VANCOUVER, July 31, 2018 /CNW/ - Golden Reign Resources
Ltd. (TSXV: GRR) ("Golden Reign"), Marlin Gold Mining
Ltd. (TSX-V: MLN) ("Marlin") and Sailfish Royalty
Corp. (TSX-V: FISH) ("Sailfish") are pleased to provide
an update regarding the proposed business combination of Golden
Reign's wholly-owned San Albino-Murra Property in Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua and Marlin's La Trinidad Mine in
Sinaloa, Mexico.
The parties have been diligently working towards settling all
structuring and definitive documentation, including a revised
stream arrangement to be entered on closing having the equivalent
effect of a net smelter royalty on the area of interest and
surrounding areas, in connection with completing the proposed
business combination. As previously announced, the proposed
business combination will be completed by way of a plan of
arrangement under which Golden Reign will acquire all of the issued
and outstanding shares of Marlin following completion of a
corporate reorganization being undertaken by Marlin. Upon
completion of the proposed transactions, it is expected that the
current shareholders and option holders of Marlin will own in
aggregate approximately 45% of the shares of Golden Reign (after
the distribution of the Golden Reign shares already owned by Marlin
to certain of its shareholders) and current non-Marlin Golden Reign
shareholders will own approximately 55% of the shares.
The parties expect to be in a position to execute the
arrangement agreement and ancillary definitive documentation on or
before August 10, 2018, and to
complete and mail all meeting materials prior to the end of
August 2018 in order to hold their
respective shareholder meetings to seek all required shareholder
approvals in connection with completing the proposed transactions
by the end of September 2018.
