The Transaction also remains subject to the approval of the TSXV.
 

Amalco will retain the name Golden Share Mining Corporation. Amalco’s Board of Directors will be comprised of four members, two members appointed by Silvore Fox (Ge (Anna) Mao, Vice President of Sinotech and General Manager of Beijing Donia, as Chairperson and Wenshan (Wilson) Zhang, Chief Geologist of Beijing Donia, as director) and two members appointed by Golden Share (Philippe Giaro and Christian Guilbaud). The new management team will include Philippe Giaro as President and Chief Executive Officer, Laurence Huss as Vice-President Exploration and Hua (Helen) Gao as Chief Financial Officer.

President and Chief Executive Officer Philippe Giaro commented:
 

“We are very pleased to enter into this Transaction with the support of Silvore Fox’s cornerstone investor Beijing Donia, a subsidiary of Sinotech as well as our principal shareholder, Lake Shore Gold Corp.. Golden Share’s objective has always been to develop its precious metal projects in Canada and this Transaction provides our team with a technically focused and financially very solid partner sharing our corporate objectives for the benefit of shareholders. Several meetings with Sinotech and Beijing Donia’s management teams in Canada and China as well as my recent visit of one of Sinotech’s operating mine in Northern China confirmed this common vision. It is equally important to note that, beyond our technical affinities, Beijing Donia and Sinotech share our Canadian mining culture through their corporate history with Canadian listed junior companies. They have notably recently been involved in the financing of Nickel North Exploration for which they also provide technical and corporate support. We look forward to further developing Golden Share with the support this new partner”.
