MegumaGold Corp. (CSE: NSAU, OTC: NSAUF,
FWB: 2CM2)
(“
MegumaGold”) and
Canadian
GoldCamps Corp. (CSE: CAMP, OTC: SMATF,
FSE: A68) (“
Canadian
GoldCamps”) are pleased to announce that they have
entered into an arm’s length agreement dated November 12, 2020 (the
“
Agreement”) with respect to a contemplated
business combination by way of a proposed share exchange between
MegumaGold and Canadian GoldCamps to which MegumaGold would acquire
100 per cent of the issued and outstanding shares of Canadian
GoldCamps (the “
Transaction”). The parties shall
jointly prepare an information circular (setting forth inter alia
the recommendations of their respective boards of directors for the
proposed Transaction) as soon as reasonably feasible. Each party
will file a Notice of Meeting and Record Date on SEDAR in due
course.
The proposed Transaction would provide
shareholders of both companies with:
- A complementary district
consolidation of Canadian GoldCamps properties in New Brunswick’s
Bathurst Mining Camp, Newfoundland’s Central Gold Belt, and
MegumaGold’s extensive exploration land position in Nova Scotia’s
Meguma Gold District;
- Combined goal of defining
additional gold resources across Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in
2021;
- Strengthened balance sheet and
enhanced ability to raise capital to advance exploration;
- Strengthened management and
leadership team through complimentary skillsets;
- A critical mass to support further
accretive entry into dominant positions in Gold Camps across
Canada.
Canadian GoldCamps is engaged in the
acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource assets
with a focus on precious metal properties which have potential for
both significant exploration upside and are prospective for future
development. Canadian GoldCamps this year expanded its strategic
focus toward precious metals and further affirmed its
forward-looking plan to build a diversified portfolio of
exploration properties in historical gold-producing areas of
Canada.
MegumaGold has assembled a strategically
positioned, district-scale claim tenure comprised of 110,791
hectares within the Meguma Gold District in Nova Scotia.
MegumaGold’s current focus is preparing drilling campaigns for its
Caribou, Killag, and Touquoy West Properties while continuing to
develop its regional targets throughout the district. At Touquoy
West, located 4 km to the west of St Barbara’s Touquoy mine,
combined soil geochemistry results and Induced Polarization (IP)
survey results have identified three main anomalies on strike with
the Touquoy mine that have never been drill tested. At Killag,
MegumaGold’s initial Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling program has
identified anomalous gold results over a strike length of 1 km open
to the east and west, approximately 20 km to the east of St
Barbara’s Touquoy mine. In September of 2020 MegumaGold completed
an amalgamation with Osprey Gold acquiring the Goldenville deposit
(see MegumaGold press release dated September 14, 2020).
Canadian GoldCamps has assembled approximately
4,150 hectares of prospective gold properties in New Brunswick,
near the historic Bathurst mining district, and in Newfoundland’s
Central Newfoundland Gold Belt, a region that has recently shown
significant gold exploration success. In New Brunswick, Canadian
GoldCamps properties encompass the majority of the Elmtree Gold
Project (“Elmtree”), which contains a historical resource estimate
and will require additional exploration and drilling to enhance its
gold-bearing potential. A Mineral Resource Estimate is currently
planned for the Elmtree Project that will incorporate the results
from an upcoming drilling program and the latest industry gold
price forecasts. In Newfoundland, Canadian GoldCamps’ seven claims
are proximal to the northeast trending Dog Bay Suture and the
parallel Appleton and JPB Faults, which have been identified as
hosting significant gold-bearing potential.
Theo Van der Linde, President of MegumaGold
stated, “We’re incredibly pleased to be working with the GoldCamps
team in building a premier gold exploration and development company
with assets in emerging gold districts throughout Atlantic Canada.
With this merger Meguma shareholders will benefit by not only be
acquiring high quality assets with growth potential, but also
direct access to invaluable guidance from well regarded Board
members.”
