Minera Alamos and Corex Gold Combine to Create a Leading Mexican Gold Company
Momentum Public Relations
Press Release: January 30 2018
Minera Alamos Inc. (“Minera Alamos”) (TSX VENTURE:MAI) and Corex Gold Corporation (“Corex”) (TSX VENTURE:CGE) are pleased to announce that they have entered into a definitive arrangement agreement dated January 30, 2018 (the “Agreement”) to combine the two companies, creating a well-funded, multi-asset, Mexican gold development company (the “Transaction”). The combined company will have a market capitalization of approximately C$50 million, approximately C$6 million in cash and a portfolio of three high quality gold-silver development assets, each offering near-term production potential and low capital cost advantages.
Under the terms of the Agreement, each Corex shareholder (“Corex Shareholder”) will be entitled to receive 0.95 common shares of Minera Alamos (“Minera Alamos Shares”) in exchange for each Corex share (“Corex Share”) held. Upon completion of the transaction, existing Minera Alamos and Corex shareholders will each own approximately 50% of the outstanding shares of the combined company (the “Company”).
Transaction Highlights
- Continued accretive and aggressive growth through acquisitions: The arrangement with Corex represents the second major transaction completed by Minera Alamos in the last three months following the announcement of the company’s strategic partnership with Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd. and stated goal to build a significant new gold producer in Latin America.
- Multi-asset gold company with growing production potential: The combined company will have three advanced-stage gold-silver assets in Mexico supporting the vision of becoming a near‑term gold producer with an expanding resource base.
- Expanded management and technical capabilities: The proven mine development team and board of directors of Minera Alamos will be further enhanced by the continuing involvement of Chester Millar, Canadian Mining Hall of Fame Inductee and former Chairman of Eldorado Gold Corporation, Glamis Gold Ltd., Alamos Gold Inc. and Castle Gold Corporation.
- Strong Shareholder Support: Minera Alamos has entered into voting and support agreements with each director and senior officer of Corex and certain significant shareholders representing approximately 26% of the outstanding Corex Shares.
- Real Property Synergies: Corex’s Santana claim area is contiguous with Minera Alamos’ Los Verdes mineral claims and there is an immediate opportunity to continue exploration of the Santana gold structures drilled to date which may extend into the Los Verdes area.
Darren Koningen, President and CEO of Minera Alamos, said, “The combination with Corex is the next phase of our previously announced strategy of acquiring and advancing low development cost gold projects. The Santana project is highly complementary to our existing portfolio and offers tremendous resource upside, coupled with a unique ability to fast-track the Company’s transformation into a gold producer utilizing the existing heap leach infrastructure already in place at site. We are well-positioned to grow quickly into a leading junior gold producer with significant exploration upside.”
Doug Ramshaw, President and CEO of Corex, stated, “I am extremely excited for the prospects of the combined company. We are reuniting the Castle Gold development team led by Chester Millar and Darren Koningen which successfully drove the development of the El Castillo gold mine subsequently acquired by Argonaut Gold for C$130 million. For Corex shareholders we expect the transaction will allow for the accelerated development of Santana towards a commercial scale production decision and we will also benefit from the pipeline of high quality development assets in Minera Alamos.”
Benefits to Corex Shareholders
- Diversifies asset base with two additional high quality precious metals assets contributing toward a portfolio approach to future production
- Access to expanded technical team with proven gold mine development and operational team led by Darren Koningen
- Strengthens balance sheet, providing financial resources for advancement of Santana production initiatives and longer-term exploration opportunities
- Enhances shareholder base with long-term funding partners to evaluate and execute on medium-term growth plans
- Increases trading liquidity, strengthens capital markets profile, and provides a strong platform for future acquisitions
Benefits to Minera Alamos Shareholders
- Adds advanced stage asset to portfolio to help fund future growth: Following the completion of the current test mining program the combined management group will look to move quickly towards commercial production.
