Lago Dourado Minerals Ltd. and GPM Metals Inc. Announce Property Sale

29.03.2016  |  CNW
TORONTO, March 29, 2016 - Lago Dourado Minerals Ltd. (TSXV:LDM) ("Lago") and GPM Metals Inc. (TSXV:GPM) ("GPM") are pleased to announce that they have agreed upon terms of the proposed acquisition (the "Acquisition") by Lago from GPM of GPM's interests in the Sandy Lake district, Northwestern Ontario. These interests include a 100% interest in 1400 contiguous claim units known as the "East Block" as well as GPM's right to earn up to a 70% interest in the Weebigee Project, also known as the "Northwest" claim block (collectively, the "Project").

The Weebigee Project is a joint venture between GPM and Goldeye Explorations Ltd. (TSXV:GGY) ("Goldeye"), the terms of which are outlined in a press release of GPM dated April 15, 2015 available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

GPM has agreed to sell its interests in consideration of the issuance of 40,000,000 common shares of Lago (the "Consideration Shares"). It is a condition to the completion of the Acquisition that GPM shall effect a distribution of the Consideration Shares to its shareholders immediately following the closing of the Acquisition (the "Share Distribution"). Following the closing of the Acquisition, the board of directors of Lago shall be increased to consist of five (5) directors, three (3) of which shall be nominees of Lago and two (2) of which shall be nominees of GPM. In addition, it is proposed that Lago change its name to Sandy Lake Gold Inc.

The Project consists of approximately 28,000 hectares of contiguous exploration rights and covers more than 50 km of strike length of the Sandy Lake greenstone belt. The Sandy Lake greenstone belt is located on the same geological terrain as Goldcorp Inc.'s world class Musselwhite Mine, however the Sandy Lake greenstone belt remains significantly under explored. An aggregate of approximately 3,000 meters of historical exploration drilling had been conducted between 1932 and 1988. Goldeye completed an exploration agreement with Sandy Lake First Nation ("SLFN") in 2013 and conducted a further 2,200 meter shallow drill program reporting significant Au results (see Goldeye's press release dated April 9, 2014, available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com). Utilizing both the economic and geological models of the Musselwhite Mine, the primary exploration target is a 50 km segment of a regional scale banded iron formation (BIF). Patrick Sheridan, Chief Executive Officer of GPM, states "This transaction creates a new entity with a 100% focus on this exciting exploration project. I am sure that Lago will continue to build upon the existing relations with the SLFN community and other members of the 1910 Ontario Treaty No.5. This coveted relationship founded on the basis of respect, dialogue and cooperation is a vital asset to the success of this project."

Forbes Gemmell, Chief Executive Officer of Lago states "This purchase allows existing shareholders of Lago to participate in the exploration of this exciting gold district. We look forward to working with Goldeye and other stakeholders to build upon the strong community relationships."


Further Particulars of the Acquisition

Concurrently with the Acquisition, Lago will complete a private placement to raise minimum gross proceeds of Cdn$1,000,000, of which a minimum of Cdn$750,000 will be raised pursuant to the sale of "flow-through" securities and a minimum of Cdn$250,000 will be raised pursuant to the sale of non-"flow-through" securities (the "Financing"), upon terms yet to be determined.

The Acquisition will be a "non-arm's length" transaction between the parties within the meaning of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") policies and may be subject to a vote of disinterested shareholders due to the fact that (i) Mr. Daniel Noone serves as a director of both Lago and GPM (Mr. Noone owns 102,300 common shares of Lago representing 1.09% of common shares outstanding and owns 1,642,000 common shares of GPM representing 2.67% of common shares outstanding); and (ii) Rosseau Asset Management Ltd. ("Rosseau") is a significant shareholder of both companies (Rosseau owns 2,374,674 common shares of Lago representing 25.19% of common shares outstanding and owns 9,500,000 common shares of GPM representing 15.44% of common shares outstanding). Accordingly, Lago will be required to obtain shareholder approval of the Acquisition in accordance with the regulations of the TSXV. In addition, GPM will be required to obtain shareholder approval of the Share Distribution, and may also be required to obtain shareholder approval of the Acquisition if required by the TSXV. The boards of directors of each of Lago and GPM formed special committees comprised entirely of independent directors in order to consider and make recommendations with respect to the proposed Acquisition.

The Acquisition remains subject to various conditions including the execution of a definitive agreement, receipt of all requisite shareholder, third party and regulatory approvals (including, without limitation, the approval of the TSXV), and the receipt of an independent technical report in respect of the Project in a form acceptable to the TSXV.
