Today 63X announces that it has now acquired ownership and control of 8,810,500 common shares of Ventana in a purchase made through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange. The common shares purchased by 63X represent in aggregate approximately 10.2% of the 86,600,131 issued and outstanding common shares of Ventana.

As a result of this acquisition of common shares, 63X now exercises ownership and control over a total of 8,810,500 common shares of Ventana, representing approximately 10.2% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Ventana as noted above. 63X paid cash consideration of C$4.0921 per share of Ventana, for aggregate consideration of approximately C$36,053,447.

The share acquisition by 63X was made for investment purposes only. 63X may, in the future, acquire ownership and control over additional securities of Ventana for investment purposes.
