Quinsam Monthly Update for June 2014 and AGM Results

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - July 7, 2014) -

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISTRIBUTION BY ANY UNITED STATES NEWS DISTRIBUTION

Quinsam Capital Corporation (CSE:QCA) ("Quinsam" or the "Company") today provided an update on activities for June 2014 and announced results from the recent annual meeting.

Quinsam invested in three companies in June 2014.

We purchased shares in Terravest Capital Inc. Terravest is high-yielding, EBITDA-oriented merchant bank with strong exposure to the western Canadian economy. We think that the company has room for both multiple expansion and EBITDA growth.

We bought a position in Tuscany Energy Ltd. We see Tuscany as an attractively-valued junior oil producer. The stock was up over 20% from our cost as of the end of the month.

We took a small position in Moly Mines Limited after it announced that it would be delisting from the TSX. Many investors would not consider investing in this company just as it was about to be delisted; however, we saw it as a very attractive opportunity for a patient investor. Moly Mines is now in essence a shell company with an extremely large cash balance. No doubt the delisting announcement caused many investors to sell and as result the shares traded down to approximately 1/3 of the company's cash value. Our expectation is that Moly Mines will acquire assets and relist in the fullness of time. We believe that when this happens our decision to buy at 1/3 of cash will be rewarded.

In addition to these purchases, Quinsam was presented with an interesting opportunity to acquire in-the-money warrants of Atico Mining Corporation. We were already investors in Atico and we saw the opportunity to buy in-the-money warrants at approximately intrinsic value as being very attractive. We sold our shares in Atico and more than tripled our upside exposure through the purchase of the warrants. At the same time, we took nearly half of our total investment in Atico off the table.

Performance Update

Quinsam would also like to take this opportunity to update investors on the Company's recent performance.

The Company closed the month at the highest portfolio value recorded since the Company's new business strategy was implemented in November 2013. As at the end of June 2014, the unaudited total value of the Quinsam's cash and equity investments was approximately $1.9 million, compared with a value of $1.8 million at the end of May 2014.

Another leg in our business strategy is the accumulation of purchase warrants. We are pleased to report Quinsam now holds approximately 1.8 million warrants with an aggregate basic exercise value of over $900,000. The exercise value is not an indication of the economic value of the warrants; we provide it to investors so they can understand the amount of upside leverage that we are accumulating through our warrant portfolio. As at the end of June, the carrying value on our books of our warrant portfolio was $49,000, which was wholly attributable to the recently purchased Atico warrants.

Annual Meeting Results

Quinsam held its annual meeting on June 26, 2014. A total of 12,011,630 common shares were represented at the meeting which constituted 50.52% of the outstanding shares. At the meeting, all resolutions were passed unanimously as shareholders voted 100% in favour of all resolutions with none against or withheld.
