(the "Corporation" or "Silvore Fox") (TSX VENTURE:SFX) is pleased to announce the filing on SEDAR of the documentation for the merger transaction (the "Transaction") with Golden Share Mining Corporation ("Golden Share"; jointly the "Parties") as previously announced on May 30th 2013.
Silvore Fox's annual and special shareholder meeting seeking approval from shareholders for the Transaction will be held at 145 Riviera Drive, Unit 7 in Markham, ON on Thursday, July 25th

Each Party's board of directors firmly supports the Transaction which is expected to provide Silvore Fox with a greater and more diverse asset base, greater capitalization, better access to capital markets, and improved liquidity.
The merged company will operate under the name Golden Share Mining Corporation and will provide its shareholders with two quality metal projects in Ontario; namely Berens River for gold and Pick Lake for zinc. Technical details for both projects are included in the joint information circular and NI 43-101 compliant reports for both properties were filed on SEDAR on June 20th and June 21st respectively. Berens River, a Newmont past producing high grade gold-silver mine north of Red Lake, and Pick Lake, a past producing satellite deposit of the high grade Inmet Winston Lake zinc mine, will initially be at the forefront of the new Golden Share's development strategy that will focus on high grade targets.
Mrs. Laurence Huss, M.Sc., P. Geo., Vice-president Exploration of Golden Share and Mr. Philippe Giaro, P.Geo., President and CEO of Golden Share, each a "Qualified Person" as defined in National Instrument 43-101, have reviewed and approved the technical information contained in this news release.

Ltd., that, among other things, requires it to vote all of its shares in favor of the Transaction while Golden Share has similarly signed a lock-up agreement with its major shareholder, Lake Shore Gold Corp. (TSX:LSG).

United States Shareholders
The Transaction described in this news release relates to common shares of a Canadian company. U.S. shareholders should be aware that the Transaction is subject to the disclosure requirements of Canada, which are different from those of the United States. The financial statements included or incorporated by reference in documents relating to the Transaction have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards accounting principles, and may be subject to Canadian auditing and auditor independence standards, and thus may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies.
The enforcement by shareholders of civil liabilities under the United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that Silvore Fox Minerals Corp. is incorporated under the laws of Alberta and Golden Share Mining Corporation is incorporated under the federal laws of Canada, most of their respective officers and directors are residents of Canada and other foreign countries, and some or all of their respective assets and the assets of their respective officers and directors are located outside the United States. U.S. shareholders may not be able to sue a Canadian company or its officers and directors in a Canadian or other foreign court for violations of U.S. securities laws, and it may be difficult to compel a Canadian company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court's judgment.
