Under the Arrangement, shareholders of Cadillac received (i) 0.12195 of a Pilot Gold share, and (ii) 0.12195 of a Pilot Gold share purchase warrant (the "Pilot Warrants") for each common share of Cadillac held. Each whole Pilot Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Pilot Gold share at an exercise price of C$2.00 with a two-year term. Existing Cadillac warrants and stock options are exercisable for Pilot Gold shares, adjusted in respect of exercise price and number, based on the 0.12195 exchange ratio.
"The acquisition of Cadillac Mining and its 100%-owned Goldstrike project is an attractive and strategic addition for Pilot Gold. At Goldstrike, the address, large land position, prospective geology, and extensive historic databases represent key building blocks for future growth and value creation," stated Matt Lennox-King, President & CEO of Pilot Gold. "The transaction provides Cadillac shareholders exposure to Pilot Gold's Kinsley, TV Tower and Halilağa projects, as well as our leading exploration and development team."
GOLDSTRIKE PROJECT
The Goldstrike project is a past producing sediment-hosted gold project located in Western Utah, and represents part of a growing class of Carlin-type gold targets located off the main Carlin and Cortez Trends.
Pilot Gold has begun the organization and compilation of the extensive database of historic information, and plans to initiate permitting activities on the property later in the year. The Company is focused on project incubation, synthesizing, and interpreting over 50 years of mining and exploration data on Goldstrike, leading into a comprehensive targeting campaign.
Goldstrike complements our existing project portfolio and enhances Pilot Gold's long-term strategy of focusing on high quality projects with high grades in supportive mining jurisdictions.
