Euromax Resources Ltd. Announces Non-Brokered Private Placement to the European Bank of Reconstruction

Euromax is also pleased to announce that it has also entered into definitive transaction documentation for a convertible loan of C$5.2 million, as the first tranche of a proposed investment of up to US$30 million and a strategic alliance with CC Mining S.A. ("CCM") which is related to Consolidated Contractors Company Group ("CCC Group"), as previously announced on 8 April 2016.

Euromax also announces the appointment of Peel Hunt LLP as its European Broker. The appointment will encompass working in collaboration with the Company's brokers in North America to support an intensive marketing programme over the coming year aimed at raising awareness of the Company and the Ilovica Project.

EBRD Convertible Loan

Under the Convertible Loan Agreement, the EBRD has agreed, subject to receipt of Shareholder Consent (as defined below) that it will fund US$5 million (the "Principal Amount") in the form of a convertible loan (the "EBRD Convertible Loan"). The EBRD Convertible Loan has a stated maturity of 30 April 2018, or if earlier, upon an equity raise by Euromax of an agreed amount. Upon maturity of the EBRD Convertible Loan, in addition to repayment of the Principal Amount, Euromax will be required to pay an amount of approximately US$1.4 million (the "Redemption Amount"). The EBRD Convertible Loan also contains provisions whereby, in the event that the Company has not secured sufficient financing commitments for the construction and development of the Ilovica Project by 31 December 2016, a fee of US$0.15 million (the "Fee") will become payable and interest will accrue on the loan from 1 January 2017 until maturity at an annual rate of 3 month LIBOR plus 7% per annum ("Interest").

The EBRD Convertible Loan will be convertible in whole or in part at any time following disbursement, at the election of EBRD; the Principal Amount will be convertible at C$0.40 per share whereas the Redemption Amount, as well as, if applicable, the Fee and Interest, will be convertible at the lower of (i) the market price of the shares of the Company on the last day prior to EBRD serving a conversion notice; and (ii) the 20-day volume weighted average price of the common shares preceding such date, in each case discounted as permitted by the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") and subject to TSX-V acceptance. Conversion of any part of the Principal Amount, the Redemption Amount, the Interest and the Fee will always remain at EBRD's full discretion subject to the above provisions and any necessary TSX-V approvals.

Disbursement of the EBRD Convertible Loan is conditional on, amongst other things, receipt of written consent by no later than 30 June 2016 from the holders of at least 50% of the outstanding common shares of the Company, (the "Shares") other than those shares held by EBRD, with respect to the terms of the Convertible Loan Agreement, and for EBRD to become a "control person" (as defined under the rules of the TSX-V, the "Shareholder Consent").

Assuming a disbursement date of 1 July 2016, a maturity date of 30 April 2018, a conversion by EBRD of all of the Principal Amount, Redemption Amount, and, if applicable, the Fee and the Interest accrued to maturity, a conversion price for all amounts under the Convertible Loan Agreement of C$0.40 per share, and using a Bank of Canada noon rate on 27 April 2016, EBRD would acquire ownership and control over a total of 22,444,242 common shares of Euromax, representing 16.11% of the issued and outstanding common shares. Immediately following such a conversion, together with the common shares of the Company already owned by EBRD and assuming conversion of the warrants of the Company held by EBRD, EBRD would have ownership and control over 51,727,789 common shares of Euromax, representing 35.62% of the issued and outstanding common shares.

The EBRD, One Exchange Square, London, EC2A 2JN. United Kingdom, is entering into the Convertible Loan for investment purposes. Depending on market conditions and other factors, the EBRD may from time to time acquire and/or dispose of securities of Euromax or continue to hold its current position. A copy of the early warning report required to be filed with the applicable securities commissions in connection with this transaction will be available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and can be obtained by contacting Ulmas Musaliev at +44 207 338 7224.

CCC Investment and Strategic Relationship

• Euromax has also entered into definitive transaction documentation with CCM, an entity related to the CCC Group in respect of the first tranche of the proposed investment of up to US$30 million, as previously announced on 8 April 2016 . The Primary Convertible Loan Tranche, (as defined below), will encompass a C$ 5.2 million subscription by CCM for a convertible debenture to be issued by the Company (the "Primary Convertible Loan Tranche"). The Primary Convertible Loan Tranche will have a maturity of 30 April 2018 and may be converted into common shares of Euromax at a price of C$0.40 per share. The Primary Convertible Loan Tranche will bear interest at a rate 9% per annum.
  
  

Upon subscription of the Primary Convertible Loan Tranche and for so long as CCM beneficially owns more than 5% of the outstanding Euromax common shares (and for these purposes, any remaining portion of the Convertible Loan then outstanding will be deemed to have been converted in full into common shares pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Loan):

• CCM shall be entitled to nominate a director to the board of Euromax (subject to such nominee satisfying the qualification requirements under the TSX-V and Euromax's governing statute and articles and being approved by the board and shareholders of Euromax); and
  
  
• CCM shall also be entitled to appoint a member to the Euromax Technical Committee to assist in the front-end-engineering design process and the development of the Project.
  
  

Use of Proceeds

The proceeds of the EBRD Convertible Loan and the CCM Primary Convertible Loan Tranche will be used to fund pre-development work, including feasibility, capex, optimisation and the preparation of the front-end engineering design ("FEED").

Conditions and Closing

The EBRD investment and the CCC investment are subject to approval of the TSX-V and satisfaction of customary closing conditions. All securities issued pursuant to the private placements described herein will be subject to a four month hold period from the date of issue.
