Optionholders of Almadex will receive replacement options of Almadex and options of Spinco which are proportionate to, and reflective of the terms of, their existing options of Almadex. Warrantholders of Almadex will have their existing warrants remain outstanding in accordance with their terms, and will, in lieu of being exerciseable for one Almadex Share, become exercisable for one New Almadex Share and one Spinco Share.
Spinco has applied to list the Spinco Shares on the TSXV.

About Almadex
Almadex is an exploration company that holds a large mineral portfolio consisting of projects and NSR royalties in Canada, the U.S., and Mexico. This portfolio is the direct result of over 35 years of prospecting and deal-making by Almadex's predecessor company, Almaden Minerals Ltd. Almadex is currently focused on exploration at its El Cobre gold/copper porphyry project in Veracruz, Mexico, in which it holds a 100% interest, subject to a sliding-scale NSR royalty equivalent to 0.5% in the event that production from the property exceeds 10,001 tonnes per day of ore. This NSR can be reduced to 0.25% at this production rate through the payment of US$3.0 million.
