).  The Offering shall consist of approximately 16,666,666 flow through units (each a “Unit”) at a price of $0.09 per Unit that qualify as “flow through shares” for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada).  Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company and one half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"), entitling the holder to acquire one additional common share at an exercise price of $0.11 for a period of 24 months from issuance.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to fund the Company’s current exploration activities on its Val-d’Or Mining Camp property located in Québec.

The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about November 28, 2018 and is subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The flow-through shares issued under this Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period ending four months and one day from the closing date of the Offering.

QMX has engaged Canaccord Genuity Corp. to act as its financial advisor for the offering. The Company may compensate persons who act as finders for the Offering in accordance with the rules of the TSX Venture Exchange.

All of the expenditures funded with the gross proceeds of the Offering shall qualify for "Canadian Exploration Expenses" (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) and will qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" (the "Qualifying Expenditures"), as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Income Tax Act (Canada). In addition, the underlying shares will also qualify for the two 10% enhancements under section 726.4.9 and section 726.4.17.1 of the Quebec Taxation Act, which will be renounced to the subscribers with an effective date no later than December 31, 2018 to the initial purchasers of the Units in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issue of the Units.

The securities offered have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
