TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Nov. 3, 2014) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Amerix Precious Metals Corporation (TSX VENTURE:APM)(FRANKFURT:NJGN) ("Amerix" or the "Company") announces that, further to its press releases of July 7, 2014, August 14, 2014, September 30, 2014 and October 31, 2014 (the "Prior Releases"), it wishes to provide an update on its proposed business combination with Eagle Graphite Corporation ("Eagle").

Extension of Letter of Intent with Eagle

Amerix has agreed to an amendment to the terms of the non-binding letter of intent ("LOI") with Eagle in respect of a transaction pursuant to which Eagle and its shareholders will complete a business combination with Amerix (the "Transaction"). Amerix and Eagle have agreed to extend the time required to finalize the terms of the Transaction, complete the definitive agreement, and complete the brokered private placement financing until November 30, 2014. All other terms of the LOI remain unchanged. Both Amerix and Eagle anticipate the completion of the definitive agreement shortly.

Private Placement of Amerix

Amerix intends to complete a "best efforts" private placement offering (the "Amerix Offering") of up to 12,000,000 "flow-through" subscription receipts of Amerix (the "Subscription Receipts") at a price of $0.10 per Subscription Receipt (the "Issue Price"). Each Subscription Receipt will be exercisable into one post-Consolidation (as defined below) common share of the Resulting Issuer (as defined below) to be issued on a "flow-through" basis (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) (each, a "FT Share" and, collectively, the "FT Shares") upon the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions (as defined below). Closing of the Amerix Offering is expected to occur on or about November 4, 2014 or such later date as agreed between Amerix and the Agent (as defined below) and is subject to customary conditions and regulatory approval, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"). All securities issued under the Amerix Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day from the date of the closing of the Amerix Offering.

The gross proceeds of the Amerix Offering will be held in escrow (the "Escrowed Proceeds") pending satisfaction of the escrow release conditions (the "Escrow Release Conditions"). The Escrow Release Conditions for the Amerix Offering will be the completion of the Transaction, which is subject to a number of conditions including the receipt of conditional approval for trading on the TSXV in respect of the Resulting Issuer Shares (as hereinafter defined) ultimately underlying the Subscription Receipts. Upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions, each Subscription Receipt will be automatically exercised into one FT Share, and the Escrowed Proceeds shall be released to the Resulting Issuer from escrow. Assuming satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions, the proceeds of the Amerix Offering will be used for exploration expenditures by the Resulting Issuer, which will constitute Canadian exploration expenses (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) and will be renounced in respect of the 2014 taxation year.

In the event that the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied on or before 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on December 31, 2014 (the "Escrow Deadline"), the unexercised Subscription Receipts will immediately become null, void and of no further force or effect and, as soon as reasonably possible, and in any event within five (5) business days following the Escrow Deadline, the Escrowed Proceeds shall be distributed to the holders of Subscription Receipts such that each purchaser will receive an amount equal to the aggregate Issue Price for such purchaser's unexercised Subscription Receipts without interest or deduction.

The Amerix Offering is being made on a best efforts agency basis by Canaccord Genuity Corp. (the "Agent"). The Issue Price of the Subscription Receipts was determined by negotiation between the Company and the Agent. In consideration for its services, the Agent shall receive a cash commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of the Amerix Offering, as well as broker warrants to purchase that number of Resulting Issuer Shares that equals 7% of the number of Subscription Receipts issued pursuant to the Amerix Offering at the Issue Price for a period of 24 months from closing of the Amerix Offering.

In connection with the Transaction, Amerix will, effective immediately prior to the completion of the Transaction, consolidate its outstanding common shares on the basis of twenty (20) old shares for one (1) new share (the "Consolidation"). For greater clarity, the FT Shares issuable upon exercise of the Subscription Receipts are the post-Consolidation shares of the Resulting Issuer (the "Resulting Issuer Shares").

Private Placement of Eagle

In connection with the Transaction and concurrent with the Amerix Offering, Eagle proposes to complete a "best efforts" private placement offering (the "Eagle Offering") of up to 50,000,000 subscription receipts of Eagle (the "Eagle Subscription Receipts") (and up to 70,000,000 Eagle Subscription Receipts if the over-allotment option is exercised in full) at a price of $0.10 per Eagle Subscription Receipt. Each Eagle Subscription Receipt will be exercisable into one unit of Eagle (each, a "Unit") upon the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions.

The Escrow Release Conditions for the Eagle Offering will include (a) the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent to the Transaction in accordance with the terms of the definitive agreement in connection with the Transaction; (b) the receipt of conditional approval for the Transaction from the TSXV, including the listing of the Resulting Issuer Shares issued and issuable under the Eagle Offering; (c) Eagle not being in breach or default of any of its covenants or obligations under the agency agreement entered into in connection with the Eagle Offering in any material respect except those breaches or defaults that have been cured by Eagle or waived by the Agent; (d) the Transaction being completed (other than the business combination taking effect) on substantially the terms which the Agent approved prior to the closing of the Eagle Offering (unless otherwise agreed by the Agent); and (e) no "material change" has occurred in respect of Eagle or the Resulting Issuer.

Each Unit will consist of one common share of Eagle (each, an "Eagle Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, an "Eagle Warrant"). Each Eagle Warrant will be exercisable by the holder thereof to acquire one Eagle Share at a price of $0.15 per share for a period of 60 months following the exercise of the Eagle Subscription Receipts. The Eagle Shares and Eagle Warrants will be exchanged on a one-for-one basis for Resulting Issuer Shares and common share purchase warrants of the Resulting Issuer, respectively, on the same economic terms, upon the completion of the Transaction. The net proceeds of the Eagle Offering are anticipated to be used for ongoing exploration and development of Eagle's Black Crystal graphite project and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

In connection with the Transaction, Eagle will, effective immediately prior to the completion of the Transaction, split its outstanding common shares on the basis of one (1) old share for twenty (20) new shares (the "Stock Split"). For greater clarity, the Eagle Shares partially underlying the Units issuable upon exercise of the Eagle Subscription Receipts are the post-Stock Split shares of Eagle.
