Murgor Securityholders Approve Acquisition By Alexandria
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 02/25/15 -- Alexandria Minerals Corporation (TSX VENTURE: AZX)(FRANKFURT: A9D)(OTC PINK: ALXDF) ("Alexandria") is pleased to report that the securityholders of Murgor Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: MGR) ("Murgor") voted yesterday at a Special Securityholders meeting held in Montreal, in favour of the acquisition of Murgor by Alexandria, a transaction previously announced on December 23, 2014.
Pursuant to the terms of the arrangement agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement"), Alexandria will acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Murgor (the "Murgor Shares") by way of a plan of arrangement under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the "Arrangement"). With shareholder approval, the transaction is to now be approved by the Superior Court of Quebec, expected on February 25, 2015. The effective date of the Arrangement is expected to be March 10, 2015.
Eric Owens, President and CEO of Alexandria Minerals Corp., stated, "We are excited about the possibilities this transaction brings to Alexandria and to the shareholders of both companies, including the purchase price, effectively at $3.50 per ounce of gold equivalent, the significant increase in mineral resources under one roof, and near term growth potential of those resources."
One of the early goals with the newly acquired assets will be an updated resource estimate, compliant with National Instrument 43-101, for both the Hudvam and WIM Cu-Au-Zn-Ag deposits in northern Manitoba, as the resources estimated for those projects were last completed in 2008 at much lower metal prices.
The transaction is an all-share transaction, in which Alexandria will pay to Murgor shareholders 0.5 Alexandria share for each Murgor Share, representing a 50% premium over market price at the time of announcement. With more than 57 million shares voted, the transaction received 99.77% approval by Murgor securityholders at the meeting.
