NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

MONTREAL, June 30, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - Argex Titanium Inc. (TSX: RGX) ("Argex" or the "Corporation") announced today that it has closed a brokered private placement ("Private Placement") of unsecured convertible debentures of the Corporation ("Debentures"), for gross proceeds of $7.5 million. Euro Pacific Canada Inc. (the "Agent") acted as the lead agent and sole bookrunner for the Private Placement.

Roy Bonnell, President and CEO of Argex commented, "I am very pleased that we were able to close this Private Placement quickly and efficiently. The funds raised in this financing will propel the Corporation to the next level. Of significance, a majority of Argex Board members participated in this Private Placement and we are highly encouraged by the support of our largest shareholder who invested $2 million."

The rate of interest on the Debentures is 8% per annum. Interest on the Debentures shall be paid quarterly in arrears from September 30, 2014 and thereafter at the end of each quarter and on the maturity date, which is June 30, 2019 (the "Maturity Date").

The Debentures are convertible into common shares of the Corporation ("Common Shares") until the Maturity Date at the option of the debenture holder at a conversion price of $1.14 per Common Share (the "Conversion Price"); this represents a conversion rate of approximately 877 Common Shares per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures. The Corporation will use its best efforts to list the Debentures on the Toronto Stock Exchange after expiration of the four-month hold period, on October 31st, 2014.

In connection with this Private Placement of Debentures, the Corporation paid the Agent, a cash commission of $243,250. No warrants or broker warrants were issued in connection with this Private Placement. The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used for the due diligence costs associated with the Corporation's financing of its first industrial-sized commercial production facility to be located in Valleyfield, Quebec and for general working capital purposes.

As previously announced on June 18, 2014, certain insiders of the Corporation participated in the Private Placement and subscribed for an aggregate principal amount of $2,080,000 of Debentures. Participation of insiders of the Corporation in the Private Placement constitutes a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (Regulation 61-101 respecting Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions in Quebec) ("MI 61-101"). The Private Placement is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of securities being issued to insiders nor the consideration being paid by insiders will exceed 25% of the Corporation's market capitalization. The Corporation did not file a material change report 21 days prior to the closing of the Private Placement as the details of the participation of insiders of the Corporation had not been confirmed at that time.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in the "United States", as such term is defined in Regulation S under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"). The securities have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration requirements is available.
