HALIFAX, July 30, 2012 /CNW/ - Terry Coughlan, President and CEO of GoGold Resources Inc. ("GoGold" or the "Corporation") (TSXV: GGD), is pleased to report that the Corporation has closed the acquisition of Absolute Gold Holdings Incorporated ("Absolute"). GoGold has acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Absolute ("Absolute Shares") and all of the common share purchase warrants of Absolute ("Absolute Warrants") in exchange for the issuance of 0.81 of a common share of GoGold ("GoGold Share") for each Absolute Share and 0.81 of a common share purchase warrant of GoGold ("GoGold Warrant") for each Absolute Warrant, through a plan of arrangement ("Plan of Arrangement") completed under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the "Acquisition Transaction").
Under the terms of the Acquisition Transaction, the 30,000,000 Absolute Shares, together with the 53,000,000 Absolute Shares previously issued and outstanding, and the 15,000,000 Absolute Warrants issued and outstanding are to be exchanged under the terms of the Acquisition Transaction into 67,230,000 GoGold Shares and 12,150,000 GoGold Warrants, in accordance with the terms of the Plan of Arrangement. Each GoGold Warrant is exercisable into one GoGold Share at an exercise price of $1.50 until January 24, 2015.
Under the Acquisition Agreement, the Corporation has acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding Absolute Shares and Absolute Warrants, such that Absolute, which owns an interest in the Parral Tailings Project located in Chihuahua, Mexico, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Grupo Coanzamex S.A. Del C.V., is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation.
Terry Coughlan, President and CEO stated: "The Absolute deal now being complete paves the way to advancing the Parral tailings project located in Chihuahua. In addition to advancing Parral, we look forward to further exploration for gold, silver and copper at our San Diego project in Durango."
As previously announced, Absolute completed a brokered private placement financing (the "Offering") of subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts") sold at a price of CDN$1.00 per Subscription Receipt through a syndicate of agents led by BMO Capital Markets, and which included Canaccord Genuity Corp. and Wolverton Securities Ltd. (collectively, the "Agents") for gross proceeds of $30,000,000. The 30,000,000 Subscription Receipts sold under the Offering were automatically converted to 30,000,000 Absolute Shares and 15,000,000 Absolute Warrants upon the satisfaction of certain specified escrow release conditions on July 24, 2012. The Agents have been paid a cash commission of $1,500,000, together with applicable expenses and taxes.
Following receipt of the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V"), the GoGold Shares are anticipated to resume trading on the TSX-V on or about August 2, 2012. GoGold will continue to operate under the name "GoGold Resources Inc.", without any change to its directors or officers.
