VANCOUVER, April 30, 2018 /CNW/ - (TSX.V: BCK) –
Blind Creek Resources Ltd. ("Blind Creek" or the "Company")
reports the Company has received an Interim Order from the Supreme
Court of British Columbia (the
"Court") and has mailed its management information circular (the
"Circular") in connection with its annual and special meeting (the
"Meeting"), at which the shareholders of Blind Creek will consider
the previously announced plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement").
Please see the Company's news release of January 19, 2018 for further information.
Pursuant to the Arrangement, the Company proposes to transfer a
100% interest in its Engineer Gold Mine Project to Engineer Gold
Mines Ltd. ("Engineer Gold Mines"), a newly incorporated
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company in exchange for common
shares of Engineer Gold Mines which will be distributed to
shareholders on the reduction of stated capital of the Company on
the basis of one share of Engineer Gold for each two shares of the
Company held (the "Engineer Gold Mines Shares"). The Circular may
be viewed on www.SEDAR.com under the Company's profile and on the
Company's website at www.blindcreekresources.com.
The Company previously reported that it has received conditional
approval from the TSX Venture Exchange Inc. (TSX.V) for the
Arrangement and that the Meeting will be held on May 22nd, 2018 at 10
a.m. (Vancouver time) at
the Company's offices. In addition to consideration of the
Arrangement and a stock option plan for Engineer Gold Mines, the
shareholders will elect the directors, appoint the auditors and
consider the "rolling" stock option plan of Blind Creek. Only
Blind Creek Shareholders of record at the close of business on
April 20, 2018 will be entitled to
vote at the Special Meeting. The Arrangement is subject to
shareholder approval of not less than 66 2/3 % of the votes cast at
the Meeting, and is also subject to receipt of regulatory approval
and a final order of the Court, which the Company will seek after
the Meeting if it receives shareholder approval for the
Arrangement. The Company will set a record date to determine
eligibility to receive the Engineer Gold Mines Shares in accordance
with TSX.V policies, currently expected to be in connection with
receipt of all required stock exchange, regulatory, shareholder and
Court approvals. There can be no assurances that the
Arrangement will be completed on the terms contemplated, or at
all.