- Doubles market capitalization, allowing Minera Alamos to continue to pursue its acquisition and development strategy
- Strengthens Board of Directors with the expected additions of Chester Millar, a heap leach pioneer and member of the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame, and Doug Ramshaw, a mining geologist and capital markets professional with more than two decades of global industry experience
- Boosts Minera Alamos’s exploration pipeline with opportunities for significant resource growth and regional exploration across three assets
Transaction Summary
The proposed business combination will be completed by way of share exchange pursuant to a statutory plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) resulting in Corex becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Minera Alamos, and will require, among other things, the approval of at least 66 2/3 percent of the votes cast by shareholders of Corex at a special meeting expected to be held in April 2018 (the “Corex Meeting”). The Transaction will also require approval by a “majority of the minority” of the shareholders of Corex pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Securityholders in Special Transactions. Shareholders of Corex representing approximately 26% of the issued and outstanding Corex Shares, including all of the directors and senior officers, as well as certain shareholders of Corex, have entered into voting and support agreements with Minera Alamos in support of the Transaction.
The Arrangement will also provide for the issuance by Minera Alamos of replacement stock options to Corex optionholders who do not exercise their Corex options prior to the effective time of the Arrangement, at exercise prices adjusted by the exchange ratio. Under the Arrangement all existing warrants of Corex will become exercisable to acquire Minera Alamos common shares at exercise prices adjusted by the exchange ratio.
In addition to required shareholder and court approvals, the Transaction is subject to applicable regulatory approvals including approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the satisfaction of certain other customary closing conditions in transactions of this nature.
The Agreement includes customary provisions including non-solicitation provisions, a right to match any superior proposal, a “fiduciary out” clause and a C$600,000 termination fee payable to Minera Alamos in certain circumstances if the Transaction is not completed. Full details of the Transaction will be included in the management information of Corex describing the matters to be considered at the Corex Meeting, which is expected to be mailed to the shareholders of Corex in early March 2018, and made available on SEDAR under Corex’s issuer profile at www.sedar.com.

Company Project Portfolio
The Company’s project portfolio offers a compelling mix of potential future production and a pipeline of late‑stage development projects all within Mexico.
Santana (Corex) – Gold heap leach pilot test production underway
Corex’s flagship property is the 100% owned Santana Project (“Santana”), located 50 km southwest of Alamos Gold Inc.’s Mulatos Mine in Sonora, Mexico. The property spans an 8,500 hectare land package in the Sierra Madre Occidental Range, one of the most prolific precious metals regions globally. Surrounded by excellent infrastructure, Santana is permitted for Corex’s ongoing bulk-sampling and heap leach studies. To date approximately 23,000 tonnes of mineralized material have been leached under the bulk test program with the first gold sale of 220 oz reported in October 2017 and a pending second gold sale that will allow for the reconciliation of final gold recoveries. The results to date from the initial bulk test have confirmed or exceeded management’s expectations for gold recovery and leach times as well as reagent consumptions.
Santana is envisioned as an open pit heap leach project with a large contiguous land package containing numerous exploration targets property-wide. The project claim area is also contiguous with Minera Alamos’ Los Verdes mineral claims and the Santana gold structures drilled to date may extend into the Los Verdes area.
La Fortuna(Minera Alamos) – Permitting underway with PEA expected in Q1-2018
La Fortuna is located in the northwestern corner of the State of Durango, Mexico, about 70 kilometers northeast of Culiacan, Sinaloa where Minera Alamos operates its Mexican office. The property includes the historic La Fortuna mine together with surrounding concessions, totaling +6,200 hectares. All key technical studies (resource, mine planning, metallurgy, tailings design, etc.) have been completed for the project Main Zone and the company has already acquired a used processing plant that can serve as the core of the site infrastructure requirements. Environmental permit applications have been submitted and are pending.
In addition to the Fortuna Main Zone, several other mineralized areas have been identified and demonstrated via surface sampling to be gold-bearing. Specifically, distinct zones of mineralization have been identified along parallel structures corresponding to the primary regional faulting in this region of Mexico (NW-SE) many of which contain historical mine workings and have been sampled and mapped at surface. Minera Alamos is planning to initiate the first phase of exploratory drilling in Q1-2018.
