Winshear Gold Corp. Announces Share Consolidation
VANCOUVER, Feb. 07, 2024 - Winshear Gold Corp. (the "Company") (TSX-V: WINS) announces that the Company's common shares will begin trading on a post-consolidated basis at the opening of the market on February 13, 2024 under the existing trading symbol "WINS". After Winshear's Cdn$25m return of capital of its shareholders in December of 2023, Winshear retained approximately Cdn$3m in order to carry out an inaugural drill program at its Gaban gold project in SE Peru in 2024. After consulting with key shareholders in Winshear, directors and management felt it was prudent to complete a roll back prior to the upcoming drill program where the Company is now completely focused on bearing out the value of its Peruvian exploration assets. The drill program is expected to commence in June of 2024. The Company is also advancing its ICA I.O.C.G. project.
The Company will be consolidating its outstanding common share capital on the basis of three (3) pre-Consolidation shares for one (1) post-Consolidation share (the "Consolidation"). No fractional shares will be issued pursuant to the Consolidation and any fractions will be rounded to the nearest whole number. As of the date of this news release, the Company has 94,255,895 common shares issued and outstanding. Following completion of the Consolidation, it is anticipated that the Company will have approximately 31,418,631 common shares issued and outstanding.
A Letter of transmittal describing the process by which shareholders may obtain new certificates representing their post-consolidated common shares will be mailed to registered shareholders.
Effective Date: February 13, 2024
NEW CUSIP: 97536W207
NEW ISIN: CA97536W2076
The Company's name and trading symbol will remain the same.
