Canadian Silver Hunter Completes $40,000 Non-Brokered Private Placement

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Oct. 3, 2013) - Canadian Silver Hunter Inc. ("CSH") (TSX VENTURE:AGH) is pleased to announce that yesterday it completed a non-brokered private placement financing of 400,000 common shares of CSH (each, a "Common Share") issued on a flow-through basis at a price of $0.10 per Common Share for gross proceeds of $40,000 (the "Offering").

The securities issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period until February 3, 2014. CSH will use the net proceeds from the Offering to fund continued exploration on its South Lorrain Project.

The participation in the Offering by certain "related parties" of CSH constitutes a "related party transaction" as such terms are defined by Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), requiring CSH, in the absence of exemptions, to obtain a formal valuation for, and minority shareholder approval of, the "related party transaction". Mr. Jeffrey Hunter, CSH's President and CEO, subscribed for 200,000 Common Shares for proceeds for $20,000 under the Offering, representing just over 1% of the total number of Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Offering. As of the completion of the Offering, Mr. Hunter now holds, controls or directs, directly or indirectly, 5,301,000 Common Shares representing approximately 27.8% of the outstanding Common Shares on a post-transaction basis. Mr. Carmelo Marrelli, CSH's CFO, subscribed for 100,000 Common Shares for proceeds of $10,000 under the Offering, representing just over 0.5% of the total number of Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Offering. As of the completion of the Offering, Mr. Marrelli now holds, controls or directs, directly or indirectly, 210,000 Common Shares representing approximately 1.1% of the outstanding Common Shares on a post-transaction basis. CSH is relying on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements under MI 61-101 pursuant to which a formal valuation and minority approval are not required because at the time the Offering was agreed to, neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the participation in the Offering by Messrs. Hunter and Marrelli exceeded 25% of CSH's market capitalization. The participation by each of Messrs. Hunter and Marrelli in the Offering was approved by the independent directors of CSH. It was not practicable for CSH to previously disclose the participation in the Offering by insiders of CSH earlier, as the level of participation was not known to CSH until immediately prior to closing.
