Golden Bridge Development Announces Letter of Intent and Proposed Change of Business and Change of Control

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired - Oct. 16, 2015) - Golden Bridge Development Corp. ("Golden Bridge," or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:GBD) is pleased to announce that the Company has signed a non-binding letter of intent (the "LOI") between Golden Bridge, LeMine Development Corp. ("LeMine") and CIM Development (Markham) LP ("CIM Development") to acquire indirect interests in two real estate development projects located in the Greater Toronto area in exchange for common shares ("Common Shares") in the capital of Golden Bridge (the "Transaction"). If completed, the Transaction would result in both a change of business ("Change of Business") for Golden Bridge which would become a "Diversified Industries" company and a reverse take-over ("RTO") within the meaning of the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V"). In conjunction with the Transaction, Golden Bridge intends to apply to list the Common Shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") and intends to apply to delist the Common Shares from the TSXV.


Letter of Intent and Transaction

The LOI provides that, subject to completion of tax, corporate and securities planning and other conditions, including execution of a definitive agreement, Golden Bridge will acquire the following indirect real estate interests for the consideration set out below:

1. an indirect interest, valued at least at $10,000,000, in the "Academy" residential condominium development property located at 3070 Ellesmere Road, Toronto, Ontario by purchasing all outstanding common shares of 3070 Ellesmere Developments Inc. (a corporation existing under the laws of Ontario) from LeMine, in exchange for the issuance to LeMine of 40,000,000 Common Shares at a deemed price of $0.25 per Common Share on a post consolidation basis (see below); and

li>an indirect interest, valued at least at $10,000,000, in the "Mackenzie Creek" residential condominium development property located at 5899 Mackenzie Creek Drive, Markham, Ontario by purchasing limited partnership units in CIM Development, an Ontario limited partnership based in Richmond Hill, or its assignee, in exchange for the issuance of 40,000,000 Common Shares at a deemed price of $0.25 per Common Share on a post consolidation basis. More specifically, Golden Bridge intends to acquire 90% of CIM Development's interest in the Mackenzie Creek property by purchasing all the outstanding limited partnership units of a new limited partnership to be owned by CIM Investment & Development LP ("CIM Investment"), Global King Inc. and Shang Titlist Investment Inc. (collectively, the "CIM Group"). CIM Development intends to assign its interest in the Mackenzie Creek property to the new limited partnership.

All the vendors involved in the Transaction are arm's length parties to Golden Bridge and its officers and directors. LeMine is a Toronto, Ontario based real estate developer; CIM Investment is a Richmond Hill, Ontario based real estate developer; and Global and Shang are based in Markham, Ontario and Thornhill, Ontario respectively.

A current independent market valuation will be delivered to Golden Bridge for each of the Academy and Mackenzie Creek properties (and the direct owners thereof) to support the aggregate valuation of at least $20,000,000 for such properties. It is estimated that Golden Bridge will indirectly own a majority interest in the Academy property and a majority interest in the Mackenzie Creek property.

In connection with the Transaction, each of LeMine and the CIM Group has made a refundable deposit of $100,000 (for a total of $200,000) to be held in an interest-bearing account by an escrow agent. Upon completion of the Transaction, or if there is a termination of the LOI in accordance with its terms, Golden Bridge will immediately repay the deposits.

The LOI contains the usual non-solicitation and exclusivity covenants by the Company which will be in effect for a period of 90 days from October 15, 2015 or until the earlier termination of the LOI. Upon entering into the definitve agreement, a break fee in an aggregate amount of $600,000 will be payable by the Company in the event that it terminates the definitive agreement on the basis that it has received an alternative proposal which the board of directors of the Company determines is a superior proposal.

The Company intends to explore equity financing options in parallel with proceeding towards the completion of the Transaction. An equity financing may be required in order to meet CSE listing requirements.


Post-Transaction Company and Proposed Change of Business

The Company has 18,663,081 Common Shares outstanding at this time, on a non-diluted basis; 20,200,012 Common Shares on a fully-diluted basis It is expected that, upon the closing of the Transaction and prior to any potential concurrent financing which may occur as part of the Transaction, LeMine, the CIM Group and the current shareholders of Golden Bridge will hold, respectively, 47.8%, 47.8% and 4.4% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, on a non-diluted basis. At or about the time of the closing of the Transaction, Golden Bridge is proposing to consolidate its issued and outstanding shares on the basis of five pre-consolidation Common Shares for each one post-consolidation Common Share. The proposed consolidation of the Common Shares will be subject to both shareholder and regulatory review.

Following the completion of the Transaction, the board of directors of the Company shall be comprised of seven directors, initially consisting of one director nominated by Golden Bridge, three directors nominated by LeMine, and three directors nominated by the CIM Group or CIM Development. Apart from Mr. Jiubin Feng, who will be appointed as President, CEO and Chairman of the board of directors of the Company, the directors will be determined at a later time. The Company's current President and CEO, Changlin (Charles) Qin, will resign as President and CEO immediately following the completion of the Transaction.

Golden Bridge is currently a Tier 2 Mining Issuer pursuant to the policies of the TSX-V. The current management and the board of directors of Golden Bridge recently considered a number of potential opportunities and strategies to maximize shareholder value in the mineral resource and exploration sector. Due to the difficult economic state of the mineral resource sector and lack of capital available in this industry, Golden Bridge proposes to reposition its business mandate as a "Diversified Industries" issuer focused on three distinct business sectors: resources, real estate and technology. The board believes that this will permit the Company to pursue and develop business in these various sectors when opportunities arise and will allow the Company to expand its operations more easily and to be in a better position to enhance shareholder value in the future.

As a result of the acquisition of interests in the two real estate development projects, Golden Bridge believes it will have the benefit of the skills and talents of two experienced real estate developers in the Greater Toronto area in an industry which has seen significant growth and development during the past several years and in which there has been available capital from financiers and lenders to carry out such projects.

The shareholders of the Company will also be asked to approve the change of the Company's name to "LeMine Developments Corp."
