Canasil Arranges Mailing of Information Circular and Proxies for Special Meeting of Shareholders for Proposed Spin-off of B.C. Properties to Canmine Minerals Inc.
November 20, 2017
Vancouver, November 20, 2017 - Canasil Resources Inc. (TSX-V: CLZ, DB Frankfurt: 3CC, “Canasil” or the “Company”) announces that it has arranged mailing of the Information Circular and Proxies for the Special Meeting of Shareholders planned for December 12, 2017, to consider the spin-off transaction to segregate its British Columbia properties into a separate company, Canmine Minerals Inc. (“Canmine”), as previously announced on July 26 and October 24, 2017. Shareholders of Canasil will receive shares of Canmine in proportion to their shareholdings of Canasil, and Canasil will continue to hold its Mexican assets. It is proposed that the transaction will be carried out as a Plan of Arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). Complete details of the proposed transaction are set out in the Information Circular and voting proxies, which have been mailed to shareholders and are also available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) and on the Company’s website (www.canasil.com). The transaction is subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.
The transaction is intended to unlock value for Canasil shareholders by allowing the market to independently value the British Columbia properties, and by providing greater flexibility to arrange funding to actively advance exploration programs on these properties.
The consideration for the transfer of the BC Properties will be based on the issuance of common shares of Canmine, which will be distributed to Canasil shareholders based on one share of Canmine for each two shares of Canasil held, following approval of the transaction and other required procedures. Warrant holders and Option holders of Canasil will receive warrants or options of Canmine which are proportionate to, and commensurate with the terms of, their existing Canasil warrants or options.
