Tagish Lake Gold Corp. - Creditors Protection Extended to November 3, 2010

VANCOUVER, Sept. 9 /CNW/ -- VANCOUVER, Sept. 9 /CNW/ - Tagish Lake Gold Corp. (TSX-V: TLG) ("Tagish" or the "Company") On April 9, 2010, Tagish Lake Gold Corp. ("Tagish Lake" or the "Company") commenced proceedings (the "CCAA Proceeding") in the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the "Court") pursuant to the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) and obtained the Initial Order for protection from its creditors until May 7, 2010. Pursuant to the Initial Order, Grant Thornton Limited was appointed as the Monitor for the Company. That order has now been extended to November 3, 2010.
The Company will use the Extension to proceed with the Claims Process, negotiate with its creditors and develop a Plan of Compromise and Arrangement (the "Plan"), subject to the approval of the Court and the Company's creditors. Tagish Lake believes that the decision to seek creditor protection was in the best interests of the Company and its stakeholders as it allowed Tagish Lake to develop a Restructuring Plan and ultimately move forward with the restructuring of its business.
Additional information filed by the Company or the Monitor relating to the CCAA Proceeding is available on the Monitor's website at:
