Aston Bay Holdings (BAY-V) July 11, '16 is pleased to announce that it has received conditional acceptance from the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) for a non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”) with two investment funds managed by Mackenzie Investments (“Mackenzie”). The funds managed by Mackenzie collectively subscribed for 4,000,000 common shares of the Company at a price of $0.45 per share, for gross proceeds of $1,800,000. The Offering is scheduled to close today.

Following closing of the Offering, four separate funds managed by Mackenzie will collectively hold 8,900,0000 shares of the Company, which is approximately 15.1% of the total issued and outstanding shares. The shares issued in the Offering will be subject to a hold period until November 12, 2016, in accordance with applicable securities legislation.

“The proceeds from this financing will give the Company added strategic flexibility to move forward well into 2017 following the results from Aston Bay’s continuing summer 2016 drilling program,” said Benjamin Cox, President and CEO of Aston Bay.

The Exchange has also conditionally approved the payment of finder’s fees of $81,000 to Red Cloud Klondike Strike Inc. (“Red Cloud KS”), which originally introduced Mackenzie to the Company. Red Cloud KS acted as Aston Bay’s strategic advisor in connection with the Offering. Red Cloud KS is a ‘new concept’ capital markets advisory firm dedicated solely to the mining sector.

Proceeds of this Offering will be used for general corporate purposes.
