PX Pelangio Exploration Inc

Pelangio Exploration Inc. (TSX-V:PX) (OTC PINK:PGXPF) (“Pelangio” or the “Company”) announces a non-brokered private placement of up to 10,000,000 units of the Company at a price of $0.05 per unit for gross proceeds of up to $500,000 (the “Private Placement”). Each unit consists of one common share of the Company (a “Common Share”) and one Common Share purchase warrant (“Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.07 for a period of three years from the initial closing date of the Private Placement (each closing date, a “Closing Date”). In the event that the Common Shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange at a volume weighted-average price of $0.14 or more per Common Share for any period of at least ten consecutive trading days after the initial Closing Date, the Company shall be entitled to accelerate the expiry time of the Warrants to a date that is at least thirty days from the date that written notice of such acceleration is provided to the holders of the Warrants by way of news release, with the new expiry time specified in such notice.

The closing of the Private Placement may occur in one or more tranches, with the initial Closing Date of the Private Placement expected to occur on or before July 31, 2017, and is not subject to receipt of a minimum amount of gross proceeds. The Company may pay finder’s fees of 8% cash and 8% warrants to certain introducing parties in respect of the Private Placement, subject to compliance with applicable securities legislation and TSX Venture Exchange policies. Closing is subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals. The securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement, will be subject to a four-month hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. Certain directors and/or officers of the Company, including Ingrid Hibbard, President and CEO of the Company, are expected to participate in the Private Placement for a total of up to 2,500,000 units.

The Private Placement will permit participation, up to the maximum amount of gross proceeds to be raised under the Private Placement, of existing shareholders of the Company who held Common Shares as of July 5, 2017 (the “Record Date”) and who continue to hold such Common Shares as of the Closing Date, pursuant to the existing security holders prospectus exemption available under OSC Rule 45-501 - Ontario Prospectus and Registration Exemptions and equivalent provisions of other applicable securities laws (the “Existing Shareholder Exemption”) to residents in such jurisdictions where the use of such exemption is not prohibited. Investors relying on the Existing Shareholder Exemption will be required to represent in writing certain requirements of the Existing Shareholder Exemption, including that they were as of the Record Date and they continue to be as of the Closing Date a shareholder of the Company. The aggregate acquisition cost to an investor relying on the Existing Shareholder Exemption cannot exceed $15,000, unless that shareholder has obtained advice regarding suitability of the investment from a registered investment dealer in the investor’s jurisdiction. The minimum subscription amount for investors relying on the Existing Shareholder Exemption is $5,000. If you are an existing shareholder of the Company as of the Record Date who is interested in participating in the Private Placement, you should contact the Company by email at info@pelangio.com or by telephone at 905-336-3828. The Company will fill subscriptions from investors on a first come, first served basis wherein the subscribers who are first to submit a duly completed subscription agreement with payment of the corresponding subscription proceeds will have their subscription filled first. Additionally, in the event of an imbalance of large subscriptions compared to smaller subscriptions, management reserves the right in its discretion to reduce large subscriptions in favour of smaller ones.

In the event that the maximum amount of $500,000 in gross proceeds is raised, it is anticipated that $300,000 of the funds raised will be used to begin the planned $2,000,000 multi‐phase exploration program on the Manfo property, targeting the existing mineralized structures and the newly identified belt bounding structures. The objectives of this program are to locate new mineralized zones, follow up on discovery areas and carry out limited resource development. This program is expected to test approximately 40 target areas utilizing air core, rotary air blast, reverse circulation drilling and diamond drilling. It is anticipated that the $300,000 used to begin the multi-phase exploration program on the Manfo property will be used for limited air core and rotary air blast drilling on a few target areas, with the remainder of the maximum amount of $500,000 in gross proceeds to be used for working capital purposes.
