Apollo Silver Corp. (‘ Apollo Silver ‘ or the ‘ Company ‘) (TSX.V:APGO, OTCQB:APGOF, Frankfurt:6ZF0) is pleased to announce that due to strong investor demand from current shareholders, the Company has elected to increase the size of its previously announced non-brokered private placement offering and will now offer up to 7,437,680 (the ‘ Units ‘) of the Company at a price of $3.60 per Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $26,775,648 (the ‘ Upsized Offering ‘).

Each Unit issued pursuant to the Upsized Offering will consist of one common share (a ‘ Share ‘) in the capital of the Company and one common Share purchase warrant (a ‘ Warrant ‘). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Share at an exercise price of $5.50 for 24 months from the closing date of the Offering. The Warrants will be subject to an acceleration provision, such that if at any time after the date that is four months and one day after the closing, the Company’s Shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (the ‘ TSXV ‘) at a closing price of $7.50 or greater per Share for a period of ten (10) consecutive trading days, the Company may accelerate the expiry of the Warrants by giving notice to the holders thereof and, in such case, the Warrant will expire on the thirtieth (30th) day after the date of such notice (the ‘ Acceleration Provision ‘)

All securities issued in connection with the Upsized Offering will be subject to a four-month hold period from the date of closing. Finder’s fees may be payable on some or all of the funds raised, in accordance with the policies of the TSXV. The Company intends on using the net proceeds from the Upsized Offering to continue advancing the Calico Silver Project in San Bernardino, California; to support community relations initiatives at Cinco de Mayo Silver Project in Chihuahua, Mexico; to cover ongoing property maintenance costs at both projects; and for general corporate purposes.

Closing of the Upsized Offering is subject to final regulatory approval including that of the TSXV.

Insider Participation

The Upsized Offering will include participation by certain insiders of the Company, which constitutes a ‘related party transaction’ under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (‘MI 61-101’). The issuance of securities to insiders will be exempt from the formal valuation requirement pursuant to section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101, as the Company’s shares are not listed on a specified market, and from the minority shareholder approval requirement pursuant to section 5.7(a) of MI 61-101, as the fair market value of the securities issued to related parties does not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

The Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the ‘ U.S. Securities Act ‘), or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration under the U.S. Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws or compliance with the requirements of an applicable exemption therefrom. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in the United States, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
