Juniors wrap 3-way deal

Juniors St Andrew Goldfields (SAS-T), Royal Victoria Minerals (RVM-V) and United Tex-Sol Mines (UTX.A-V) have completed their previously announced 3-way merger.

Under the deal, Royal Victoria shareholders will receive two St Andrew treasury shares for every share tendered. United Tex-Sol shares will be exchanged on a 1-to-1 basis. The same ratios apply to warrants and stock options.

Royal Victoria and United Tex-sol shares were delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange in late June. St Andrew is the surviving entity and will continue to trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

St Andrew has roughly 147 million shares outstanding, of which 76.7% will be held by existing shareholders. The remainder will be split nearly evenly among current shareholders of United and Royal.

The new St Andrew will hold the largest land position in Ontario’s Timmins camp — roughly 712 sq. km. The company’s portfolio also includes prospective gold and silver properties in the Mystery Creek region of central Alaska and British Columbia’s Eskay Creek region.
