Goldeye Explorations Agrees to Be Acquired by Treasury Metals

 

 

 

 

 

Goldeye Explorations Limited (TSX-V:GGY) is pleased to announce that it has agreed to a proposal with respect to the acquisition of the Company by Treasury Metals Inc. (TSX:TML)  Given the complementary nature of Treasury’s development stage portfolio, and Goldeye’s exploration assets located in Northwestern Ontario, Goldeye believes that there is a compelling case for the combination of Treasury and Goldeye and that such a combination would be mutually beneficial to both sets of shareholders.

 

 

The Proposal contemplates that Treasury and Goldeye will enter into a business combination pursuant to a structure to be mutually agreed.

 

 

Pursuant to the Proposed Transaction, consideration shall consist of the issuance of common shares in the capital of Treasury for 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Goldeye at an exchange ratio of 0.100 Treasury Shares for each Goldeye common share held. On that basis, the Consideration in respect of the Proposed Transaction equates to a deemed price of C$0.065 per Goldeye common share based on the closing price of the Shares on July 8, 2016 and represents a 44.4% premium to the closing price of Goldeye common shares on July 8, 2016 of C$0.045. In total, Treasury will issue approximately 5,005,359 common shares.

 

The Proposed Transaction will be contingent on the negotiation of a definitive agreement which will contain usual and customary terms and conditions.

 

 

Goldeye’s principal asset is the Weebigee Project, a high-grade gold project located near Sandy Lake in Northwestern Ontario. Goldeye’s most recent exploration program, consisting of a 2,200 metre shallow drill program, reported significant gold results. The Weebigee Project is subject to an earn-in option and joint-venture agreement between GPM Metals Inc. and Goldeye.

 

 

Robin Luke Webster, President and CEO of Goldeye, comments: “the Proposed Transaction provides Goldeye’s shareholders with a significant premium based on the Company’s recent share price and also provides shareholders with substantial upside potential through exposure to Treasury’s development-stage Goliath Gold Project. Goldeye will also benefit from the extensive experience of the Treasury team with an integrated group working to manage Goldeye’s Weebigee Project. I look forward to working with the Treasury team to finalize a definitive agreement.”

 

 

As part of the Proposal, Treasury has agreed to make available to Goldeye aggregate funds of C$150,000 on such terms and conditions as mutually agreed to by Treasury and Goldeye, in order to provide Goldeye with interim working capital. Treasury shall have the right to elect to convert the Loan into common shares of Goldeye at a deemed price of C$0.055 per Goldeye common share at any time prior to the closing date of the Proposed Transaction.

 

 

 

Treasury and Goldeye have agreed to an exclusivity period until August 1, 2016 during which due diligence will be conducted and the Definitive Agreement finalized. In the event that Goldeye terminates the Proposal on or prior to August 1, 2016 for any reason, Goldeye shall pay to Treasury a one-time break-fee in the amount of C$250,000. The transaction is subject to all necessary shareholder, regulatory, and stock exchange approvals.
