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

CALGARY, March 20, 2014 /CNW/ - Boxxer Gold Corp. (BXX-TSXV/OTC-BXXRF) (the "Company", or "Boxxer"): Further to a news release issued on January 30, 2014, Boxxer is pleased to announce that it has entered into a subscription agreement (the "Subscription Agreement") with Key Venture Capital Inc. ("Key"), a capital pool company, in relation to the participation by Key in a maximum $130,000 financing of Boxxer (the "Private Placement").  Pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement, Key will purchase a minimum of 2,400,000 units ($120,000) and a maximum of 2,600,000 units ($130,000) of Boxxer (the "Boxxer Units") at a price of $0.05 per Boxxer Unit.  Key intends that the Private Placement and subsequent Distribution and Dissolution (as described January 30, 2014 news release) will constitute Key's "Qualifying Transaction" pursuant to Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").  Pursuant to the Private Placement, each Boxxer Unit shall consist of one common share and one transferable share purchase warrant (a "Warrant").  Each Warrant shall be exercisable for five years at $0.05 per share and is subject to accelerated expiry provisions such that if at any time after the completion of the Private Placement the closing price of the common shares of Boxxer on the TSXV is at least $0.10 per share for 15 consecutive days, Boxxer may give notice that each Warrant will expire 15 business days from the date of providing such notice.

Boxxer also announces that Key has filed on SEDAR its information circular dated March 10, 2014 (the "Circular") in relation to the proposed Qualifying Transaction of Key and the proposed Private Placement.  For further information on the proposed Qualifying Transaction of Key and the proposed Private Placement, please see Boxxer's news release dated January 30, 2014 and the Circular.

Boxxer is also pleased to announce that it has conditionally appointed Sophia Leung, the Chief Executive Officer and a director of Key, to the Board of Directors of Boxxer with such appointment to be conditional upon, and only effective upon, the closing of the Private Placement and the subsequent Distribution and Dissolution.  Ms. Leung will only be appointed to the Board of Directors of Boxxer if the Private Placement closes and the Distribution and the Dissolution occur.

Sophia Leung is a Member of the Order of Canada, and the Chief Executive Officer and a director of Key.  Ms. Leung obtained a Bachelor of Science at the University of Pittsburgh, U.S.A. in 1957 and a Masters Degree from the University of British Columbia in 1966.  She has focused her career in community development and public services as a member of Parliament in the House of Commons from 1997 to 2004.  Ms. Leung serves as a director of GLG Life Tech Corp. (since 2007), a public company which supplies high grade stevia extracts, a natural, zero-calorie sweetener used in food and beverages.

The closing of the proposed Qualifying Transaction of Key, and as a result, the Private Placement, Distribution, Dissolution and the appointment of Ms. Leung to the Board of Directors of Boxxer, are subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to, the receipt of all requisite regulatory approvals, including final TSXV acceptance of the Key Qualifying Transaction, and the approval of Key's shareholders.  The TSXV's final acceptance of the Qualifying Transaction will be conditional upon, among other things, the receipt of majority of minority Key shareholder approval of the Qualifying Transaction, Key shareholder approval of the Distribution and Key shareholder approval of the Dissolution.  The proposed Qualified Transaction cannot close until the required Key shareholder approvals are obtained.  There can be no assurance that the Key Qualifying Transaction, and as a result, the Private Placement, Distribution, Dissolution and the appointment of Ms. Leung to the Board of Directors of Boxxer, will be completed as proposed or at all.
