ALX Resources Corp. Announces up to $4.0 Million Equity Facility with Alumina Partners
ALX Resources Corp. (“ALX” or the “Company”) (TSXV: AL; FSE: 6LLN; OTC: ALXEF) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a financing facility (the “Facility”) for up to CDN$4.0 million with Alumina Partners (Ontario) Ltd. (“Alumina”), an affiliate of New York-based private equity firm Alumina Partners LLC.
The investment agreement provides ALX with a financing facility over a period of 24 months during which the Company can draw down equity private placement tranches of up to CDN$250,000. Each tranche will be composed of units with each unit consisting of one common share of the Company (each, a “Common Share”) and one Common Share purchase warrant, at discounts between 15 and 25 percent of the closing price of the Common Shares on the day prior to ALX’s drawdown notice to Alumina. The exercise price of the warrants will be at a 25 per cent premium over market at the time of the issuance and the warrants will have a term of 36 months. Each draw down from the Facility may be subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. All securities issued pursuant to a financing under the Facility will be subject to a statutory hold period that expires four months and one day from issuance.
ALX intends to use the net proceeds of financings under the Facility, if any, for general corporate purposes. No finder’s fees will be paid in connection with a financing under the Facility.
“We are pleased to support ALX as they work to progress their diverse portfolio of opportunities in the resource space,” explained Adi Nahmani, Managing Member of Alumina. “Between their interests in gold, nickel, copper and uranium, ALX is well-positioned to capitalize on a variety of bullish market forces. We are confident in management’s vision and expertise, and look forward to seeing what 2021 will bring.”
“This Facility provides ALX with an alternative form of financing as we enter 2021 in the midst of a strong commodities cycle,” said Warren Stanyer, CEO and Chairman of ALX. “ALX is poised to execute drilling programs on its Canadian properties and welcomes this financing option for the Company.”
