Corazon Gold Corp. to Acquire ICN Resources Creating International Gold Exploration Company

13.08.2012  |  Marketwired
VANCOUVER, Aug. 13, 2012 - Corazon Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE: CGW) (OTCBB: RMZFF) ("Corazon") and ICN Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: ICN) ("ICN") are pleased to announce that they have signed a definitive arrangement agreement dated August 10, 2012 whereby Corazon will acquire all of the outstanding shares of ICN (the "Transaction"). This business combination will result in a well financed company with gold exploration projects in Nicaragua, Nevada and Colorado.

Carl Hering, President and CEO of ICN, stated, "This is a great combination which will produce many synergies on multiple fronts for both Corazon and ICN shareholders. ICN will be able to drill one or more of its Nevada projects yet this year, and in particular, follow-up on exciting 2011 drill results at the Goldfield Project. ICN shareholders will also gain exposure to Corazon's corporate management team and their projects focused in Nicaragua. A merger of this type, in this market, is a great way to create shareholder value, combining the complimentary strengths of these two companies."

Patrick Brauckmann, President and CEO of Corazon, commented, "This transaction is a very positive step for Corazon by adding ICN's Nevada property portfolio and the greater insight of the geologist responsible for identifying and selecting the projects, Dr. Carl Hering. Carl was instrumental at Placer Dome for the Mulatos and Cerro Crucitas discoveries in Mexico and Costa Rica, and more recently in the acquisition and advancement of the Hammond Reef deposit which was acquired by Osisko Mining in 2010. Hammond Reef now hosts more than 10 million ounces of gold."

In connection with the Transaction, 097474 B.C. Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Corazon ("Subco"), will amalgamate with ICN, the amalgamated company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Corazon, and Corazon will issue securities of Corazon to the former securityholders of ICN. The Corazon securities are expected to be issued on a one for one basis (subject to adjustment as provided for in the Arrangement Agreement), such that Corazon is expected to issue an aggregate of 51,665,740 common shares and 2,896,061 warrants to the securityholders of ICN. Any warrants issued by Corazon are expected to have the same terms as the currently outstanding ICN warrants.

The Transaction is expected to close during the month of October and is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set out in the Arrangement Agreement, including receipt of court approval, the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the approval of ICN shareholders, which is to be sought at a general and special meeting of such shareholders to be scheduled prior to mid October, 2012.

The Arrangement Agreement includes a commitment by the parties not to solicit alternative transactions, and ICN has agreed to pay a termination fee of $150,000 to Corazon under certain circumstances. In addition, Corazon has the right to match any unsolicited competing offer which may be made. A full copy of the Arrangement Agreement will be filed by each of Corazon and ICN under their respective profiles on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. In addition, a detailed description of the Arrangement Agreement will be included in the management information circular which will be mailed to ICN shareholders in advance of the proposed ICN Shareholders Meeting.

In contemplation of the proposed Transaction, on August 2, 2012, the Exchange approved a loan by Corazon to ICN in the aggregate amount of up to $500,000, which loan matures on the earlier of (i) 45 days after the ICN Shareholders Meeting, if the shareholders of ICN do not approve the Transaction and (ii) November 15, 2012. The loan bears interest at 10% per annum, calculated monthly and payable at maturity. The loan is secured by the assets of ICN, and of ICN's three US subsidiaries. The proceeds of the loan will be used by ICN for the payment of annual land claim assessment fees and other outstanding payables.

None of the Corazon securities issued in connection with the Transaction may be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of, the securities in any state where such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful.
