Orefinders Requisitions Mistango Shareholders Meeting to Change Mistango's Board of Directors
TORONTO, May 8, 2019 - Orefinders Resources Inc. ("Orefinders" or the "Company") (TSX.V: ORX) announces that, further to its acquisition of 11,850,000 shares of Mistango River Resources Inc. ("Mistango") (CNX: MIS), or over 31% of the shares outstanding, from Osisko Gold Royalties, Orefinders has requisitioned the convening of a shareholders meeting of Mistango, in respect of its 2017 and 2018 fiscal years, and for the purpose of changing its board of directors.
Requisition of Shareholders' Meeting for Mistango River Resources
Orefinders has requisitioned the directors of Mistango to hold a shareholder meeting pursuant to Section 143 of the Canada Business Corporations Act. Mistango has been in default, for over ten months, in holding its annual general shareholders meeting in 2018 and its management has not yet called a meeting for 2019. Shareholders will be asked to replace the current Board of Directors of Mistango, given the lack of progress and value creation from their assets, including the development of the Omega gold mine.
"I encourage all Mistango shareholders to reach out to me directly to learn more about Orefinders' rationale for requisitioning this shareholder meeting and our plan to turn Mistango around for the benefit of all shareholders," said Stephen Stewart Orefinders CEO.
The requisition delivered to Mistango proposed the election of the following nominees:
