Wednesday, September 02, 2015
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES. ANY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF U.S. SECURITIES LAW
Ottawa, Ontario, September 2, 2015 - Majescor Resources Inc. ("Majescor" or the "Corporation") (TSX-V: MJX) is pleased to announce that it has signed a definitive agreement with Société Minière du Nord-Est. ("SOMINE"), a subsidiary of the Corporation, for the redemption of 740,210 common shares of SOMINE. The SOMINE shares are held by Majescor's wholly owned subsidiary SIMACT Alliance Copper-Gold Inc. ("SACG"). After the redemption of the SOMINE shares, SACG will maintain 40,000 of the 263,274 remaining common shares of SOMINE, which represents approximately 15% of the outstanding SOMINE shares.
In compensation for the redemption of the SOMINE shares, the Corporation will receive a 2% royalty on each of the two Mining Exploitation Permits (PEM) held by SOMINE. SOMINE will retain the right to purchase at any time the royalties in whole or in part in the amount of $1,000,000 for 1% per royalty. Management has assessed that the redemption of its shares in SOMINE along with a decreased representation on the SOMINE board of directors has resulted in a loss of control of SOMINE for financial reporting purposes. Upon redemption control of SOMINE will be transferred to SOMINE's current minority shareholders which are arms-length from Majescor.
As at August 31, 2015, the Mining Exploitation Permits and related exploration and evaluation assets were fully impaired and carried a nil value of the consolidated statement of financial position. As a result of the loss of control of its subsidiary and deconsolidation, the Corporation, will be able to remove US$2,281,000 of debt from its balance sheet.
"Majescor is pleased to complete this transaction as it simplifies our balance sheet. We wish our Haitian partner success in developing these assets which are important to the Haitian economy. We continue to look for other business opportunities as stated in our news release of April 3, 2014. We are focusing our search on precious and base metal opportunities in Eastern Canada.", stated Mr. C. Tucker Barrie, CEO.
The closing of this transaction is subject to TSX Venture approval.
