Benz Capital Corp. (TSX VENTURE:BZ) (the "Corporation" or "Benz") announced that it has signed further amending agreements (collectively, the "Amending Agreement") with Tusk Exploration Ltd., a private British Columbia company ("Tusk") for the option to acquire a 100% interest (the "Transaction") in the San Javier Copper Project (the "Property"), located approximately two hours driving time east of the capital city of Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico, and immediately adjacent to Mexican Highway 16 and near the village of San Javier, Sonora.

Transaction Overview

The Amending Agreement gives Benz an additional 30 day period (by Nov 30, 2014) to obtain all necessary approvals and close the Transaction. If the approvals are not obtained by (1) November 30, 2014, Benz shall pay Tusk $50,000 and issue to Tusk 200,000 common shares, or (2) January 31, 2015, Benz shall pay Tusk $75,000 and issue to Tusk 300,000 common shares, in which case the Definitive Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until April 30, 2015, following which either Party may terminate it.

The terms of the Amending Agreement provide for an aggregate purchase price of $9.2 million comprised of a cash payment of $4.7 million payable in installments ($200,000 on or before July 15, 2014 and $2.25 million on or before each of January 2, 2018 and 2019), and the issuance of such number of Benz common shares (the "Consideration Shares") having a value equal to C$4.5 million at a deemed price per Consideration Share equal to the lesser of $0.50 and the price per common share in a private placement to be completed by Benz on or before November 30, 2014.

The Amending Agreement now provides that the option to acquire the Property shall be earned in three stages, as opposed to the two stages previously. The payment of $200,000 on or before July 15, 2014, that has been paid, and the issuance of Consideration Shares on or before the date that is five business days following November 30, 2014 will grant Benz a 30% interest in the Property. The cash payment of $2.25 million on or before January 2, 2018 will grant Benz an additional 30% interest in the Property, with the final payment of $2.25 million on or before January 2, 2019 granting Benz the remaining 40% interest, for a 100% interest in the Property.

Upon issuance, the Consideration Shares will be restricted from trading and certificates for the Consideration Shares will bear legends providing for such restrictions on trading until the earlier of (i) the dates and in the amounts as follows:

Legend Expiry Date	Percentage of Consideration Shares Released
October 31, 2015	16.67%
October 31, 2016	16.67%
October 31, 2017	16.67%
October 31, 2018	50.00%

and (ii) the date Tusk's shareholdings in Benz decrease to below 20% as a result of dilution.

The Transaction is subject to requisite regulatory approval, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") and standard closing conditions, including, approval of the shareholders of Benz, if required.

"Terms of the Amending Agreement will provide Benz with the opportunity to obtain required approvals, avoid contract extensions and additional payments, and maintain a modest and conservative share structure during the current market conditions," said Miloje Vicentijevic, President and CEO of Benz.

In connection with the Transaction, Benz announces a non-brokered private placement of up to 300,000 units at a price of $0.50 per unit, totaling gross proceeds of up to $150,000. Each unit will consist of one common share of Benz and one share purchase warrant (the "Warrants"), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one additional common share at a price of $0.55 per share for a period of five years.

Proceeds from the financing will be used for San Javier project payment obligations and general corporate purposes. No commission or finder's fees will be payable in connection with this private placement.

The private placement financing is also subject to approval of the Exchange.

Closing of the Transaction is expected to complete by November 30, 2014. There can be no assurances the Transaction or the private placement financing will close, or close upon the terms currently contemplated.
