KELOWNA, BC, Sept. 3, 2019 /CNW/ - Rockwealth Resources Corp.
("Realgold" or the "Company") (TSXV: RWR)
announces that it has entered into a binding letter of intent dated
August 28, 2019 (the "LOI")
with Realgold Resources Corp. ("Realgold") regarding a
proposed transaction to acquire all of the issued and outstanding
securities of Realgold (the "Transaction"). The Transaction
is an arm's length transaction and will constitute a "reverse
takeover" pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the
"Exchange"). The Company will have until October 31, 2019 to conduct due diligence on
Realgold, with a view to negotiating the terms of a definitive
agreement (the "Definitive Agreement") in order to complete
the Transaction.
About Realgold Resources Corp.
Realgold has assembled an extensive land portfolio in the
Kyrgyz Republic that includes 16
projects in 28 licenses covering 274,124 ha within the highly
prolific Tien Shan gold belt. The Carlin type
potential in southwestern Kyrgyz
Republic was recognized by Doug
Kirwin, Realgold's President and CEO, and ground was
subsequently acquired by staking.
The orogenic gold deposits of the Tien Shan Mineral Belt include
some of the largest economic gold accumulations in the world.
These deposits are spread across the belt in Russia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and western China, and span the time scale from Lower to
Late Paleozoic1.
It is host to several giant gold deposits, including the world's
single largest operating gold mine (Muruntau in Uzbekistan) to the west and the giant Kumtor
mine in eastern Kyrgyzstan to the
east end of the belt. Carlin type deposits are the most
important source of gold in the United
States and the Tien Shan belt within the Kyrgyz Republic is now recognized as hosting
the 2nd largest confirmed Carlin terrain in the
world. Realgold licences cover 90% of newly recognized and
unexplored Carlin type gold belt. Mineralization hosted
on adjacent and nearby properties is not necessarily
indicative of mineralization that may be hosted on properties
subject to the Transaction.
The Transaction
Subject to the execution of a Definitive Agreement, the Company
proposes to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares
of Realgold in exchange for common shares of the Company (the
"Payment Shares"). The Payment Shares would be issued to the
shareholders of Realgold on a pro-rata basis based on a 1:1 ratio.
Pursuant to the Transaction, the shareholders of Realgold will
become shareholders of the Company. In addition, all the
outstanding common share purchase warrants of Realgold will,
subject to the rules of the Exchange, be exchanged for common share
purchase warrants of the Company based on a 1:1 ratio and on the
same economic terms and conditions as previously issued.
On or before the closing of the Transaction, it is proposed that
Realgold will complete a financing (the "Concurrent
Financing") by way of a non-brokered private placement relying
on the prospectus exemptions pursuant to National Instrument 45-106
– Prospectus Exemptions or other applicable laws, rules and
regulations, to raise a minimum of $5,000,000 and up to a maximum of $10,000,000 at an intended price of $0.35 per subscription receipt (each a
"Subscription Receipt"). Each Subscription Receipt will,
prior to the effective time of the Transaction, automatically
convert into one common share of Realgold and one half of one
common share purchase warrant of Realgold (each a
"Warrant"), with each whole Warrant exercisable into a
common share at a price of $0.46 per
share for a one year period, for no additional consideration upon
the satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions, including
the conditional approval of the Exchange for the Transaction and
satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions precedent to the
Transaction as set out in the Definitive Agreement, at $0.35 per Subscription Receipt, to raise a
minimum of gross proceeds of $5,000,000 and up to a maximum of gross proceeds
of $10,000,000, to be completed
within ninety (90) days of receiving conditional approval of the
Transaction by the Exchange.
