VANCOUVER, BC – September 19th, 2011 – IBC Advanced Alloys Corp. (TSX.V:IB) (“IBC” or the “Company”) has withdrawn its recently announced planned short-form prospectus financing. This decision was taken by the Company and its investment banking advisors, Euro Pacific Canada Inc., who believe that any financing at current indicated pricing would not be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
“The primary use of proceeds of the Offering was to pay down existing debt and strengthen IBC’s balance sheet,” said Anthony Dutton, President and CEO of IBC Advanced Alloys. “However, IBC’s management, board and advisors concluded that recent irregular trading activity and the resulting drop in share price does not represent a fair and reasonable value for the Company. We have consistently demonstrated,” continued Dutton,” that we have a strong and growing company with enormous potential. Any financings the Company may entertain will only be done in this context and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.”
As previously disclosed, the Company successfully completed a gross $8m prospectus financing in June 2011. The Company is currently allocating this capital in accordance with the use of proceeds contained in the prospectus filed June 14, 2011 and is fully funded well into 2012.
