NV Gold Shares to Recommence Trading After Halt for LOI Regarding Acquisition of Redstar Gold's Nevada Assets
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Aug 3, 2016) - NV Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE:NVX) or ("the Company") announces that its shares will recommence trading on the TSX Venture Exchange today ending the halt imposed on its announcement of it entering into the Letter of Intent (the "LOI") with Redstar Gold Corp. (TSX.V:RGC) ("Redstar"). The LOI sets forth the terms under which NVX intends to acquire 100% of Redstar's exploration assets in Nevada, subject to completion of due diligence, the finalization of a definitive agreement governing the acquisition and receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"). These assets consist of a 100% interest (less existing NSRs) in 11 exploration projects (the "Projects") in Nevada, as well as the AngloGold-Ashanti database (the "Database") purchased by Redstar in 2008.
Under the terms of the LOI, NVX and Redstar propose to enter into a definitive acquisition agreement under which NVX will acquire the Database and the Projects in consideration of NVX issuing to Redstar 6,000,000 common shares of NVX and Redstar having the right to name two of a proposed 6 member board of NVX. Under the definitive agreement, NVX will also be required to raise CDN$350,000 within 90 days of the completion of the definitive agreement or else NVX must return the Projects and the Database to Redstar in exchange for Redstar returning 95% of the shares of NVX it receives under the acquisition. If, after NVX raises the CDN$350,000, Redstar owns less than 29.9% of the outstanding shares of NVX, NVX would be required to issue Redstar additional shares of NVX to increase Redstar's share ownership of NVX shares to 29.9%. John Watson, CEO of NVX has confirmed he will subscribe to a lead order of the placement for up to CDN$100,000 after signing of the definitive agreement.
The LOI is not binding on the parties, except that Redstar has agreed to a 30-day exclusive right for NV Gold to complete its due diligence and negotiate a definitive agreement and NV Gold has agreed to fund the US$43,080 in annual claims maintenance costs due by the end of August, 2016 for the 11 Nevada properties it proposes to acquire.
The Nevada Assets to be acquired by NVX includes the Database (extensive proprietary exploration files created by AngloGold-Ashanti and its predecessors and successors, covering Nevada and portions of Utah, Idaho and California) and the 11 Nevada properties owned by Redstar. Summary information describing the Database and Redstar's Nevada properties is in NVX's news release of August 2, 2016 announcing the LOI.
