NSGold Corporation Starts Process to Split Gold and Silver Assets

13.07.2011  |  CNW
- NSGold intends to distribute shares of NSX Silver Inc. to NSGold shareholders

- NSX Silver Inc. to hold Dios Padre and other Mexican silver properties


VANCOUVER, July 13, 2011 - NSGold Corporation (TSXV: NSX) is pleased to announce that it has started the process to separate its Nova Scotia assets (gold, base metals and rare earths) and Mexican assets (silver) into two separate public companies.

NSGold's intention is to distribute to its shareholders, on a share-for-share basis, all of the shares of a newly-incorporated company, NSX Silver Inc., which will indirectly hold NSGold's Mexican silver properties, including the Dios Padre property. NSGold Corporation will continue to own its Nova Scotia gold, base metal and rare earth exploration properties. After the share distribution, it is not expected that NSGold will hold any shares of NSX Silver.

It is expected that the Board of Directors and management team at both companies initially will be identical, with overheads and cash expected to be split equally between the two companies.


Hans van Hoof, Chairman and CEO of NSGold, explains the rationale behind the process:

"Although value is the only driver, it is not just our short-term valuation that played a role in our decision to split our assets into two separate public companies.

"The valuation of our company seems to reflect only our cash position and either our Mooseland property in Nova Scotia or our Dios Padre property in Mexico, but not both. This in turn makes it more difficult to execute corporate transactions while getting full value for all of our assets. In addition, some of our shareholders are very gold focussed and others silver focussed. This way, by splitting NSGold into two public companies, everyone gets their assets and can manage them accordingly.

"I know the potential downside for splits like this one - it is the risk that you create two smaller companies with their own overhead, illiquidity, etc. In our case, I am confident that both companies have a strong value potential, given the exciting expansion opportunities in both areas."


The final details of the proposed transaction, including the record date for the share distribution, have yet to be determined and will be announced by NSGold as soon as practicable. The proposed transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including the entering into of a definitive agreement between NSGold and NSX Silver Inc. for the transfer of the assets, and regulatory approval, including that of the TSX Venture Exchange. NSGold expects that the proposed transaction will be completed by the end of September 2011, at an estimated one-time cost of $100,000 to $125,000.

NSGold Corporation expects to report on several activities in the very short term. When reporting each activity, NSGold will specifically mention the designated entity for the purpose of the split, that is, either NSGold Corporation or NSX Silver Inc.
