03.02.2012 | Marketwire
THIS PRESS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES.WINNIPEG, MANITOBA -- (Marketwire - Feb. 3, 2012) - George Pirie, President and CEO of San Gold Corporation (“San Gold“) (TSX: SGR) and Dale Ginn, CEO of SGX Resources Inc. (“SGX“) (TSX VENTURE: SXR), are pleased to announce that San Gold and SGX have reached an initial agreement for SGX to purchase all of the interests of San Gold in its mineral properties in Tisdale Township, in the Timmins, Ontario mining camp in consideration of the issuance of 8,060,000 common shares of SGX (“SGX Shares“) at a deemed price of $0.50 per SGX Share to San Gold (the “Transaction“). SGX and San Gold anticipate entering into a formal purchase agreement with respect to the Transaction in the near future.
The Tisdale Township properties consist of a 31.5% ownership in 12 mineral claims known as the “Davidson-Tisdale Property“ and a 100% interest in 15 mineral claims known as the “North Tisdale Property“ as well as certain surface rights (collectively, the “Properties“). The remaining 68.5% of the Davidson-Tisdale Property is owned by Lexam VG Gold Inc. San Gold initially acquired the Properties from Laurion Mineral Exploration Inc. in January, 2010, but has not undertaken any exploration or development work on the Properties since that date.
The Transaction is a “related party transaction“ for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101“). San Gold and SGX are each relying on an exemption from the minority approval and formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101 due to the fact that the value of the Properties does not represent greater than 25% of the market capitalization of either San Gold or SGX.
Upon closing of the Transaction, the number of SGX Shares owned by San Gold will increase from 26,646,256 to 34,706,256. The percentage of SGX Shares owned by San Gold will increase from 33.36% to 39.49%.
SGX anticipates that the closing of the Transaction will take place in the next few weeks. The Transaction is subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
