About Continental
Continental is focused on the exploration, discovery and development of nickel sulphide deposits in geologically prospective, but under-explored regions globally. The Company's key asset is its 75% interest in the Nachingwea project in Tanzania. The project is a 75:25 exploration joint venture between the Company and IMX Resources Limited ("IMX"). The Company also has an option to joint venture on the St. Stephen project in New Brunswick, Canada where the 2010-2012 diamond drill programs discovered new Ni-Cu sulphide zones. In May 2012 an Arrangement Agreement was entered into between CNI and IMX under which the shares of CNI not held by IMX would be acquired by IMX for shares and warrants in IMX. This transaction is currently scheduled to be completed in September 2012 after CNI holds a special meeting of shareholders to approve the transaction, and certain other conditions to completion, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals, have been met.
As at the date of this release, the Company has 42,793,508 common shares issued and outstanding (46,866,008 on a fully-diluted basis) and trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol CNI. The Company had over $6.6 million in the treasury as at March 31, 2012.
