VANCOUVER, BC and TORONTO, Feb. 26, 2024 /CNW/ - Barsele Minerals Corp. ("Barsele") (TSXV: BME) and Gold Line Resources Ltd. ("Gold Line") (TSXV: GLDL) are pleased to announce, further to the news release dated December 13, 2023, the successful completion of the merger transaction pursuant to which Barsele has acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Gold Line (the "Gold Line Shares") by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement").

Pursuant to the Arrangement, the holders of the issued and outstanding Gold Line Shares received 0.7382 (the "Exchange Ratio") of a Barsele common share (each whole share a "Barsele Share") for each one (1) Gold Line Share held. Immediately prior to completion of the Arrangement, PI Financial Corp. was issued 1,151,450 Gold Line Shares at a deemed price of $0.0865 per Gold Line Share, which converted to 850,000 Barsele Shares upon completion of the Arrangement, in satisfaction of a financial advisory fee of $100,000 payable by Gold Line. PI Financial Corp. was also entitled to receive a cash fee of $75,000 from Gold Line. Upon completion of the Arrangement, Barsele issued an aggregate of 35,747,716 Barsele Shares to former holders of Gold Line Shares.

All common share purchase warrants of Gold Line outstanding at the effective time of the Arrangement now entitle the holders thereof to acquire Barsele Shares, as adjusted by the Exchange Ratio, on substantially the same terms and conditions. All incentive stock options of Gold Line outstanding at the time of completion of the Arrangement were exchanged for equivalent securities to purchase Barsele Shares, as adjusted by the Exchange Ratio. 

Concurrent Private Placement
In connection with the Arrangement, Barsele issued a total of 8,082,399 subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts") of Barsele at a price of C$0.15 per Subscription Receipt to raise aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $1.21 million (the "Concurrent Private Placement"). On completion of the Arrangement, the escrow release conditions in respect of the Subscription Receipts were satisfied and the net proceeds were released to Barsele, and in connection therewith each Subscription Receipt automatically converted today, for no additional consideration and without further action on part of the holder thereof, into one unit (each, a "Unit") of Barsele. Each Unit consists of one Barsele Share (each, a "Sub Receipt Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Barsele Share (each, a "Warrant Share") at a price equal to $0.25 per share for a period of two years following the date of issuance of the Warrant. The proceeds from the Concurrent Private Placement will be used by Barsele for expenses related to the Arrangement, working capital and for general corporate purposes.

The Sub Receipt Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares are subject to a statutory four-month hold period following the closing date of the relevant tranche of the Concurrent Private Placement.

Newly Constituted Board of Directors
As previously announced and as result of the Arrangement, the newly constituted board of directors is comprised of two directors from each of the previous Barsele and Gold Line boards and one new independent director, for a total of 5 directors. Effective upon completion of the Arrangement, the Barsele board consists of Toby Pierce as Non-Executive Chairman, Taj Singh (President & CEO), Gary Cope, Ross Wilmot (CFO) and Marc Legault as a new independent director. Mr. Legault is a geologist and professional engineer and has spent 34 years working at Agnico Eagle Mines Limited ("Agnico"), including experience on the Barsele Project, and retired from Agnico in 2022 as a Senior Vice-President.

Resultant Share Capital and Delisting of the Gold Line Shares
Prior to the completion of the Concurrent Private Placement and the Arrangement, there were 139,583,827 Barsele Shares issued and outstanding on a non-diluted basis. As a result of the Arrangement and the Concurrent Private Placement, there are 183,413,942 Barsele Shares issued and outstanding on a non-diluted basis. It is anticipated that the Gold Line Shares will be de-listed from the TSX Venture Exchange as of the close of trading on or about February 27, 2024, and that Gold Line will apply to the Canadian securities regulators to cease to be a reporting issuer thereafter.

PI Financial Corp. acted as financial advisor to Gold Line. Stikeman Elliott LLP acted as legal counsel to Barsele and Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP acted as legal counsel to Gold Line.
