Marketwired
Unity Energy Corp. (TSX VENTURE: UTY) is pleased to announce that
its Board of Directors has today approved the implementation of a
series of value enhancing transactions that, subject to applicable
regulatory and other approvals, will result in eligible Unity
Energy shareholders owning shares in two (2) separate companies:
Unity Energy Corp. and Patrone Gold Corp.
Unity Energy Corp. has recently established a new wholly owned
subsidiary to which it will transfer its Dickens Lake gold assets.
The Project consists of four adjoining mineral dispositions and
covers an area of over 6000ha in a region that has produced over
600,000 ounces of gold. Unity has a 100% interest in the Dickens
Lake Project, subject to a 2% NSR, of which 1.5% can be purchased
for $1,500,000. More than a hundred gold showings and four past
producers are documented in the La Ronge Gold Belt and over $70
million has been spent on gold exploration and development since
1980. Earlier this spring, Unity completed a V-TEM survey of the
Dickens Lake Project and final results and interpretation are
expected in the near term. The Company expects to undertake an
internal reorganization and work with the appropriate authorities
to transfer the Dickens Lake assets from Unity Energy to this new
wholly owned subsidiary.
Patrone Gold Corp. ("Patrone") is to become a gold exploration
company focused on Canadian and international exploration and
development. Patrone will initially hold Unity's 100% equity
interest in the Dickens Lake gold project in Saskatchewan.
The directors and senior management team of Patrone Gold Corp.
will consist of current directors and senior officers of Unity
Energy Corp.
Upon completion of the proposed internal reorganization and
subject to applicable regulatory approvals, Unity Energy Corp.
intends to distribute, by way of dividend-in-kind to current
eligible Unity shareholders, all of the shares in Patrone Gold
Corp. held by Unity Energy as part of listing the shares of Patrone
on the TSX Venture Exchange.
Immediately following the distribution of the dividend-in-kind,
Patrone intends to conduct a private placement of a minimum of up
to $750,000 to raise the balance of funds necessary to conduct
their near-term exploration and development activities and general
corporate purposes. The private placement will entitle eligible
shareholders to acquire additional shares in Patrone Gold.
Anita Algie BSc., President, CEO & Director of Unity Energy,
commented: "Positive results indicated at Dickens Lake justify this
gold asset creating its own market and raising funds to further
exploration and add shareholder value. Unity Energy's roots shall
remain grounded in energy through exploration of its significant
portfolio of prospective uranium properties in the Athabasca
basin."
Unity Energy anticipates completing these transactions by
September 2011. The initial internal reorganization is expected to
be completed in July 2011, following which Unity intends to file
the preliminary prospectus with the Canadian securities regulatory
authorities for Patrone Gold Corp. which will contain detailed
information on the new company as well as the terms of the
dividends-in-kind and rights offerings. Completion of the proposed
transaction is subject to a number of conditions including the
approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and other applicable
securities regulatory authorities.
On Behalf of the Board of Directors of Unity Energy Corp.
Anita Algie BSc. Hon. President.
