Argex Completes Non-Brokered Private Placement

/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

MONTREAL, Sept. 18, 2015 /CNW Telbec/ - Argex Titanium Inc. (TSX: RGX) ("Argex") is pleased to announce that it has completed a non-brokered private placement financing for aggregate gross proceeds of $650,000 (the "Offering") with funds managed by Marquest Asset Management. As part of the Offering, 1,200,000 hard-dollar units (the "HD Units") were sold at a price of $0.125 per HD Unit for gross proceeds of $150,000, and 4,000,000 flow-through units (the "FT Units") were sold at a price of $0.125 per FT Unit for gross proceeds of $500,000.

Argex owns titanium bearing mining claims on the north shore of the St-Lawrence River in Quebec. Argex believes that these claims represent important assets to the company and that by performing minimal and targeted exploration work, these assets can be developed and/or monetized in the short term.

"This placement is part of the necessary groundwork required to implement the financial support required to achieve Argex's value-added goals", said Roy Bonnell, President and Chief Executive Officer.

"In the context of today's depressed TiO₂ market and based on ongoing discussions with industry producers, it gives me great confidence that the Argex value proposition of more profitable and environmentally-friendly TiO₂ production is an attractive proposition for them," added Mr. Bonnell. "Over the last two months, we have successfully streamlined our operations and have been working diligently to achieve the goals that we have set-out," added Mr. Bonnell.

Each HD Unit is comprised of (i) a common share of Argex; and (ii) a common share purchase warrant entitling its holder to acquire one common share of Argex at a price of $0.15 per share until September 18, 2017 (the "Warrants"). Each FT Unit is comprised of (i) a common share issued on a "flow-through" basis pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada); and (ii) one half Warrant. The net proceeds of the Offering will be used for exploration expenditures, general corporate and working capital purposes.

Argex has paid a $39,000 finder's fee and has issued 312,000 Warrants to Secutor Capital Management for its services rendered in connection with the Offering.

Securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a four-month plus one day statutory hold period from their date of issuance. The Toronto Stock Exchange has conditionally approved the Offering.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities in any jurisdiction.
