Robex Announces a Credit Facility and a Private Placement

Robex Ressources Inc. ("Robex" or "the Company") (TSX
VENTURE:RBX)(FRANKFURT:RB4) is pleased to announce that the board of directors
has approved an agreement in principle to conclude a subscription agreement (the
"Subscription Agreement") with African Peak Trading House Limited (the "Trading
House") to finance its capitalization by an aggregate amount of CDN$15,000,000
contemplated to take place on or about May 29, 2014 which will also change the
Company's international corporate structure. The Trading House will subsequently
enter into a CDN$15,000,000 senior non-revolving credit facility through a
secured Gold Stream Credit Agreement ("Gold Loan") with the Company's subsidiary
Nampala S.A. ("Nampala") to support and finance the capital expenditures for
production at the gold mine in Moussala, Nampala, Mali (the "Mine"). 


On April 3, 2014, the Company announced the completion of the construction of
phase 1 of the Mine. In anticipation of upcoming completion of the Mine and the
beginning of its production phase, the Company will change its international
corporate structure, with a purpose of improving the Company's return on
investment and restructuring its indebtedness.


The Company will make a subscription in the capital of the Trading House to fund
its operations, as further described hereunder. The required subscription
capital of CDN$15,000,000 will originate from a short term advance, without
interest, made by Georges Cohen, president and CEO, and a significant
shareholder of the Company. The Trading House will in turn offer secured
financing to Nampala to restructure its intercompany indebtedness, finance the
capital expenditures for the completion and operation of the Mine, support its
production phase and for working capital purposes. Nampala will refund the
Company a portion of its amount owing of CDN$15,000,000, representing a portion
of the advances made by Company for the construction of the Mine. The Company
will use these funds to reimburse the short term advance of CDN$15,000,000 made
by Georges Cohen to implement the Subscription Agreement.


Under the terms of the Subscription Agreement, the Company will purchase 1,000
Common Shares and 15,000,000 Class B Shares of the Trading House, respectively,
at CDN $1.00 per share in a private placement (the "Trading House Private
Placement"). 


On February 28, 2014, the GII Trust was registered in Gibraltar and was created
pursuant to a trust deed dated February 17, 2014. The GII Trust will subscribe
to 1,000,000 Class A shares of the Trading House at CDN$0.001 per Class A share
("Class A Shares") (the "Trust Private Placement"). The Class A Shares will
confer voting rights to the GII Trust and the legal control of the Trading
House. The Class A Shares are entitled to a preferential discretionary dividend
up to CDN$0.05 per Class A Share (CDN$50,000 in the aggregate) per year. 


The Trading House Private Placement is a related party. The Company is relying
on exemptions provided under sections 5.5 and 5.7 of Regulation 61-101
respecting Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions.


Following the Trading House Private Placement, Company will own all the issued
and outstanding Common Shares and all the issued and outstanding Class B Shares
of the Trading House. The Company will continue to own its shares in Nampala.
The GII Trust will own 1,000,000 Class A Shares of Trading House. 


The Trading House will use the subscription proceeds from the Trading House
Private Placement to establish, in favour of Nampala, a CDN$15,000,000 senior
non revolving credit facility by way of the Gold Loan. The proceeds from the
Gold Loan will be used by the Company to the restructure its intercompany
indebtedness, fund capital expenditures for the construction and operation of
the Mine and for working capital purposes. Under the Gold Loan, Nampala will
deliver to the Trading House all of the dore bars extracted from the Mine over a
ten years period, in payment of the capital and interest owed under the Gold
Loan. The Trading House will sell the dore bars on the international open market
and distribute its profits by way of intercompany dividends to the Company.
Nampala will be a guarantor under the Gold Loan and will also enter into
security agreements to grant liens on its properties and assets to the Trading
House in order to secure its obligations under the Gold Loan. 


Mr. Cohen stated: "Due to the unstable situation in the North of Mali, it is
considered a high risk country with the consequence that medium and long term
debts are priced accordingly. By structuring a gold loan, Robex was able to
secure long term financing even in spite of the situation in the North of Mali.
This provides us with more flexibility to expand and grow our operations in
Mali".