Guadalupe de los Reyes (Minera Alamos) – Engineering underway to transition to gold heap leach development strategy
Optioned in November of 2017 from Vista Gold Corp., Guadalupe de los Reyes is a gold-silver project located in Mexico’s Sierra Madre Range in Sinaloa, three hours from the company’s Mexican office in Culiacan. The main Guadalupe de los Reyes underground mine was operational from the late 1800s to the 1950’s and to date is the most significant source of gold production in the district. It is historically estimated to have produced approximately 500-600,000 ounces of gold and 40 million ounces of silver over its operational life at reported grades of +10 g/t Au and +500 g/t Ag*1.
Most of the historical production was derived from a single section of mineralized structures over a length of approximately 2 km. At least eight other mineralized zones have been identified at site along three structural arms of the same large regional system. In total, the system mineralization has been mapped at surface over a total combined distance of approximately 10 km. Modern drilling was re-initiated at the Guadalupe project area in the 1990s and was targeted at defining significant areas of shallow and lower grade gold/silver mineralization in areas surrounding the historical Guadalupe underground operations.
The immediate goal for Guadalupe de los Reyes is to utilize the extensive in-house technical expertise to evaluate the project’s potential to be developed as a low capital heap leaching operation.
*1The information regarding grade was obtained from historical information (C.W. Vaupell, February 1936 and Minas de San Luis, S.A. de C.V. report based on National Registry records).

Sage Gold Receives Final Tranche of Clavos Financing
Momentum Public Relations
Press Release: July 27, 2017
TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwired – July 27, 2017) – Sage Gold Inc. (“Sage” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE:SGX) has drawn down the third and final tranche of the gold prepayment facility from Cartesian Royalty Holdings Pte. Ltd. (“CRH“) to fund the ongoing re-opening of its Clavos gold project (“Clavos“) in Timmins, Ontario.
The third and final tranche draw down of $3.26 million was subject to certain conditions which have been fully satisfied. The CRH gold prepayment facility has provided $9.65 million to Sage, of which $7.22 million has now been received to fund the ongoing start-up and capital expenditures at Clavos.
Nigel Lees, President and CEO commented, “We are pleased to receive the final tranche of the gold prepayment financing. Our mine restart program is going well and the underground workings are in excellent condition. We are on time and on budget to ship to the mill for processing mineralized material in September.”
The historical underground workings include roughly 7 kilometres of underground development and extend down to the 300 metre level. Historical expenditures incurred by the previous operator and the Company prior to the restart of Clavos have exceeded $70.0 million.
Mine dewatering at Clavos commenced in the beginning of 2017 and is currently at the 225 metre level. The dewatering of the entire underground infrastructure is expected to be complete by the fourth quarter of this year. Currently, several stopes are available for mining above the 225 metre level. The Company is beginning to stockpile mineralized material extracted from the 150 metre East level using a combination of broken stope material that was left in place by the previous operator, and material developed through Sage’s ongoing definition drilling. An extensive definition drilling program has been underway since May 2017 and the exploration phase of the planned 9,300 metre underground drilling program will commence next month. The Company will provide a full operational update and initial drilling results on Clavos shortly.
Sage currently plans to complete a reserve estimate and a pre-feasibility study on Clavos. In the event that a production decision is made that is not based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101, readers are cautioned that there is increased uncertainty and higher risk of economic and technical failure associated with such a production decision.
Robert Ritchie P.Eng., the General Manager of the Clavos Project, is a qualified person (“QP”) under National Instrument 43-101 and has reviewed and approves the technical content of this news release.

