Defiance Announces Closing of $1.2M in Private Placement
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Sep 15, 2017) - Defiance Silver Corp. ("Defiance" or "Company") (TSX VENTURE:DEF)
(OTC:DNCVF), an emerging silver explorer currently advancing the San Acacio Silver Deposit in Zacatecas, Mexico, is pleased to
announce that it is closing on a first tranche of $1,254,000 of a non-brokered private placement consisting of up to 7,000,000
units at a price of $0.30 per unit for gross proceeds of up to $2,100,000 (the "Offering"). Each unit consists of one common
share and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire an additional common share
of Defiance for a period of twenty-four (24) months at an exercise price of $0.45. The securities issued under the Offering will
be subject to a four month hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. The warrants are subject to an
acceleration clause such that if the closing price of the Company's shares on the TSX Venture Exchange is at or above $0.65 per
share for a period of ten consecutive trading days during the term of the warrants, the Company may accelerate the expiry date of
the Warrants to not less than 30 days following the date of notice.
The funds raised in this financing will be used to advance its San Acacio Silver Deposit, currently totaling 17,961,000 silver
equivalent ounces at a silver equivalent grade of 192.50 g/t Ag, contained within a zone 1.2km in length and to a depth of 175m.
Use of proceeds will be used to commence a drill program and follow up on encouraging drill results to date which continue to
expand the mineralization at depth and along strike, and most importantly outside the limits of the current resource. Defiance
recently intercepted wide zones of mineralization returning 27 metres grading 203 g/t silver equivalent (see the Press Release
dated June 8, 2017), and will be
releasing results from an additional five holes shortly. Defiance's exploration drill results are not included in the current
resource.
"We are very pleased and would like thank our shareholders, insiders and management in participating and securing the funds to
advance the San Acacio Silver Deposit in becoming a premier silver asset in Zacatecas, Mexico" said Roy Bonnell, CEO of Defiance
Silver. "With long term drill permits in place, we can look to commence our next phase of drilling to continue to grow the
resource, but also test several targets along the 900m strike extension to the southeast"
Closing of the Offering is subject to receipt of all the required regulatory approvals including the approval of the TSX
Venture Exchange. The Company may pay finder's fees in compliance with TSX Venture Exchange policies on some or all of the
Offering.
