Argex Titanium Inc. (TSX:RGX) ("Argex" or the "Corporation"), Argex announces that as a consequence of recent market activity and conditions, it will not be proceed with the offering of Units under short form prospectus disclosed in its press release dated June 1st, 2015.

As of June 10th, 2015, Argex had a balance of cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1 825 Million. Argex shall implement a new budgetary plan that includes cost cutting measures such as termination of employees, reductions in salaries and suspension of research and development activities allowing available funds to be specifically allocated to value creating activities. Argex is also considering its alternatives with respect to some or all of its mineral claims as an additional cost saving measure.

Argex is actively discussing with several strategic partners to source the financing it needs to continue its objectives. Argex plans to leverage its assets in place, which includes a strong technology that produces high quality product, an industry leading projected cost structure, extensive due diligence packages endorsed by leading investors and lenders and supportive industry partners.

Argex will continue to seek additional financing for the Front End Engineering and Design (the "FEED/FEL3") for the construction of Argex's first commercially sized TiO2 plant in Valleyfield, Quebec. The Corporation also intends to pursue other strategic alternatives such as joint ventures and licenses instead of (or in parallel to) building its own facility. A royalty, service and technology transfer model is applicable especially in the case of the multi-plant opportunities and moves the corporation closer to revenues. There can be no assurance that Argex will be successful in its efforts in that respect.

"Argex intends to advance toward a complete solution for strategic investors willing to enter or grow market share in the TiO2 industry. The completion of the FEED/FEL3 remains a valuable tool in this respect. Always having in mind value creation for its shareholders, we believe that the decisions taken today were necessary to achieve our goal", commented Roy Bonnell, President and CEO of Argex.
