Adventus Mining Corporation (TSX-V: 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 of Canstar Resources Inc. (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.

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.”
