QMX Gold Agrees to Extend the Closing on the Sale of the Snow Lake Property

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - July 7, 2014) - QMX Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE:QMX) ("QMX" or the "Company") and Northern Sun Mining Corp. ("Northern Sun") have agreed to an extension of the closing of the proposed acquisition by Northern Sun of the Snow Lake property, detailed in the press release dated October 2, 2013. The closing is now expected to occur on or before September 30, 2014.

In connection with the extension of the sale of Snow Lake, QMX is negotiating with Third Eye Capital ("TEC") to extend the existing bridge loan facility to September 30, 2014. As a condition of the extension of the bridge loan facility, TEC requires that QMX sell a block of 7 million escrowed and free trading shares (together, the "Shares") held by QMX in Falco Pacific Resource Group Inc. ("Falco Pacific") in order to reduce the principal and interest outstanding on the bridge loan facility.

A bidding process for the block of shares was held and QMX has entered into an agreement with 2425134 Ontario Inc. (a privately owned company) to sell the block for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,583,000, reflecting the highest bid price that was received for the block.

Currently there are 3.85 million Shares that are free trading and have will be sold at a price of $0.45 per share. The remaining 3.15 million Shares are subject to an escrow agreement in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange and will be sold at a price of $0.27 per share. The sale of the escrowed Shares escrow remains subject to the TSX Venture Exchange approval and should the TSX Venture not provide approval on the sale of the escrowed Shares, QMX will proceed with the sale of the free trading shares.

The Falco Pacific shares were issued to QMX Gold at a deemed price of $0.25 as partial consideration in connection with the sale of the 100%-owned base metals camp in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec to Falco Pacific in September 2012.

QMX Gold received a $200,000 deposit on the signing of the agreement with 2425134 Ontario Inc. and the remainder will be received at the end of the month, upon receipt of necessary approvals from the TSX Venture Exchange. The closing of the sale of Snow Lake also remains subject to a number of conditions, including without limitation, receipt all necessary government and regulatory approvals in Canada and China, completion of due diligence, and Northern Sun securing the financing necessary to complete the acquisition.
