TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Dec. 18, 2014) -
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
Amerix Precious Metals Corporation (TSX VENTURE:APM) ("Amerix" or the "Company") and Eagle Graphite Corporation ("Eagle") are pleased to announce that they have closed the second tranche of previously announced private placements of subscription receipts, led by Canaccord Genuity Corp. (the "Agent"). Eagle issued a total of 2,600,000 subscription receipts at a price of CDN$0.10 for gross proceeds of $260,000 (the "Eagle Offering") and Amerix issued a total of 100,000 subscription receipts at a price of CDN$0.10 (the "Issue Price") for gross proceeds of $10,000 (the "Amerix Offering").
The proceeds of the private placements will be held in escrow pending the satisfaction of the escrow release conditions as set out in the Amerix press release dated November 5, 2014. Assuming satisfaction of the escrow release conditions, the proceeds of the Amerix Offering will be used for exploration expenditures by the Resulting Issuer (as defined below), which will constitute Canadian exploration expenses (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) and will be renounced in respect of the Company's 2014 taxation year. The proceeds of the Eagle Offering will be used to process Eagle's stockpiled graphite material and to quarry and process additional graphite material in order to the meet the delivery requirements pursuant to the graphite off-take agreement (the "Off-take Agreement") between Eagle and ANH Refractories Company ("ANH").
Pursuant to the terms of the Off-take Agreement, Eagle is required to make periodic deliveries to ANH of an aggregate of 720 metric tonnes prior to December 31, 2015 as follows:
January 31, 2015 - 60 metric tonnes
March 31, 2015 - an additional 60 metric tonnes
June 30, 2015 - an additional 100 metric tonnes
September 30, 2015 - an additional 200 metric tonnes
December 31, 2015 - an additional 300 metric tonnes
The processing costs of the current graphite stockpiles in addition to the quarrying and processing costs of the other graphite contained material required to meet Eagle's obligations under the Off-take Agreement until December 31, 2015 is estimated to be approximately $255,000.
In consideration for its services, the Agent received a cash commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of the Eagle Offering and the Amerix Offering, as well as broker warrants to purchase an aggregate of 189,000 Resulting Issuer Shares, representing 7% of the number of subscription receipts issued pursuant to the Amerix Offering and Eagle Offering at the Issue Price for a period of 24 months. The cash commission and broker warrants are being held in escrow pending satisfaction of the escrow release conditions.
As previously announced, on November 5, 2014, Amerix, Eagle, and a subsidiary of Amerix ("Amerix Subco") entered into an amalgamation agreement (the "Definitive Agreement"). Subject to regulatory and other approvals which may be required and the satisfaction of other conditions contained in the Definitive Agreement, the merger will occur via a "reverse takeover" under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"). Pursuant to the terms of the Definitive Agreement, Amerix Subco will amalgamate with Eagle, and all outstanding securities of Eagle will be exchanged, on a one-for-one basis, for securities of the Resulting Issuer (the "Transaction"). Any outstanding convertible securities of Eagle, including the warrants of Eagle partially comprising the units underlying the subscription receipts issued pursuant to the Eagle Offering, will be exchanged for convertible securities of Amerix (the "Resulting Issuer") on similar economic terms. It is anticipated that the Resulting Issuer will change its name to "Eagle Graphite Incorporated" upon completion of the Transaction.
On closing of the Transaction, Latitude Minerals Inc. ("Latitude"), a company controlled (as to approximately 63%) by Jamie Deith, the proposed Chief Executive Officer of the Resulting Issuer, will own approximately 74% of the Resulting Issuer. The principal shareholders of Latitude are as follows:
Jamie Deith (and related trust) - 63%
Sinan Akdeniz (and related trust) - 26%
Joanne Akdeniz - 9%
The Transaction has been conditionally approved by the TSXV. It is anticipated that the common shares of the Resulting Issuer will be listed on Tier 2 of the TSXV under the trading symbol "EGA" and will commence trading in early January, 2015, subject to satisfaction of the listing conditions and final acceptance of the Transaction by the TSXV.
As a result of the closing of the second tranche of each of the Eagle Offering and the Amerix Offering, the Company wishes to update certain disclosure contained in the joint management information circular of Amerix and Eagle dated November 25, 2014 prepared in connection with the Transaction (the "Information Circular").

Eagle Graphite Corporation
Notes to Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements As at August 31, 2014
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of Amerix Precious Metals Corporation ("Amerix") and Eagle Graphite Corporation ("Eagle") has been prepared by management to reflect the proposed transactions (the "Transaction") as described in Note 2.
The pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared from information derived from and should be read in conjunction with the following:
1. The audited financial statements of Amerix as at July 31, 2014.
2. The unaudited condensed interim financial statements of Eagle as at and for the three month period ending August 31, 2014.
3. The audited financial statements of Eagle as at May 31, 2014.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of Eagle and Amerix has been presented assuming the Transaction had been completed on August 31, 2014. The pro forma statement of loss for Eagle for the twelve months ended August 31, 2014 has been reconciled by adjusting the statement of loss for the year ended May 31, 2014 for the three months ended August 31, 2013 and adding the three months ended August 31, 2014.
The Transaction has been accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2, Share Based-Payments. The Transaction is considered to be a reverse takeover of Amerix by Eagle. A reverse takeover transaction involving a non-public operating entity public company is in substance a share-based payment transaction, rather than a business combination. The transaction is equivalent to the issuance of shares by the non-public operating entity, Eagle, for the net assets and the listing status of the public company, Amerix. The fair value of the shares issued was determined based on the fair value of the common shares issued by Eagle.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management, and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for fair presentation. No adjustments have been made to reflect additional costs or cost savings that could result from the combination of the operations of Eagle and Amerix, as management does not anticipate any material costs or cost savings as a result of the Transaction.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements have been prepared for illustration purposes only and may not be indicative of the combined results or financial position had the Transaction been in effect at the date and for the period indicated.
On November 5, 2014, Amerix announced that it has entered into a definitive amalgamation agreement (the "Amalgamation Agreement") dated November 5, 2014 with Eagle, pursuant to which Eagle will, subject to a number of conditions, become a wholly owned subsidiary of Amerix, which will change its name to Eagle Graphite Corporation (the "Resulting Issuer").
