OutdoorPartner Media Corporation Signs Letter of Intent for Proposed Reverse Take-Over Transaction Involving Bay Minerals Ltd...

Marketwired Canada


NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISSEMINATION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE
SERVICES


OutdoorPartner Media Corporation (TSX VENTURE:OPX.H) ("OPX") announced today
that it has entered into a letter of intent dated February 25, 2013 to complete
a business combination (the "Transaction") with Bay Minerals Ltd. ("Bay
Minerals") and Halston Exploration Inc. ("Halston"), a wholly-owned subsidiary
of AXG Mining Ltd. ("AXG"), a public company listed on the Australian Stock
Exchange.


AGX, through Halston, holds an exclusive option to acquire up to a 75% interest
in the Condoroma property located in the "Cordillera Huaylla Apacheta" of
Southern Peru (the "Condoroma Property"). Bay Minerals is a newly incorporated
company based in Toronto, Ontario. Prior to completion of the Transaction, Bay
Minerals will acquire all of the outstanding securities of Halston (the "Halston
Acquisition"). Upon completion of the Transaction, Bay Minerals and Halston (or
an entity resulting from the amalgamation of Bay Minerals and Halston) will be
wholly-owned by OPX, and this combined entity (the "Resulting Issuer") will
carry on the business of Halston, which is the exploration and development of
Condoroma Property.


Transaction Summary

In accordance with an undertaking provided by OPX to the Ontario Securities
Commission, as a condition precedent to completing the Transaction, OPX will
file a preliminary long form prospectus and final long form prospectus (the
"Prospectus"), which Prospectus will contain disclosure relating to the
Condoroma Property, OPX, Bay Minerals, Halston, the Resulting Issuer and the
Transaction, generally.


Prior to, or in conjunction with, the completion of the Transaction, it is
anticipated that Bay Minerals will complete a brokered private placement of
subscription receipts ("Subscription Receipts") at a price of $0.10 per
Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of up to $1,500,000 (the "Private
Placement"). Bay Minerals will issue an additional 15,000,000 Subscription
Receipts (with a deemed value of $0.10 per Subscription Receipt) to AXG in
connection with the Halston Acquisition.


Immediately prior to the closing of the Transaction, following the satisfaction
of the escrow release conditions to be set forth in the subscription receipt
indenture governing the Subscription Receipts (the "Escrow Release Conditions"),
the Subscription Receipts will be exchanged for units of Bay Minerals ("Bay
Units"). Each Bay Unit will be comprised of one common share of Bay Minerals and
one-half of one Bay Minerals common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant,
a "Bay Warrant"). Each Bay Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire
one common share of Bay Minerals at a price of $0.10 for a period of two years
following the closing of the Private Placement. In connection with the closing
of the Transaction, all such Bay Minerals common shares will ultimately be
exchanged for post-Consolidation (as defined below) common shares of the
Resulting Issuer ("Resulting Issuer Shares") on a one for one basis and all such
Bay Warrants will ultimately be exchanged for warrants of the Resulting Issuer
on the same terms as the Bay Warrants.


OPX, Halston and Bay Minerals are each governed by the Business Corporations Act
(Ontario). The Transaction is an arm's length transaction and will constitute a
reverse take-over under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V").
It is anticipated that the Resulting Issuer will be named "Bay Minerals Ltd." or
such other name as may be determined by Bay Minerals.


OPX currently has 47,963,671 common shares issued and outstanding, as well as
572,000 stock options, such options to be cancelled in connection with the
Transaction. Prior to the completion of the Transaction and subject to
applicable regulatory and shareholder approvals, among other things, OPX has
agreed to consolidate its outstanding common shares on a 1 (new) for 11 (old)
basis (the "Consolidation").


Following completion of the Transaction, and assuming the Private Placement is
for gross proceeds of $1,500,000, the Resulting Issuer will have approximately
38.4 million Resulting Issuer Shares issued and outstanding, of which
approximately 11.4% will be held by current OPX shareholders, 49.5% will be held
by Bay Minerals shareholders (including investors under the Private Placement)
and 39.1% will be held by AXG, on a non-diluted basis.


The letter of intent is non-binding with respect to commercial terms, but
includes binding obligations typical in the circumstances, including those
relating to a period of exclusive dealing and confidentiality. The proposed
Transaction is subject to a number of terms and conditions, including the
entering into by the parties of a definitive agreement with respect to the
Transaction (such agreement to include representations, warranties, conditions
and covenants typical for a transaction of this nature), obtaining a receipt
from the Ontario Securities Commission for the Prospectus, the completion of
satisfactory due diligence investigations, the approval of the directors of each
of OPX, Halston and Bay Minerals, the approval of the shareholders of OPX, and
the approval of the TSX-V and other applicable regulatory authorities.


The parties intend that the Resulting Issuer will be listed on the TSX-V as a
mining issuer following completion of the Transaction. Trading in the common
shares of OPX will remain halted pending the satisfaction of all applicable
requirements of the TSX-V. There can be no assurance that trading in the common
shares of OPX will resume prior to the completion of the Transaction. Further
details concerning the Transaction, Bay Minerals and Halston (including
additional financial information and technical information in respect of the
Condoroma Property) and other matters will be announced if and when a definitive
agreement is reached.

there can be no assurance an exemption will be obtained. If an exemption from
the sponsorship requirements is not obtained, a sponsor will be identified at a
later date. An agreement to act as sponsor in respect of the Transaction should

completed on February 9, 2010. As a result, OPX is a public company without an
