ANNOUNCES PRIVATE PLACEMENT TO EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS and OTHER INVESTORS
Toronto, Ontario – July 6, 2017: Rosita Mining Corp. (“RMC” or the “Company”) (TSXV-RST) has arranged a non-brokered private-placement offering for total gross proceeds of up to $1,200,000. Pursuant to the offering, RMC will issue a total of up to 40 million common shares at a price of three cents per common share.
RMC plans to seek a discretionary waiver from the five-cent minimum pricing requirement by the TSX Venture Exchange pursuant to the TSX-V bulletin dated April 7, 2014. There is no assurance that the TSX-V will approve this financing. A finder’s fee may be paid by the Company, in connection with the offering, in accordance with the policies of the TSX-V.
The offering is open, subject to certain limitations discussed as follows, to existing shareholders of the Company who, at the close of business on July 5, 2017, held common shares of the Company (and who continue to hold common shares of the Company at the time of closing of the offering), pursuant to the prospectus exemption set out in Multilateral CSA Notice 45-313, and the various corresponding blanket orders and rules of participating jurisdictions (the existing shareholder exemption is not available in Ontario or Newfoundland and Labrador). The total acquisition cost to a subscriber under the existing shareholder exemption cannot exceed $15,000 unless that subscriber has obtained advice from a registered investment dealer regarding the suitability of the investment. There is a minimum subscription amount of $9,000. Any existing shareholder interested in participating in the offering should contact the Company.
If subscriptions received for the offering based on all available exemptions exceed the maximum offering amount of $1,200,000, subscriptions will be accepted at the discretion of the Company, such that it is possible that a subscription received from a shareholder may not be accepted by the Company if the offering is oversubscribed. In accordance with the existing shareholder exemption, the Company confirms there is no material fact or material change related to the Company which has not been generally disclosed.
Existing shareholders of the Company are directed to contact the Company for further information concerning subscription for shares pursuant to the existing shareholder exemption, as follows.

In addition to using the existing shareholder exemption, the offering will also be conducted pursuant to other available prospectus exemptions, including sales to accredited investors, as well as family members, close friends and business associates of directors and officers of the Company.
