VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 1, 2024 /CNW/ - Nevada King Gold Corp. (TSXV: NKG) (OTCQX: NKGFF) ("Nevada King") and NV King Goldlands Inc. ("NV Goldlands") are pleased to announce that they have completed the previously announced strategic reorganization of their business pursuant to which all of Nevada King's concessions and properties with the exception of the Atlanta Gold Mine Project ("Atlanta") have been spun out to Nevada King shareholders (the "Spin-Out") through NV Goldlands.
The Spin-Out was completed by way of a statutory plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). Pursuant to the Arrangement, the holders of Nevada King common shares will receive: (i) one new Nevada King common share for each Nevada King common share they held immediately prior to the effective time of the Arrangement; and (ii) one-thirtieth of one NV Goldlands common share (each one a "NV Goldlands Share") for each Nevada King common share held immediately prior to the effective time of the Arrangement.
The Spin-Out was completed as part of a strategic reorganization to unlock value in Nevada King's large portfolio of mineral claims in the State of Nevada. The target areas along the Battle Mountain trend now held by NV Goldlands include the Lewis, Horse Mountain-Mill Creek, and Iron Point projects. In connection with the Spin-Out, Nevada King also granted NV Goldlands a 3.0% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty on all gold and silver production from Atlanta including the Atlanta resource area and non-core claims surrounding the Atlanta Gold Mine Project. The 3.0% NSR royalty on the Bobcat claims will take effect upon fulfilling the existing royalty on the Bobcat claims which is a 3.0% royalty capped at the first 4,000 ounces of gold equivalent production.
NV Goldlands will not be listed on a public stock exchange on closing of the Arrangement but will operate as a reporting issuer.
Further information regarding the Spin-Out is set out in Nevada King's information circular dated June 14, 2024 (the "Nevada King Information Circular"), which is filed under Nevada King's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.