King’s Bay Commences Exploration Program at Trump Island Copper-Cobalt Project
King’s Bay Commences Exploration Program at Trump Island Copper-Cobalt Project
Momentum Public Relations
Press Release: July 26, 2017
Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) – King’s Bay Resources Corporation (TSX.V: KBG), (FSE: KGB1), a mineral exploration and development company based in Vancouver Canada, is pleased to announce that it has received exploration permit approval and will commence an exploration program on its 100{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} owned, Trump Island Copper-Cobalt Project on the northern coast of Newfoundland.
King’s Bay has assembled a technical field team to immediately investigate the historical geologic data from the past producing copper-cobalt mine at North Trump Island. Phase 1 of the program will include a localized geophysical survey, grab sampling in existing mine shaft and reconnaissance of the remainder of the island for new showings. Pending positive results, Phase 2 of the exploration program will potentially include a drilling program.
Property Overview
The North Trump Island Property consists of 8 mineral claims encompassing an area of 2 square kilometers and is located 7 kilometers south of town of Twillingate, Newfoundland and Labrador. The property is accessible by boat 1.5 kilometers east from the nearest boat launch at Tizzard’s Harbour on NL Hwy 345.
The property’s history dates back to the mid 1860’s when a 20-foot (6.1 m) shaft was sunk on a mineralized zone of massive chalcopyrite. At the bottom of the shaft, it was reported that the mineralized zone expanded with depth but, due to limited technology, no further excavation could be safely continued. Follow up grab sampling in 1999 by G. Lewis, an experienced local prospector, revealed mineralization assaying up to 3.80{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Cu, 0.30{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Co, 2.90 g/t Au and 10.9 g/t Ag near the old Clymo mine shaft. The property has not been drilled to date. The compilation of the recent 1998-99 field work done by Lewis suggests that a more detailed exploration program is warranted.
Exploration History
In 1863 Nicholas Clymo, a miner of Cornwall, United Kingdom visited the area and sunk a pit to a depth of 20 feet (6.1 m) which followed a 3 feet (0.9 m) wide mineralized zone that was said to increase in thickness with depth. He reported that a shipment of high grade copper-cobalt ore was shipped to Swansea, England as documented in the Newfoundland Provincial Mineral Rights Database. This shipment was said to be worth “40 pounds per fathom” (Clymo, 1863). In 1953, J. Kalliokoski of the Newfoundland Geologic Survey headed up a mapping and prospecting program for Newmont Mining Company in the area but no sample assays were reported. In the 1990s, G. Lewis conducted prospecting and limited rock and soil grab samples and filed a first-year assessment report in 1999 with the Newfoundland and Labrador Mineral Titles Branch.

Arctic Star Confirms Diamonds in a New Kimberlite Field, Finland
Arctic Star Confirms Diamonds in a New Kimberlite Field, Finland
Momentum Public Relations
Press Release: July 12, 2017
“Arctic Star views this new Project as a unique opportunity to advance a new diamond district“, says Buddy Doyle, VP Exploration of Arctic Star. “The 100{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce}-owned Project offers diamond bearing kimberlites that allow for immediate further work to assess their economic potential. The Project is road accessible, and located on excellent infrastructure in mining friendly Finland.“
Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – July 12, 2017) – Arctic Star Exploration Corp. (TSXV: ADD) (FSE: 82A1) (WKN: A2DFY5) (“Arctic Star” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has agreed to acquire a 100{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} interest in a 243Ha Exploration Permit over the Black Wolf (Masta Susi) and the White Wolf (Valkoinen Susi) diamond bearing kimberlites (together the “Wolf kimberlites”) in northern Finland. The Exploration Permit is being acquired via a Share Exchange Agreement with the Finnish holding company (transaction details below).
Furthermore, the Company has filed application for an Exploration Reservation centered on the acquired Exploration Permit. The Reservation is approximately 95,700 hectares in size, and it provides Arctic Star with exclusive rights to acquire additional exploration permits for a 2 year period.
The combined regional exploration and diamondiferous kimberlite property has been named the Timantti Project (Timantti is Finnish for “diamond”).
