Vancouver, BC — October 3, 2013 — Agave Silver Corp. (formerly Cream Minerals Ltd.) (TSX-V: AGV) (“Agave” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce the following:
- Effective as of October 3, 2013, the Company completed a share consolidation on the basis of ten (10) pre-consolidation common shares for one (1) post-consolidation common share;
- The Company has changed its name from “Cream Minerals Ltd.” to “Agave Silver Corp.”, and the Company’s stock symbol for its TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) listing has been changed from “CMA” to “AGV”. The post-consolidated common shares of the Company has been assigned the new CUSIP number 008427106 (ISIN CA0084271067);
- The Company closed the first tranche of a non-brokered private placement of units (“Units”) of the Company previously announced on August 29, 2013 (the “Private Placement”) at a price of $0.10 per Unit by issuing an aggregate of 6,000,000 Units for gross proceeds of $600,000 (the “First Tranche Closing”). Each Unit is comprised of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant (“Warrant”), each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.25 for a term of two years after the closing of the Private Placement; and
- Michael O’Connor has stepped down as President and CEO of the Company, and Ronald Lang has been appointed as new President and CEO.
Shareholders of the Company will be receiving a letter of transmittal from Computershare Investor Services Inc. to enable them to exchange their old share certificates for new share certificates representing the post-consolidated common shares under the Company’s new name.
The First Tranche Closing represents the minimum level of subscription for the Private Placement and was subscribed by certain insiders of the Company. Frank Lang, a significant shareholder of the Company and its former Chairman, indirectly subscribed for an aggregate of 4,000,000 Units under the First Tranche Closing. Mr. Lang now directly and indirectly holds approximately 6,658,362 post-consolidation common shares of the Company representing approximately 30.9% of the Company’s issued and outstanding post-consolidation common shares on an undiluted basis. Ronald Lang, CEO, President and a director of the Company, and Ferdinand Holcapek, an executive officer of the Company’s Mexican subsidiary, each subscribed for 1,000,000 Units under the First Tranche Closing.
The common shares comprising a part of the Units issued under the First Tranche Closing of the Private Placement, and the common shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants, will be subject to a four-month hold period which will expire on February 4, 2014.
The proceeds of the Private Placement will be used for exploration and development of the Company’s mineral property portfolio and for the Company’s general operating expenses. The Company anticipates closing a second and further tranche of the Private Placement on or before mid-October 2013. The Private Placement is subject to the final approval of the TSX-V.
This news release has been issued concurrent with the First Tranche Closing and less than 21 days before the closing of the Private Placement as the subscriptions by certain insiders of the Company were only determined recently and contractual arrangements were not entered into until just prior to the closing date.
