KELOWNA, BC, Aug. 1, 2019 /CNW/ - Cantex Mine Development Corp. (the "Corporation" or "Cantex") (TSX-V: CD) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Canaccord Genuity Corp. and Leede Jones Gable Inc. (the "Underwriters") in connection with a "bought deal" private placement of an aggregate of 1,588,000 common shares of the Corporation that will qualify as "flow-through shares" (within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) ("Flow-Through Shares") for aggregate gross proceeds of C$10 million (the "Offering"). In connection with the Offering; (i) 921,000 Flow-Through Shares will be issued as part of a charity arrangement at an issue price of C$6.52 per Flow-Through Share (the "Charity Issue Price") for gross proceeds of C$6,004,920; and (ii) 667,000 Flow-Through Shares will be issued at C$6.00 per Flow-Through Share (the "FT Issue Price") for gross proceeds of C$4,002,000.

In addition, the Underwriters have been granted an option to sell up to that number of an additional Flow-Through Shares at the Charity Issue Price and/or the FT Issue Price for additional gross proceeds of up to C$2,000,000.

The gross proceeds from the Offering will be used by the Corporation to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that will qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" as such terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Qualifying Expenditures") related to the Corporation's projects in Canada. All Qualifying Expenditures will be renounced in favour of the subscribers of the Flow-Through Shares effective December 31, 2019.

The Offering is expected to close on or about August 22, 2019 and is subject to certain closing conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals including the conditional listing approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the applicable securities regulatory authorities. The Offering is being made by way of private placement in Canada. The securities issued under the Offering will be subject to a hold period in Canada expiring four months and one day from the closing date of the Offering. The Offering is subject to final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The Underwriters will receive a cash commission equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the sale of the Flow-Through Shares, payable on Closing to the Underwriters (other than in respect of sales of Flow-Through Shares to those persons on the "Presidents List" on which the fee shall be 3%).

Q: Hi Everyone at 5i! I am in the process of reducing the number of holdings in my US portfolio . I own several related to healthcare. I just recently sold off my JNJ at a profit. I am under water on CAH and WBA. I propose to sell CAH and WBA at a capital loss to offset my gain on JNJ. I intend to keep MDT. Does this seem reasonable to you?. Cheers, Tamara

Q: Good morning 5i,
In the interests of simplifying my financial affairs for those who may have to look after them at some point, I have been moving in the direction of efts in my rif accounts on the US side. Up to this point I haven't considered doing the same for Canadian stocks, for two reasons: One is the capital gains that must be paid, as they are in a taxable account for the most part. Second, because of the fear that Canadian efts, like the Canadian economy, concentrate on only a few sectors. I thought, therefore, that I could simply make up my own etf out of individual companies that I buy. I can see, though, that one could suffer a real loss if one of these blew up, something like SNC Lavelan, which had previously been a staple in Canadian portfolios until recently. Also, there is the difficulty of managing these stocks by someone else, not used to doing so. I could approach it over a number of years to avoid some of the capital gain problem. So, I was wondering what you thought of this move in general? Also,I would appreciate your view on the relative dangers of holding Canadian efts? Which Canadian efts would be the best, general market or more focused? Appreciate greatly your reflections on this question.

Q: So if I have $70,000 in my TFSA and it is recommended as a general rule no more than 3 percent in one company, does that mean I should buy only 6O shares for example of Lightspeed? The stock has to go up $10 just to make $600 bucks.

Q: In one of the articles you suggested (can't remember which one), they were discussing correlations between stocks, sectors and assets. I find it an interesting way of further analyzing a portfolio. Could 5i someday provide correlation matrices for its different portfolios? Would be interesting to have a peak at it. Thank you very much

Q: Allo/Hello,
There is a cease trade order since May1st on WAYLAND Group (WAYL) because of late financial statements. Why is this canadian company stock allowed to be negociated on OTC in US$? (MRRCF). It happened to me in the past but my broker refused to trade in the US, even if some holders said on blogs that they were doing it. The $US stock is down more than 50% since May . Not fair, but may be legal ... Thanks.

Q: hello 5i:
could you give me your opinion on incorporating BTAL into a portfolio and/or the strengths/weaknesses of such a strategy? Can you compare it with something like SH (ProShares Short S&P500)?

Q: As a retiree who wants a diversified portfolio and also someone who spends a couple of months a year in the US, I certainly see the value in having say 25-30% of my holdings in US stocks. When the Loonie moves up and down this gives me some peace of mind because my US investments aren’t affected and I can relax and enjoy my time down there. My question relates to the Portfolio Analytics recommendation that I also hold 30% of my holdings outside of Canada/US. Sure, it provides more diversification, but I don’t see nearly as strong a case as for holding 30% in US. My instincts tell me to hold about 60% Canadian, 30% US and 10% Rest of World. Your answer may simply be that diversification is a “personal choice”, but I’m hoping you can go a bit deeper and explain how your holdings should relate to where you spend your money. For example, what if I spent a few months per year in Mexico, Asia or Europe, instead of the US? Thanks for the great service!
Alan
