Vancouver, British Columbia CANADA, August 02, 2013 /FSC/ -
Peruvian Precious Metals Corp (PPX - TSX Venture), (the "Company"), is pleased to announce it has engaged Marquest Capital Markets (the "Agent") to conduct a brokered private placement of securities of the Company (the "Offering") to raise gross proceeds of up to $1,500,000 through the sale of up to 10,000,000 units of the Company (the "Units") at a price of $0.15 per Unit.
Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (a "Common Share") and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder, on exercise thereof, to purchase one additional Common Share at a price of $0.25 for a period of 24 months from the completion of the Offering, provided that if the daily volume weighted average price for twenty (20) consecutive days of trading of the Company's shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (or such other stock exchange on which shares of the Company are listed) exceeds $0.45 per share, the expiry date of the Warrants may be accelerated to the day which is thirty (30) calendar days after notice of acceleration has been sent by the Company to Warrant holders.
In connection with the Offering, the Company will pay to the Agent a cash fee equal to 8% of the gross proceeds raised under the Offering and will issue to the Agent non-transferable warrants ("Agent's Warrants") to purchase that number of Common Shares equal to 8% of the aggregate number of Units sold in the Offering (together, the "Agency Fee"). Each Agent's Warrant will entitle the Agent to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.25 for a period of 24 months following the closing date of the Offering. The Company has also agreed to grant the Agent an option (the "Agent's Option") to offer on the same terms as the Offering up to 2,000,000 additional Units representing additional gross proceeds of up to $300,000. The Agent's Option is exercisable at any time up to the closing of the Offering. The Agent will be entitled to the Agency Fee in respect of any Units sold upon exercise of the Agent's Option.
All securities issued in connection with the Offering will be subject to a minimum four month plus one day hold period. The Offering is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. Closing of the transaction is expected to be on or around August 15, 2013.
Net proceeds from the Offering will principally be used to advance the Company's properties located in Peru and for general corporate purposes.
This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities in the United States. The securities 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 may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, unless an exemption from such registration is available.
