VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gold Bull Resources Corp. (TSXV: GBRC) (“Gold Bull”) is pleased to announce that Gold Bull shareholders (“Shareholders”) approved the plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) with Borealis Mining Company Limited (“Borealis”) at the annual general and special meeting held on February 28, 2025 (the “Meeting”).
At the Meeting, Shareholders were asked to consider, and if thought fit, pass a resolution (the “Arrangement Resolution”) to approve the Arrangement. Under the Arrangement, Borealis will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Gold Bull (“Gold Bull Shares”) and issue to Shareholders 0.93 of a Borealis common share for each Gold Bull Share held. For further details about the Arrangement, you can see the news release dated December 10, 2024 or review the management information circular dated January 24, 2025 posted on Gold Bull’s website and on its profile on SEDAR+.
The Arrangement Resolution required the approval of: (i) at least 66⅔% of the votes cast by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting; and (ii) at least 50% of the votes cast by Shareholders present or in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, excluding votes cast by Cherie Leeden, President and CEO of Gold Bull, in accordance with section 8.1 of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”).
A total of 5,168,721 Gold Bull Shares were voted FOR the Arrangement Resolution and a total of 25,071 Gold Bull Shares were voted AGAINST the Arrangement Resolution. The Arrangement Resolution was approved by 99.52% of the votes cast by Shareholders. Excluding votes cast by Cherie Leeden in accordance with MI 61-101, the Arrangement Resolution was approved by 99.47% of the votes cast by Shareholders. No Shareholders exercised dissent rights with respect to the Arrangement.
Cherie Leeden, President and CEO of Gold Bull, stated: “We want to thank all of our shareholders for their support received which is reflected in their 99.52% votes in favor approving this takeover. Our board was unanimously in favor of this transaction because we believe Borealis has the potential to develop Sandman in a less dilutive manner while in parallel providing Gold Bull shareholders with the upside of their Borealis gold mine asset which is nearing production. There are not many other producing gold mines in this space operating in the tier one jurisdiction of Nevada, USA.”
Gold Bull is also pleased to announce that the Supreme Court of British Columbia has issued its final order approving the Arrangement.
Gold Bull and Borealis expect the closing of the Arrangement will occur on or around March 13, 2025.
About Gold Bull
Gold Bull’s mission was to grow into a US-focused mid-tier gold exploration and development company via rapidly discovering and acquiring additional ounces and/or merger & acquisition activity. Gold Bull’s exploration hub was based in Nevada, USA, a top-tier mineral district that contains significant historical production, existing mining infrastructure and an established mining culture. Gold Bull was led by a Board and Management team with a track record of exploration and acquisition success. Gold Bull’s core asset is the Sandman Project, located in Nevada which has a 494,000 oz gold resource as per a 2021 43-101 Resource Estimate. Sandman is located 23 km south of the Sleeper Mine and boasts excellent large-scale exploration potential. Gold Bull also owns the Big Balds exploration project, also located in Nevada.