David Garofalo, Director of Canadian GoldCamps
commented, “Today’s announcement is yet another positive step
towards fulfilling our vision of creating a premier, Canadian-based
precious metals focused exploration and development company. The
advanced stage of our assets in New Brunswick, along with the
early, albeit exciting potential of the properties in Newfoundland,
are a great regional and strategic fit to MegumaGold’s extensive
land position in the under explored Meguma Gold District. I would
like to thank our CEO, Alex Terentiew, for advancing Canadian
GoldCamps towards this merger and helping create a new exploration
company that shareholders can be excited about. We wish him well in
his next endeavour.”
Alex Terentiew, President and CEO of Canadian
GoldCamps stated, “2020 has been a very busy and exciting year for
the Company, and for the gold mining industry at large, and I am
delighted to have had the privilege to lead Canadian GoldCamps
through its growth thus far. With the combined portfolio of assets
based in the Atlantic Provinces, and taking into account travel
restrictions during this global COVID-19 pandemic, however, this
merger presents an opportunity for all shareholders to benefit from
the experience and relationships MegumaGold’s existing management
team has fostered in the region over the past few years. I am
confident that MegumaGold’s CEO, Regan Isenor, who is based in
Halifax and has both regional and international experience, is well
suited to lead the company forward. I wish the Company great
success in the years ahead.”
Details of the Proposed Transaction
MegumaGold will acquire all of the issued and
outstanding shares of Canadian GoldCamps. Each shareholder of
Canadian GoldCamps (each, a
“GoldCamps
Shareholder”) will receive such number of common
shares of MegumaGold (the “Meguma Shares”) as is
equal to the product of the number of common shares of Canadian
GoldCamps (the “GoldCamps
Shares”) held by such shareholder at an exchange
ratio which equals one and one-tenth (1.1) Meguma Shares per one
(1) GoldCamps Share outstanding at the closing of the
Transaction.
The definitive agreement will provide that
unexercised incentive stock options and share purchase warrants of
Canadian GoldCamps will be assumed by MegumaGold and will: (i)
remain outstanding for their full term, and (ii) following the
closing date of the Transaction, entitle the holder thereof to
acquire Meguma Shares in lieu of GoldCamps Shares, in such number
and at such exercise price as shall be adjusted based on the
exchange ratio inherent in the Transaction, and otherwise on the
same terms and conditions as existed prior to the Transaction.
Canadian GoldCamps will have the right to
appoint three (3) members to the board of directors of the
resulting issuer, with the total number of members of such board of
directors to be initially set at four (4). MegumaGold shall
contribute management personnel to the resulting issuer.
MegumaGold currently has 136,318,288 outstanding
common shares and 34,466,433 shares reserved for issuance under
incentive stock options and share purchase warrants. As of today’s
date, it is anticipated an aggregate of 82,966,803 Meguma Shares
are anticipated to be issued to the GoldCamps Shareholders, along
with options and warrants entitling GoldCamps Shareholders to
acquire a further 30,903,501 Meguma Shares.
Based on the foregoing and assuming no
outstanding options or warrants of Canadian GoldCamps are exercised
prior to closing and giving effect to any concurrent financing, the
resulting issuer from the Transaction will have 219,285,092 shares
issued and outstanding, of which former GoldCamps Shareholders will
hold approximately 38% of the issued and outstanding common shares
of the resulting issuer (40% of the common shares of the resulting
issuer on a fully diluted basis).
The Transaction is subject to a number of
conditions, including due diligence by each party, completion of
definitive documentation, approval by Boards of Directors of each
party, obtaining any necessary shareholder approvals (including any
minority approval required by Multilateral Instrument 61-101, if
applicable, obtaining all governmental, regulatory, Canadian
Securities Exchange (the “CSE”), and other

parties to complete the Transaction. The precise form of the
Transaction will be determined following further advice and
consultation with the parties’ respective legal and tax advisors.
