Deveron Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:DVR) ("Deveron" or the "Company") is pleased
to announce that the Company has acquired an additional stake in Boreal
Agrominerals Inc. ("Boreal"). On April 9, 2013, Deveron announced that it had
purchased a 6% interest in Boreal, which owns and operates a carbonatite quarry
near Sudbury, Ontario. By means of a private placement, the Company has now
increased its interest to 15.5% in Boreal.
Boreal is a private company that explores for, tests, develops and produces
organic-certified agromineral fertilizers and soil amendment products, targeting
the purest and most reactive minerals that are superior for organic as well as
conventional farming enterprises. Please see the Company's press release of
April 9, 2013 for more information.
In connection with the purchase, Greencastle Resources Ltd. has loaned Deveron
$400,000, which bears interest at prime plus two percent (2%) and is due on
demand. As security for the loan Deveron has granted Greencastle a security
interest over all of its assets and undertaking. Greencastle is a significant
shareholder of Deveron, owning 7,756,005 common shares of Deveron representing
approximately 65.8% of the outstanding common shares of Deveron. Deveron is
relying on exemptions from the minority shareholder approval requirements of
Multilateral Instrument 61-101 based on the fact that Deveron obtained the loan
on reasonable commercial terms that are not less advantageous to Deveron than if
the loan had been obtained from an arm's length lender and the value of the loan
represents less than 25% of Deveron's market capitalization. A material change
report in connection with the loan will be filed less than 21 days before the
advance of funds from Greencastle. This shorter period is reasonable and
necessary in the circumstances as Deveron requires the funds to purchase the
additional interest in Boreal.
