VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jun 23, 2014) - Corex Gold Corporation (the "Company") (TSX:CGE) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a letter agreement (the "Agreement") with H. Morgan & Company ("Morgan") to provide financing of up to $1.65 million and to provide operational and management services in regards to the Company's Santana property (the "Santana Property" or the "Property"), with the intent of moving the company into production. The 100% owned Santana property is located in the State of Sonora, Mexico.
The Agreement calls for Morgan to provide Corex with financing in two tranches, with the first tranche of $400,000 to be advanced upon satisfactory completion of due diligence and agreement upon the final form of written agreements by Morgan. The second tranche of $1,250,000 will be advanced following satisfactory completion of the initial work program and at the sole discretion of Morgan. Each financing tranche will be structured as a private placement with the first tranche consisting of 4,000,000 units of the Company to be issued at a purchase price of $0.10 per unit. Each unit will consist of one common share and one warrant exercisable into an additional common share for a period of two years at an exercise price of $0.15 per share.
The second tranche will consist of units to be issued at a price equal to the maximum allowable discount pursuant to the rules of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") as of the date of issuance, each unit consisting of one common share and one warrant exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance. Each financing tranche is subject to the acceptance of the Exchange. The Agreement requires that the proceeds of the financing be used solely with respect to exploration and development of the Santana Property, or maintenance payments on same.
The Agreement also provides that Morgan will manage feasibility work on the property with the objective of advancing the Property into commercial production. As such, Corex, pursuant to the terms of a written agreement (the "Management Agreement"), will appoint Morgan's corporate partner, Minas de Guachinango S.A de C.V., a Mexico corporation (the "Manager") as the manager over the activities to be conducted on the Property. The Management Agreement will be terminated upon the earlier of the Manager's resignation and termination of the Management Agreement or following the commencement of profitable commercial production at the Property.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Corex has additionally granted to Morgan a participation right with respect to any future equity or convertible debt financing while the Management Agreement is in force and a right of first refusal with respect to any financing required in order for the Property to be made profitable after the completion of a phase 2 work program.
Mr. Craig Schneider, President & CEO of Corex, stated, "Chester Millar, the founder of Glamis Gold, Eldorado Gold, Alamos Gold, and more recently Castle Gold (now Argonaut Gold) is an investment advisor to Morgan. As such, we are very pleased to have access to a person of Mr. Millar's experience and expertise involved with the operations of our Santana property en route to one day potentially being a production based asset."
