LionGold To Take Over Canadian Gold Firm For Up To S$9.1 Million

The takeover offer corresponds with a transaction value of up to S$9.1 million (C$7.4 million), assuming full acceptance from outstanding shareholders and conversion of outstanding convertible notes.

In a statement, it said the shares will be paid for in cash from the Group's bank deposits.

Acadian is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange with multiple gold tenements in Nova Scotia, Canada.

The company is backed by an experienced team, which is focused on the Beaver Dam and Fifteen Mile Stream projects.

These are within the Meguma Gold Terrain and hold a combined resource of 1.333 million ounces of mainly free-milling gold.

The resource at Fifteen Mile Stream has recently been upgraded, and efforts are underway for a detailed feasibility study for an open pit mine with a centralised processing facility.

The area enjoys excellent infrastructure support and a climate conducive to year-round mining activities.

LionGold purchased an initial 9 per cent of Acadian through the subscription of a 6 million new share placement in March 2013 at a price of C$0.09 per share.

The Group is of the view that the proposed investment provides an inexpensive foothold in an underexplored gold-bearing region in Canada that is consonant with a longer-term plan to create a North American hub of gold mining operations.
