(TSX VENTURE:GRA.H) (the "Corporation") is pleased to announce the completion of the previously announced three-cornered amalgamation involving Graniz Mondal Inc., Group NanoXplore Inc. and 9363-0770 Québec Inc. which constituted a reverse takeover of Graniz Mondal Inc. under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Transaction").
Pursuant to the Transaction, the Corporation consolidated its share capital on a 15:1 basis and changed its name to "NanoXplore Inc.".
As previously announced, Group NanoXplore Inc. completed on August 2, 2017 a private placement of subscription receipts for gross proceeds of approximately $9.7 million (the "Private Placement"). In connection with the Transaction, each subscription receipt was ultimately converted into one common share and one-half common share purchase warrant of the Corporation. For additional information about the Private Placement, please refer to the press release dated August 4, 2017 which has been filed on the Corporation's profile on SEDAR.
The holders of Group NanoXplore Inc.'s shares (including those investors under the Private Placement) received one common share of the Corporation in exchange for each outstanding Group NanoXplore Inc. common share.
As part of the Transaction, the Corporation also issued 755,556 common shares at a deemed value of $0.45 per common share (post-consolidation) as settlement for debts and the Corporation disposed of its option to acquire a 75% interest in the Mousseau West property, in exchange for which it was granted a release for money owed in connection thereof.
The Corporation also issued an aggregate of 115,556 common shares at a deemed value of $0.45 per common share (post-consolidation) to certain advisors pursuant to finder's fee agreements and following the receipt of shareholders' approval at the annual and special shareholders meeting of the Corporation held on August 11, 2017.

Of these New Options, 53,335 are considered reissued (the "Reissued Options") as they were issued to the same individuals with an exercise price lower than that of the original options. The expiry dates of the Reissued Options remain unchanged.
There are currently 80,738,356 common shares of the Corporation outstanding following completion of the Transaction and the Private Placement.
