Adventus Mining Corporation (" Adventus " or the " Company ") (TSXV: ADZN) (OTCQX: ADVZF) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with 2176423 Ontario Ltd., a private company controlled by Eric Sprott to sell 17,336,339 common shares (the "Shares") of Canstar Resources Inc. ("Canstar") (TSXV: ROX) (OTCQB: CSRNF) at a price of $0.375 per Share for gross proceeds to Adventus in the amount of $6,501,127.12 (collectively, the "Sale Transaction").
Christian Kargl-Simard , President and CEO of Adventus commented, "We are excited at the ongoing momentum and success Canstar is having in Newfoundland, Canada , but must continue to focus on advancing and de-risking our core copper-gold business in Ecuador . We are pleased to have found an investor as renowned as Eric Sprott to purchase our Canstar stake with a longer-term vision for the business. As this ownership stake was non-core, the funds will go towards incremental exploration and development expenditures in Ecuador as well as general working capital and corporate purposes."
