(CSE: TTX – FSE: DW8 – OTCQB: TTLXF) (“Tantalex” or the “Corporation”), is pleased to announce a first tranche closing of a non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of USD$1,700,000 (the “Private Placement”). The Corporation has issued 65,479,142 common shares (the “Common Shares”) at a price of $0.035 per Common Share of the Corporation. The Common Shares were issued based on an exchange rate of USD$1.00 = CDN$1.3481. The Corporation did not pay any finder’s fees on a portion of the Private Placement.