Mr. Roy Spencer, who discovered the Wolf kimberlites also led the team that discovered the Grib Diamond Mine near Archangelsk, Russian Federation, has joined Arctic Star’s Board. “Kimberlites are likely to occur in fields – also known as clusters – which typically contain 30 or more separate kimberlites. The Wolf kimberlites are just the first discoveries in a more extensive cluster,” according to Roy Spencer. Roy continues: “There is good evidence for the existence of this field in the public domain. This data shows regional distribution of kimberlitic indicator minerals and diamonds in surficial tills. The Exploration Reservation will allow Arctic Star to explore the entire region”.
A 43-101 technical report titled, “Geological Report on the Foriet Diamond Property, Finland” authored by Kevin R. Kivi, P.Geo, of KIVI Geoscience Inc. has been filed by the Company on SEDAR. The author confirmed the diamond-bearing nature of the Wolf kimberlites by submitting samples collected from kimberlite float in overburden during a due diligence site visit. Microdiamond results are shown in Table 1.

Microlithics Laboratories Inc., of Thunder Bay, ON (“Microlithics”) is independent of the issuer, and is not ISO accredited. Kevin Kivi, P.Geo. has audited Microlithics to verify sample preparation and analytical methods for diamond recovery were appropriate.
Mr. Doyle continues “the opportunity for an economic discovery at Timantti is substantially improved by easier access than companies face in in northern Canada and Siberia. The Wolf kimberlites represent the first discoveries in a possibly more extensive diamondiferous kimberlite field.”
“Both Roy and Buddy have led Tier 1, major company diamond mine discovery teams, and previously collaborated on diamond projects in Finland and on the development of the Lihqobong Diamond Mine in Lesotho,” commented Mr. Patrick Power, President and CEO of Arctic Star. “Roy’s extensive local knowledge and experience will mean we can hit the ground running in Finland, and we expect to commence work immediately upon closing of the transaction.”
The Wolf kimberlites were discovered by European Diamonds PLC in 2005. The discovery team was led by Mr. Spencer. European Diamonds made the discoveries by drilling a low-magnitude magnetic high anomaly at the head of a prominent G10 pyrope garnet-bearing kimberlitic indicator mineral (“KIM”) train they had traced over 30km. In total eight (8) angled diamond drill holes were completed on the bodies. Some 41.2kg of kimberlite, which comprised pyroclastic and hypabyssal phases, were collected. In September 2005 European reported “microdiamond analysis at the laboratories of Kennecott Canada Exploration in Thunder Bay, Canada, identified a total of 42 small diamonds between 0.15 and 0.88 mm in size from 4 samples totaling 41.2kg in weight. Sample processing was performed to the ISO/IEC17025 standard. Eleven of the 42 diamonds have a longest axis equal to or greater than 0.5mm with the largest stone having a long axis of 0.88mm. Approximately 26{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} of the stones were white and some 38{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} were octahedrons“.
In 2006 European Diamonds changed its name to Kopane Diamond PLC. An 8.8t kimberlite sample was extracted from the Wolf kimberlites from two shallow backhoe trenches. These samples were run through a gravity separation circuit at the Finnish government facility in Outokumpu. 1.25 carats of stones greater than 1mm were recovered. The largest stone recovered was 0.09 carats.
Buddy Doyle further comments, “The high microdiamond count, 77 stones (greater than 0.15mm), from the two small samples totaling 60.1kgs (European plus Arctic Star Caustic Fusion samples) is a significant result. Backhoe trenching results are significant because they show the Wolf pipes contain diamonds of over 1mm.
The Wolf kimberlites occur on the Fennoscandian Shield which hosts the world class (multi-billion dollar revenue) diamond mines at the Arkhangelskaya kimberlite (Lomonosov Mine) and Grib kimberlite (Grib Mine), both near Arkhangelsk Russia (450km East of Wolf). In Finland the diamond bearing Kuopio kimberlite field occurs on the exposed Archaean Karelian Craton segment of the Fennoscandian Shield, south of the Timantti Project.
