Falkirk Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:FLK) ("Falkirk" or the "Resulting Issuer") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the "LOI") dated August 9, 2012 with Dual Enterprises Ltd. ("Dual") pursuant to which Falkirk will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Dual in exchange for common shares in Falkirk's capital (the "Transaction"), with the effect that Dual will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Falkirk. The Transaction will constitute a "reverse takeover" and a "change of business" as contemplated by the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), and this news release has been prepared to fulfill certain disclosure requirements contained within those policies. Each of Falkirk and Dual is dealing at arm's length to each other and therefore the Transaction will not be a "non-arm's length qualifying transaction", as that term is defined in Exchange Policy 2.4. A Falkirk shareholder meeting is expected to be held in November 2012 to approve the Transaction and the Share Consolidation (as defined below). Closing of the Transaction is anticipated to occur in and around November 30, 2012. Business of Dual Dual is an established logging company located in British Columbia. The company is part of the Jemi Group of Companies started over 25 years ago. Dual began as a "stump to dump" contractor, annually logging approximately 250,000 cubic meters of Crown timber plus constructing approximately 65-70 km of roads. The Jemi Group of Companies gradually moved from this model to acquiring, logging and developing private timber land in British Columbia and Ontario. Through its history, the Jemi Group has logged hundreds of thousands of acres of private timber land and developed and sold thousands of acres of its land for recreational use. Over the past two years, Dual has acquired significant logging contracts on Crown land in and around Mackenzie, British Columbia and Midway, British Columbia resulting in anticipated annual logging of over 400,000 cubic metres of timber. Full production of Dual's current logging contracts commenced in the last quarter of its year ended April 30, 2012. Dual's gross revenue for its year ended April 30, 2012 period was approximately $7.9 million and its net income for that period was approximately $144,000. Dual anticipates expansion through the acquisition of further Crown and private timber supply. Details of the Transaction Falkirk is a Tier 2 mining company listed on the Exchange. There are currently 24,553,044 common shares of Falkirk issued and outstanding. There are no issued and outstanding options or warrants to purchase shares of Falkirk.
