CALGARY, ALBERTA–(Marketwired – June 26, 2014) – Kallisto Energy Corp. (TSX VENTURE:KEC) (“Kallisto” or the “Company“) announces that it intends apply to the TSX Venture Exchange for approval to complete a non-brokered private placement of up to 14,285,714 Flow Through Common Shares (the “Flow Through Shares“) at a price of $0.07 per Flow Through Share for gross proceeds of up to $1,000,000 with a minimum offering of $500,000. It is expected that insiders of the Company will subscribe for up to 25% of the private placement. The gross proceeds from the sale of the Flow Through Shares will be used to fund ongoing development activities eligible for Canadian development expenses (“CDE“), which will be renounced in favour of the subscribers of the Flow Through Shares effective on or before December 31, 2014.
The Company also announces that at its recent annual general meeting, shareholders of the Company overwhelmingly approved a resolution providing advance shareholder approval for the Company, subject to regulatory approval and in compliance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange, to enter into one or more distributions of securities during the next twelve month period through financings or corporate transactions (the “Transactions“) that may result in a change of control of the Company or the creation of a new “control person”.
Kallisto is currently holding discussions with individual and corporate entities in connection with securing the funding necessary to finance the Company’s 2014 – 2015 development drilling program. Management felt that it was prudent to secure the necessary shareholder approval in advance of agreements to complete one or more of the Transactions.
Kallisto has a diversified asset base with abundant near term development drilling opportunities, including:
- Cardium light oil at Minnehik – Buck Lake and Harmatton, Alberta;
- Elkton light oil and Lower Mannville liquids-rich gas at Crossfield, Alberta; and
- Doe Creek light oil at Valhalla, Alberta.
Kallisto is targeting to spend up to $9.0 million on these opportunities in 2014 and 2015. To complete the development drilling program, Kallisto will require additional sources of capital. Such additional capital may come through: joint venture or farm-out agreements; disposition of non-core infrastructure assets; additional equity financing; or corporate transactions.
The Company is completing the sale of certain non-core assets in an effort to partially fund its development program:
- Preparation of closing documents is in the final stages on the sale of an infrastructure asset in the Crossfield, Alberta area. Closing of this sale is expected to occur in Q3 2013; and
- The Company has signed a letter of intent to dispose of its Dawson oil transportation pipeline. Negotiations on the final terms of the transaction are ongoing. Closing of this sale is expected to occur before the end of 2014.
Net proceeds from these asset sales are expected to total $4.5 million.
Kallisto also announces that an updated corporate presentation has been posted on the Company’s website at www.kallistoenergy.com.
Kallisto is a Calgary-based junior resource company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas, primarily in Alberta.
