Savannah Gold Corp. Announces the Signing of a Binding Letter Of Intent with 1975293 Alberta Ltd., Operating as E3 Metals

25.04.2017  |  FSCwire
Vancouver - Savannah Gold Corp. (TSX.V:SAV.H) (the “Corporation” or “Savannah”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) dated April 24, 2017 with 1975293 Alberta Ltd., operating as E3 Metals (“E3 Metals”). Savannah and E3 Metals will enter into a definitive Share Exchange Agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”) whereby all outstanding securities of E3 Metals will be exchanged for securities of Savannah (the “Transaction”), which constitutes a Fundamental Acquisition (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”)) by Savannah. The final structure of the Definitive Agreement is subject to applicable corporate, securities and tax considerations. The Transaction is an arm’s length transaction.

On closing of the Transaction, it is anticipated that Savannah will change its name to E3 Metals Corp. and will carry on with the development of E3 Metals’ “petro-brine” projects in south-central Alberta. The Corporation proposes to complete a reactivation and upgrade to Tier 2 on the TSXV following the Transaction.


About E3 Metals

E3 Metals is a private company incorporated under the Alberta Business Corporations Act and headquartered in Calgary, Alberta. Canada. E3 Metals, is a lithium “petro-brine” exploration and development company focusing on the Clearwater and Exshaw Projects covering the Leduc reservoir in south-central Alberta. These projects were specifically selected, and first to be staked in the region for lithium exploration, due to their ability to deliver the large volumes of water required for direct extraction of lithium from petro-brines. Historical lithium concentrations in the region range as high as 140mg/L within the reservoir. Ease of on-the-ground access and the large amount of existing infrastructure available associated with the production of oil and gas is the reason E3 Metals has focused its efforts in the region. Centrally located around Red Deer, the city which is the hub for oil and gas service companies operating in the province, E3 Metals will look to leverage access to the existing infrastructure in order to lower both costs and risks for the assessment and potential development of its projects.

In Alberta, lithium is known to exist within the saline water (or “petro-brine”) that sits directly below certain very well understood oil reservoirs. E3 Metals plans to systematically sample each of its project areas to determine the concentration of lithium over a significant area, far larger than historically sampled, and create a development strategy based on locating the areas of highest lithium concentrations within the reservoir. E3 Metals will be able to use the large amount of data available on the reservoir’s physical properties from the oil and gas industry, allowing the Corporation to move quickly to developing a mineral resource.

“The ultimate goal of E3 Metals is to develop a project capable of producing in excess of 20,000t of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) per year. Given the high water deliverability of the lithium petro-brine, E3 Metals believes its project goal is achievable” said Chris Doornbos, who will assume the role of President and CEO of the Corporation on closing of the Transaction. “We believe that the listing of E3’s shares on the TSXV is a good strategic move for our company as it will allow E3 Metals to raise the necessary capital so that we can focus on launching and expanding our exciting and critical business.”

Upon completion of the Transaction, it is anticipated that certain of Savannah’s current management will resign and that representatives of E3 Metals with the requisite experience to manage the Corporation will be appointed officers, in order to satisfy the requirements of the TSXV. Additionally, the board of directors of the Corporation will be comprised of five members as follows:
