KELOWNA, BC, Sept. 3, 2019 /CNW/ - Rockwealth Resources Corp. ("Realgold" or the "Company") (TSXV: RWR) announces that it has entered into a binding letter of intent dated August 28, 2019 (the "LOI") with Realgold Resources Corp. ("Realgold") regarding a proposed transaction to acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Realgold (the "Transaction"). The Transaction is an arm's length transaction and will constitute a "reverse takeover" pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"). The Company will have until October 31, 2019 to conduct due diligence on Realgold, with a view to negotiating the terms of a definitive agreement (the "Definitive Agreement") in order to complete the Transaction.   

About Realgold Resources Corp.

Realgold has assembled an extensive land portfolio in the Kyrgyz Republic that includes 16 projects in 28 licenses covering 274,124 ha within the highly prolific Tien Shan gold belt. The Carlin type potential in southwestern Kyrgyz Republic was recognized by Doug Kirwin, Realgold's President and CEO, and ground was subsequently acquired by staking.

The orogenic gold deposits of the Tien Shan Mineral Belt include some of the largest economic gold accumulations in the world.  These deposits are spread across the belt in Russia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and western China, and span the time scale from Lower to Late Paleozoic¹.

It is host to several giant gold deposits, including the world's single largest operating gold mine (Muruntau in Uzbekistan) to the west and the giant Kumtor mine in eastern Kyrgyzstan to the east end of the belt.  Carlin type deposits are the most important source of gold in the United States and the Tien Shan belt within the Kyrgyz Republic is now recognized as hosting the 2^nd largest confirmed Carlin terrain in the world.  Realgold licences cover 90% of newly recognized and unexplored Carlin type gold belt. Mineralization hosted on adjacent and nearby properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization that may be hosted on properties subject to the Transaction.

The Transaction

Subject to the execution of a Definitive Agreement, the Company proposes to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Realgold in exchange for common shares of the Company (the "Payment Shares"). The Payment Shares would be issued to the shareholders of Realgold on a pro-rata basis based on a 1:1 ratio. Pursuant to the Transaction, the shareholders of Realgold will become shareholders of the Company. In addition, all the outstanding common share purchase warrants of Realgold will, subject to the rules of the Exchange, be exchanged for common share purchase warrants of the Company based on a 1:1 ratio and on the same economic terms and conditions as previously issued.

On or before the closing of the Transaction, it is proposed that Realgold will complete a financing (the "Concurrent Financing") by way of a non-brokered private placement relying on the prospectus exemptions pursuant to National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions or other applicable laws, rules and regulations, to raise a minimum of $5,000,000 and up to a maximum of $10,000,000 at an intended price of $0.35 per subscription receipt (each a "Subscription Receipt"). Each Subscription Receipt will, prior to the effective time of the Transaction, automatically convert into one common share of Realgold and one half of one common share purchase warrant of Realgold (each a "Warrant"), with each whole Warrant exercisable into a common share at a price of $0.46 per share for a one year period, for no additional consideration upon the satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions, including the conditional approval of the Exchange for the Transaction and satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions precedent to the Transaction as set out in the Definitive Agreement, at $0.35 per Subscription Receipt, to raise a minimum of gross proceeds of $5,000,000 and up to a maximum of gross proceeds of $10,000,000, to be completed within ninety (90) days of receiving conditional approval of the Transaction by the Exchange.

The Transaction is conditional upon, among other things:

(i)	the parties will have received all necessary regulatory and third-party consents, approvals and authorizations as may be required in respect of the Transaction, including, but not limited to, acceptance of the Transaction by the Exchange;
(ii)	completion of due diligence to the satisfaction of the parties;
(iii)	approval by the board of directors of each of the Company and Realgold to the final terms and conditions of the Transaction as set forth in the Definitive Agreement and all other necessary matters related thereto prior to the signing of the Definitive Agreement;
(iv)	approval by the board of directors of each of the Company and Realgold of the Definitive Agreement and the execution of the Definitive Agreement, such Definitive Agreement so executed being the Definitive Agreement approved;
(v)	completion of all matters, and the satisfaction of all conditions (unless waived in writing by the applicable party), under the Definitive Agreement and any applicable transactional agreements, required to be completed or satisfied on or before closing of the Transaction including but not limited to completion of the Concurrent Financing; and
(vi)	the shareholders of Realgold will have approved the Transaction and any and all matters in connection therewith pursuant to applicable laws and the rules and policies of the Exchange.

 

In connection with the Transaction it is intended that the Company will be re-named as the parties may reasonably agree upon and as is acceptable to the Exchange and the registrar.  Upon completion of the Transaction, the resulting entity will carry on the business currently conducted by Realgold and will cease to carry on the business currently being conducted by the Company.  It is also intended that concurrent with the closing of the Transaction, the board of directors of the Company shall be restructured through resignations and appointments, so that it shall consist of four (4) directors with Realgold selecting two (2) board members and the Company selecting two (2) board members. It is the intention of the Company that it will sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of its Tayson property located in the Philippines and associated liabilities (whether financial, environmental or otherwise) subsequent to the completion of the Transaction.
