VANCOUVER, BC -- February 24, 2010 - IBC Advanced Alloys Corp.
(TSX.V:IB) ("IBC" or the "Company") announces that it has filed an
amended and restated preliminary short-form prospectus (the "Amended
Preliminary Prospectus") with securities regulatory authorities in the
provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario in connection with
a best efforts offering of units (the "Units") of IBC (the "Offering")
to raise gross proceeds of up to C$8,500,000, subject to a 15%
over-allotment option.
The Offering will be led by Union Securities
Ltd.
and Pope & Company Limited (collectively, the "Agents").
Each Unit will be priced at C$0.17 and will consist of one common share
of IBC and one-half of one common share purchase warrant exercisable at
C$0.25 (each whole warrant, a "Warrant").
Each Warrant will entitle the
holder to purchase one common share of IBC for a period of 24 months
(subject to acceleration) following the date of closing of the
Offering, which is scheduled to occur on or before March 12, 2010.
For
their services rendered in connection with the Offering, the Agents
will receive a cash commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds raised
under the Offering and broker warrants exercisable to acquire that
number of units of the Company, having the same terms as the Units, at
a price of $0.17 per unit as is equal to 7% of the total number of
Units sold under the Offering, at any time until the date which is 24
months after the closing of the Offering.
The amount of the offering
has been increased from C$8,000,000 to C$8,500,000 due to investor
interest and to ensure compliance with the terms of the Beralcast
Corporation acquisition agreement.
The net proceeds from the Offering will be used to fund the announced
acquisition of Beralcast Corporation, new business development
initiatives, further exploration of mineral properties and for general
working capital purposes, all as more particularly described in the
Amended Preliminary Prospectus.
The Offering is subject to certain
conditions including, but not limited to, the execution of a definitive
agency agreement with the Agents and the receipt of all necessary
approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the
applicable securities regulatory authorities.
