Platoro West Holdings announces proposed share consolidation and name change

CNSX: PWH

VANCOUVER, June 17 /CNW/ - Platoro West Holdings Ltd. (the "Company") announces that the Company proposes to consolidate all of its issued and outstanding shares on a 12 to 1 basis (the "Consolidation") as disclosed in the Company's Management Information Circular dated March 22, 2010, which has been filed on the Canadian System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) and is available for viewing under the Company's name at www.sedar.com. At the special meeting of the shareholders of the Company held on April 29, 2010, the shareholders passed a special resolution to amend the articles of the Company so that the directors may by resolution authorize the consolidation of all or any of its unissued, or fully paid, shares of the Company.

If the Consolidation is approved by the Canadian National Stock Exchange ("CNSX") and is subsequently implemented, the number of issued and outstanding common shares of the Company will be reduced from 50,486,997 common shares to approximately 4,207,250 common shares. Fractional shares remaining after giving effect to the Consolidation will be cancelled, such that shareholdings of each shareholder will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of post-consolidation common shares.

In conjunction with the Consolidation, the Company proposes to change its name from "Platoro West Holdings Inc." to "Silver Predator Corp." and has reserved the new trading symbol "SPD" for trading on the Canadian National Stock Exchange.

The Consolidation remains subject to approval by the CNSX.
