Golden Arrow Announces Planned Spin-Out Transaction
=======================================================================
Golden Arrow Resources Corporation (GRG - TSX.V) ("Golden Arrow" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce that it intends to complete a
spin-out of its Peruvian and Colombian mineral assets to a new company
("Newco") under a statutory plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement").
The recently acquired four properties in Peru, in addition to the
previously owned Rio Tabaconas project, will constitute a very
important shareholder asset which because of its distinct geographical
Peruvian location will be best developed by a newly created public
company. This strategy will make it possible for Newco to focus on an
aggressive exploration campaign on two already successfully drilled
properties: Rio Tabaconas gold project and Cocha high-grade
copper-silver discovery. Drill results on Rio Tabaconas includes 18g/t
gold over 16 metres (news release dated October 17, 2001); and,
drilling on Cocha includes 3.6% copper and 37.9g/t silver over 38
metres (Panthera Exploration news release dated January 11, 2008). The
other three ideally located, but earlier stage properties, will be
advanced though a series of surface work programs.
Newco will utilize the existing offices and network in Lima, Peru which
were part of the acquisition and can fully accommodate a geological
technical activity. This exciting corporate restructure will have an
excellent opportunity focus on new discoveries.
Following the completion of the Arrangement, Golden Arrow will retain
its Argentinean mineral assets and its royalty interest in Yamana Gold
Inc.'s Gualcamayo property (the "Gualcamayo Royalty) and Newco will
apply to be listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V"). As
management believes that the Company's share valuation is primarily
driven by the Company's Argentinean properties and the Gualcamayo
Royalty, management determined that it could maximize shareholder value
by spinning out the Company's Peruvian and Colombian properties into a
separate publicly listed company that could focus on the development of
those properties.
Further details regarding the Arrangement will be set out in an
information circular that will be sent to Shareholders and
Warrantholders in advance of the special meeting of the Shareholders
and Warrantholders that is planned to be held on December 23, 2009 to
seek approval for the proposed Arrangement and other matters related
thereto.
Plan of Arrangement
Under the proposed terms of the Arrangement, the holders (the
"Shareholders") of common shares of Golden Arrow ("Golden Arrow
Shares") will receive one common share of Newco (a "Newco Share") for
each ten Golden Arrow Shares held at the effective date of the
Arrangement (the "Effective Date"). The holders (the "Warrantholders")
of common share purchase warrants of Golden Arrow ("Golden Arrow
Warrants") will receive one common share purchase warrant of Newco (a
"Newco Warrant") for each ten Golden Arrow Warrants held at the
Effective Date. At the Effective date, the exercise price of
outstanding Golden Arrow Warrants will be reduced by 10%. The exercise
price of each Newco Warrant will be equal to the pre-adjustment
exercise price of the Golden Arrow Warrants in respect of which the
Newco Warrant was distributed. The completion of the Arrangement will
be subject, among other things, to the approval of the TSX-V, the
Supreme Court of British Columbia and the Shareholders and
Warrantholders. The management and directors of Newco will be identical
to the management and directors of Golden Arrow.
The Newco Shares and the Newco Warrants have not been and will not be
registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
or the securities laws of any state, and will be issued pursuant to
applicable exemptions from such registration requirements.
