Brionor Finalizes Timeline to Close the Atala Acquisition
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Mar 20, 2014) - Brionor
Resources Inc. ("Brionor" or the "Company") (TSX-VENTURE:BNR)
announces that it has set a final deadline to close the previously
announced acquisition (the "Acquisition') of Atala Resources Corp.
("Atala") to 'on or before' April 30, 2014. The agreement between
the parties as per previous extension agreement(s) contemplated a
closing of the Acquisition on or before February 28, 2014. Closing
was delayed as a result of Atala's acquisition of AuEx Argentina
S.A. from Renaissance Gold Inc. ("RenGold"). As per RenGold's press
release dated March 10, 2014, the sale of AuEx Argentina S.A. to
Atala is now complete. This then clears the way for Brionor to
proceed with the Atala acquisition, as per the following terms:
Brionor will acquire Atala and its subsidiary companies for the
issuance to Atala shareholders of 12 million Brionor common
shares.
About Atala:
Atala Resources Corp. is a private mineral exploration company
focused on the acquisition and advancement of its project portfolio
in Argentina's prolific mining friendly Santa Cruz province.
Through the recent acquisition of AuEx Argentina S.A., as well as
other private acquisitions, Atala has amassed a project portfolio
on a very favourable basis, that consists of both drill ready and
grassroots projects in the very prospective and prolific geological
environment that underlay's Santa Cruz province. Atala is led by
Brian Gavin, and his team of professionals with over 20 years of
experience in Argentina. As a founder of Minera Andes Inc. (Now
McEwen Mining), Brian and his team were responsible for the
discoveries of the high grade San Jose Ag/Au, mine now in
production as a joint venture between McEwen Mining and Hochshild
Mining PLC, and the Los Azules Cu project, a large world class
porphyry copper system located in San Juan province.
Lew Lawrick, President & CEO of Brionor commented, "We are
very pleased to be able to now press ahead with our acquisition of
Atala and its project portfolio, which includes a team of
professionals on the ground in Argentina. Brian and his team bring
an enviable track record of success that we will look to duplicate
inside of Brionor. We are very bullish on our prospects in
Argentina despite the current 'out of favour' view, we believe this
to be an opportune time to acquire these assets as supported by a
world class team of professionals."
As previously disclosed, the completion of the transaction is
subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to,
both parties obtaining all necessary approvals, including the
required regulatory approvals (see press release dated February 20,
