Canamax Announces Addition of Flow-Through Shares to Private Placement Financing and Increased Bank Credit Facilities in Conjunction With Acquisition of Greater Grimshaw Assets

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - June 23, 2015) -

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OR DISTRIBUTION TO ANY UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES

Canamax Energy Ltd. ("Canamax" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CAC) is pleased to announce the following:

Private Placement Financing

The terms of the previously announced $15 million Private Placement Financing (the "Private Placement Financing") have been amended to include the issuance of up to 1.6 million common shares of Canamax on a "flow-through" basis pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada) in respect of Canadian development expenses (the "CDE FT Shares") at a price of $0.65 per CDE FT Share. The gross proceeds of up to $1.04 million realized from the CDE FT Share offering would constitute a portion of the $15 million. Canamax anticipates closing the Private Placement Financing on or about July 9, 2015.

Increased Facility

The Company's lender has approved an increase in Canamax's operating loan facility from $10 million to $21 million (the "Increased Facility") pending completion of the previously announced $24 million Greater Grimshaw asset acquisition (the "Asset Acquisition"). The Increased Facility is conditional upon the closing of the Asset Acquisition and other customary conditions. Any draw by the Company on the Increased Facility prior to the closing of the recently announced business combination with Powder Mountain Energy Ltd. is conditional upon the Company receiving proceeds of at least $14 million from the Private Placement Financing.

About Canamax

Canamax is a Montney oil focused junior oil and gas company with its core assets located in the Greater Grimshaw area of Northwestern Alberta.

Caution Respecting BOE

The term barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE") may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of 6 Mcf:1 Bbl and an Mcfe conversion ratio of 1 Bbl:6 Mcf are based on an approximate energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Since the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency conversion ratio of 6:1, utilizing a conversion based on a 6:1 ratio is misleading as an indication of value.
