KZD Kaizen Discovery Inc

Kaizen Discovery Inc. (TSX VENTURE:KZD) and West Cirque Resources Ltd. (TSX
VENTURE:WCQ) are pleased to announce that an interim order of the Superior Court
of British Columbia (the "Interim Order") has been obtained in respect of their
previously announced business combination by means of plan of arrangement (the
"Arrangement"). The Interim Order provides for, among other things, the calling
and the holding of a special meeting of securityholders of West Cirque to
consider and approve the Arrangement. The granting of the Interim Order was a
condition to the completion of the business combination.


West Cirque Securityholders' Meeting

A special meeting of the West Cirque securityholders is scheduled to be held at
Suite 1500, 1055 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia on June 26,
2014 at 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) to consider the Arrangement. The record date
for the special meeting was May 20, 2014. 


The Arrangement will be subject to approval by 66 2/3% of the votes cast by West
Cirque shareholders and optionholders voting together as a single class at the
special meeting. 


Officers and directors of West Cirque have entered into voting-support and
lock-up agreements, totalling approximately 21.3% of the West Cirque common
shares, by which they have agreed to certain lock-up provisions in respect of
their shares and to vote their West Cirque shares and options in favour of the
Arrangement. In addition, a shareholder of West Cirque owning approximately 5.5%
of the West Cirque common shares has agreed to vote in favour of the
Arrangement.


A Notice of Special Meeting and a Management Information Circular for West
Cirque (the "Circular") will be mailed to securityholders of West Cirque
shortly. A copy of the Circular will also be available on West Cirque's website
at www.westcirqueresources.com. It will also be available under the profile of
West Cirque on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.


Kaizen is not required to obtain shareholder approval in order to complete the
Arrangement.


Acquisition terms

Under the terms of the Arrangement, each West Cirque shareholder would receive
one-half of one Kaizen common share for each West Cirque common share. 


Holders of West Cirque options on the effective date of the Arrangement will
receive replacement Kaizen options in exchange for their existing West Cirque
options. Kaizen expects to issue approximately 1.1 million replacement options
and the exercise price of those options will be determined and adjusted based on
the exchange ratio of Kaizen and West Cirque common shares. Following completion
of the transaction, West Cirque shareholders would hold approximately 9.8% of
the outstanding common shares of Kaizen. 


Pursuant to the transaction, Kaizen expects to issue approximately 14.5 million
common shares to West Cirque shareholders on an undiluted basis. Kaizen will
have approximately 148.3 million common shares and 11.6 million options
outstanding, pro forma after the transaction. These figures include West Cirque
options adjusted as to number and exercise price, based on the exchange ratio of
Kaizen and West Cirque common shares.

Forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements regarding
the completion and expected benefits of the proposed transaction and other
statements that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements are based
on a number of assumptions and estimates that, while considered reasonable by
management based on the business and markets in which Kaizen and West Cirque

other factors that cause results, performance or achievements not to be as
anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such
information will prove to be accurate or that management's expectations or
estimates of future developments, circumstances or results will materialize. As
a result of these risks and uncertainties, the proposed transaction could be
modified, restricted or not completed, and the results or events predicted in
these forward looking statements may differ materially from actual results or
