MONTREAL, MONTREAL -- (Marketwired) -- 04/07/15 -- NovX21 Inc. (TSX VENTURE: NOV) announces that it is undertaking a private placement (the "Offering") for a minimum of 1,000 units of the Company (the "Units") and a maximum of 2,500 units at a unit price of $1,000 resulting in maximum gross proceeds of $2,500,000.

The net proceeds from the Offering will be used to complete the financing of a new commercial plant for the recovery of precious metals of the Platinum Group (Platinum, Palladium and Rhodium or PGMs) in Thetford Mines, Quebec, as well as for general corporate purposes.

Mr. Jack Lifton, consultant to NovX21 and an internationally renowned expert in the field of technology metals (precious metals and rare earth metals) will be meeting investors during the private placement roadshow. Jack Lifton has confirmed the validity and efficiency of the technological process of NovX21 for more than two years as a consultant for the Company.

"It was the first time in my long career as a researcher and executive in the OEM automotive supply industry that I encountered an industrial-scale non-smelting process for extracting precious metals of the platinum group without equipment corrosion or chlorine leaks. I look forward to meeting investors and expressing my confidence in the NovX21 technology and its multiple commercial applications", says Jack Lifton.

Each Unit is comprised of a four year 8% unsecured convertible subordinated debenture in the principal amount of $1,000 (the "Debentures") and 5,000 Share Purchase Warrants (the "Warrants") of the Company.

Each Debenture is convertible at the option of the holder into common shares of NOV (the "Common Shares") at any time starting after the closing date and prior to the close of business on the last business day prior to the Maturity Date at a conversion price of $ 0.10 per Common Share for the first and second year, $ 0.11 for the third year, and $ 0.121 for the fourth year (the "Conversion Prices"), being at a rate of approximately 10,000 Common Shares for the first and second year, 9,090.9 Common Shares for the third, and 8,264.46 Common Shares for the fourth year, per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Each Warrant allows the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at $ 0.20 for a period of 36 months from the closing date.

The Maturity Date of the Debentures is March 31, 2019, 4 years after its issuance bearing 8% interest per year, payable in equal semi-annual cash installments on May 31 and November 30, commencing May 31, 2016.

Common Shares issued as a result of conversion of the debentures within the first four months after the closing date are subject to a hold period ending four months after the closing date.

The Company has retained Jones Gable & Company Limited as Agent, based on a commercially reasonable efforts basis. The Agent will receive 10% of gross proceeds as cash commission as well as a number of warrants equal to 10% of the gross proceeds divided by $0.10. Each broker warrant will be exercisable for 24 months at $0.20 per share.

The closing date of the Offering is expected to be on or about May 7, 2015. The Offering is subject to several conditions including regulatory approvals including that of the TSX Venture Exchange.