Arctic Star believes that the diamond bearing Wolf kimberlites signify the first discoveries in a new diamond bearing kimberlite field. This view is supported by public data showing “cloud” of KIMs distributed across an area that is some 80km wide and roughly centered on the Wolf kimberlites.
Patrick Power, President and CEO comments, “I believe that a commanding land position around the Wolf kimberlites is the key to ensuring our shareholders have maximum exposure to discovery in this new and exciting diamond district, which we believe offers high potential for numerous further diamond-bearing kimberlite discoveries. This to me is the most exciting aspect of the Timantti project.“
After closing the acquisition, the next steps are to quickly gain a better understanding of the Wolf kimberlites. The Arctic Star field visit confirmed the Wolf kimberlites contain both pyroclastic (formed near surface) and hypabyssal (formed at depth) kimberlite types. Arctic Star plans to complete detailed magnetic, gravity and EM (electro-magnetic) geophysical ground surveys, which will be used to target further drilling. Drilling will help define the shape and tonnage of each kimberlite and collect more material for caustic fusion analysis for microdiamonds. The microdiamond distribution will determine the parameters of a bulk sample (to determine diamond grade and value).
To swiftly discover more kimberlites on the Timantti Project, Arctic plans to fly airborne geophysical surveys to cover the entire region that hosts KIMs. The Company will improve targeting by detailed ground follow up of the indicator mineral anomalies in the area.
Arctic Star has entered into a Share Exchange Agreement dated effective June 7, 2017 and agreed to issue 14,500,000 common shares at a deemed price of $0.20 per share for all the right, title and interest to Foriet Oy, a Finnish company that has the 243Ha exploration permit over the Wolf kimberlites in North-Eastern Finland. 10,000,000 of the Arctic Star shares are to be issued to Dragon Equities Ltd., a UK company, which indirectly owns Foriet Oy, and 4,500,000 shares will be issued to the beneficial owners of a joint venture partner of Foriet Oy. On completion of the Share Exchange, Foriet Oy will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Arctic Star.
In addition to the 4 month hold period imposed by securities regulation, all shares issued in the transaction will be subject to a Value Securities Escrow Agreement whereby the shares are released over a 3 year period. Closing of the Share Exchange Agreement is subject to TSX-V approval.
The Company welcomes Mr. Roy Spencer and Mr. Scott Eldridge to the Board of Directors.
In addition to Mr. Spencer’s previously mentioned accomplishments, Roy is a GSSA Member and a Fellow of the AusIMM. Roy joined De Beers upon graduation from high school in 1966 and has been involved with exploration and deposit evaluation for gemstones and other commodities throughout his career. Roy’s tertiary education was at the University of Natal and Rhodes University in South Africa, and is a member of the Geological Society of South Africa and a Fellow of the Aus.I.M.M. As technical director of Peregrine Diamonds, he discovered the first kimberlites on the Pilbara craton in Western Australia in 1989, and as Leader of the Owners Team for Archangel Diamond Corporation he was largely responsible for the discovery of the world class Grib kimberlite in far northern Russia (February, 1996). In 1998, Roy created and raised the seed finance for Ilmari Exploration Oy to explore for gold, base metals and diamonds on the Karelian Craton in Finland. Ilmari went public in 2000, and discovered the Lentiira kimberlite cluster in central Finland in 2003.
In 2006, as CEO of London-based diamond explorer European Diamonds, Roy led the Owners Team which brought the Liqhobong kimberlite (Lesotho) into commercial production on time and under budget. In mid-2007, Roy left European, a company which had evolved into a successful mid-tier diamond producer and marketer after having raised £23 million over a 6-year period. Since that time Roy has continued in gemstone exploration and deposit evaluation in Africa, Finland and western Russia for a variety of junior and senior mining companies.
Scott Eldridge is experienced in the financial industry focused on the resource sector. He is a co-founder, President & CEO of Euroscandic International Group Inc., a private company offering accounting and investment banking services to natural resource companies.
