Yukon Zinc Corporation (TSX VENTURE:YZC) ("Yukon Zinc" or the "Company") announces that its Board has approved an acquisition agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement") pursuant to which Jinduicheng Molybdenum Group, Ltd., and Northwest Nonferrous International Investment Company, Limited (collectively, the "Investors") will acquire, for cash consideration, 100% of the outstanding shares, options and warrants of the Company by way of Plan of Arrangement (the "Transaction"). Yukon Zinc and the Investors have entered into the Acquisition Agreement effective as of May 6, 2008. Previously, the Board was considering a share exchange proposal from Griffin Mining Limited. The Yukon Zinc Board has determined that the Transaction is fair to the shareholders and warrant holders and is in the best interests of Yukon Zinc. The Board is recommending that Yukon Zinc shareholders vote in favor of the Transaction. Paradigm Capital Inc. has delivered an opinion to the Yukon Zinc Board stating that, in its opinion, the Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to Yukon Zinc shareholders. An extraordinary general meeting of shareholders is scheduled for June 25, 2008 to consider the Transaction. The Transaction provides for the acquisition of all outstanding Yukon Zinc shares at a price of $0.22 per share (the "Purchase Price"), payable in cash. Each Yukon Zinc option and warrant that is "in-the money" will be purchased for its cash value. All options and warrants that have an exercise price greater than the Purchase Price (that is, "out-of-the-money") will be purchased for a cash consideration determined in accordance with a purchase schedule for each series of options and warrants. There are no lockup or due diligence conditions. The Investors have represented that they are confident that all necessary People's Republic of China approvals will be obtained without delay and that the Investors have the requisite funding in place to finance the transaction. The Transaction is conditional on approval of 66 2/3% of the votes cast by shareholders at a meeting of Yukon Zinc shareholders, receipt of court and regulatory approvals, waiver of the Yukon Zinc shareholder rights plan, and other customary provisions, such as no material adverse change. As a result of the signing of the Acquisition Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay Griffin Mining a $2.5 million break fee and related expenses, not to exceed $250,000. Pursuant to a loan agreement dated May 6, 2008, the Investors have agreed to provide a $2.5 million secured loan to the Company to finance working capital. Advisers and Counsel Yukon Zinc's legal counsel and financial advisors are Lang Michener LLP and Paradigm Capital Inc., respectively. The Investors legal and financial advisers are Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg LLP and BMO Capital Markets, respectively.
