Roger Dent and Quinsam Capital Corporation (CSE:QCA) advise that on May 29, 2015, Roger Dent acquired direct ownership of 1,000,000 units (each unit consisting of one common share and one warrant) of Newlox Gold Ventures Corp. (CSE:LUX) at a price of $0.05 per unit. After giving effect to the purchase of units on May 29, 2015, Roger Dent owns, in the aggregate, 1,170,000 Newlox shares, representing approximately 2.4% of the Newlox shares outstanding.
In addition, Quinsam Capital Corp. (CSE:QCA), a public company of which Mr. Dent is CEO, owns $132,830 of Newlox convertible debentures, 500,000 Newlox shares and 3,000,000 Newlox warrants. Quinsam Capital Corp. and Roger Dent may be considered to be joint actors. The joint actors beneficially own, directly or indirectly, or exercise control or direction over, an aggregate of 1,670,000 Newlox Shares, representing approximately 3.4% of the Newlox shares issued and outstanding as at the date of this news release. On a partially diluted basis, assuming the exercise of all warrants and convertible debentures, the joint actors have the potential to own or control an aggregate of 6,990,300 Newlox shares, which would represent 12.9% of the shares on a partially diluted basis.
"We think that Newlox represents a very interesting investment opportunity," said Roger Dent, CEO of Quinsam Capital Corp. "Quinsam had a full position in Newlox so at this time it does not wish to acquire additional shares. However Newlox desired a very modest amount of cash to complete the commissioning of its gold mill in Costa Rica so I participated in this round, which was on the same terms as the last financing by Newlox."
Roger Dent and Quinsam Capital Corp. acquired the Newlox shares for investment purposes, and have no current intention to increase the beneficial ownership of, or control or direction over, securities of Newlox. These investments will be reviewed on a continuing basis and holdings may be increased or decreased in the future.
