Robex Resources Inc.: Closing of Private Placement

QUEBEC, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - July 2, 2015) - Robex Resources Inc. ("Robex" and / or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE:RBX)(FRANKFURT:RB4) announces the closing of the private placement in the form of debentures, for an amount of $7,105,000 Canadian.

The debentures sold at a price of $ 1,000 per debenture have a maturity of 3 years and bear an annual interest rate of 10% payable on each anniversary date. They are repayable on the maturity date. The debentures are convertible at their maturity by their holders upon the company's agreement. The latter may otherwise force the conversion of the debentures at the maturity date to the extent that the closing market price of the common shares of the company was equal to or exceeds $ 0.25 for 21 consecutive trading days preceding the maturity date of the debentures. The conversion, if any, will be made in common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $ 0.10 per common share, being 10,000 common shares per $ 1,000 of debenture capital.

Closing of the offering will be subject to regulatory approvals. The Debentures that will be issued under this offering will be subject to a hold period of four months plus one day from the date of closing. The Cohen Group has subscribed to this financing for an amount 6,500,000 Canadian dollars.

These additional funds will cover:

• the immediate establishment of an exploration program at Nampala with the objective to transfer up to a million ounces (1,000,000 ounces) of inferred resources towards the measured and indicated resources; and
• the working capital funds needed at the moment of the restart at 4,000 tonnes per day (t / d) of the Nampala mine; and
• the increase in investment of 4 million Canadian dollars on the Nampala mine to cover the purchase of a higher level of equipment than originally planned including a new ball mill at 4,000 t / j instead of a used ball mill, adding a Zadra type elution system capable of operating atmospherically or under pressure instead of simply improving the former elution system; and
• finally, these funds will offset the increase in the US dollar versus the Canadian dollar (the investment budget being held in US dollars).

Repayment of the temporary loan of $ 2 million CAD from Georges Cohen

In addition, Robex confirms the repayment of a temporary loan of 2 million Canadian dollars from Mr. Georges Cohen, president and CEO of the Company which had been granted May 19, 2015.
