VANCOUVER, BC, July 24,
2024 /CNW/ - Callinex Mines Inc. (the "Company"
or "Callinex") (TSXV: CNX) (OTCQX: CLLXF) is pleased to announce
the closing of its previously announced non-brokered private
placement of $2,094,409 (the
"Financing"), which represents an oversubscription of
$594,409 of the originally announced
financing (see news release dated July 10,
2024).
The Financing consists of (i) 753,412 hard dollar units (the
"HD Units") at a price of C$1.25 per HD Unit (the "HD Offering
Price") for gross proceeds of up to C$941,765; and (ii) 543,700 Manitoba flow-through units (the "FT
Units") at a price of C$2.12 per
FT Unit (the "MB FT Offering Price") for gross
proceeds of up to $1,152,644.
Each HD Unit consists of one common share and one-half of one
transferable common share purchase warrant (each whole such common
share purchase warrant, a "Warrant"). Each FT Unit consists
of one flow-through common share and one-half of one transferrable
Warrant to be issued on a non-flow-through basis. Each Warrant is
exercisable into one additional common share (a "Warrant
Share") for two (2) years from closing at an exercise price of
C$2.00 per Warrant Share.
The securities issued will be subject to restrictions on resale
for a period of four months and day from the date of issue.
In connection with the Financing, the Company paid a finders' fee
of $3,750 to a registered finder.
Michael Louie, an insider of the
Company, has subscribed for 20,000 HD Units for gross proceeds of
$25,000. The issuance of the HD Units
to the insider is considered a related party transaction subject to
Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security
Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company
intends to rely on exemptions from the formal valuation and
minority shareholder approval requirements provided under sections
5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI 61-101 on the basis that the participation
by the insider will not exceed 25% of the fair market value of the
Company's market capitalization.
The gross proceeds from the sale of FT Units will be used by the
Company to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that will
qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" as such terms are
defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Qualifying Expenditures")
related to the Pine Bay Project, Manitoba. All Qualifying Expenditures will be
renounced in favour of the subscribers of the Flow-Through Shares
effective December 31, 2024. The net
proceeds from the sale of the HD Units will be used by the Company
for working capital and general corporate purposes.
In addition, further to the Company's news release dated
May 28, 2024, the Company confirms
that it entered into an investor relations agreement with
Joseph Gray. Mr. Gray's term
is for a period of three months and, if not terminated, will be
automatically renewed on a month-to-month basis. Additional
details on the engagement are set forth in the news release dated
May 28, 2024.

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
