/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO THE UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR
DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES./
TORONTO, July 30, 2014 /CNW/ - Sulliden Gold Corporation Ltd. ("Sulliden", or the "Company") (TSX: SUE) (BVL: SUE) (OTCQX: SDDDF) is pleased to announce the
Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") has conditionally approved the listing of the common shares ("SpinCo Shares") of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Sulliden Mining Capital
Inc. (formerly 2422222 Ontario Inc.) ("SpinCo"). SpinCo will trade under the ticker symbol: SMC.
As part of a plan of arrangement between Rio Alto Mining Limited ("Rio Alto"), the Company, and SpinCo pursuant to an arrangement agreement dated
June 13, as amended (the "Arrangement"), it is expected that current shareholders of Sulliden will receive
0.1 of one SpinCo Share for each common share of Sulliden held. The
effective date of the Arrangement is expected to be August 5, 2014. As
part of the Arrangement, Sulliden will convey the claims composing its
East Sullivan property near Val d'Or, Québec to SpinCo. For more
information with respect to the Arrangement and the business of SpinCo
upon completion of the Arrangement, see the management information
circular of the Company and joint management information circular
supplement of the Company and Rio Alto dated June 26, 2014, available
under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com
The continued listing of the SpinCo Shares will be conditional upon,
among other things, the "market value" of the SpinCo Shares not being
less than $20 million for any consecutive 30 day period during the
first three months from the date of listing. The "market value" will be
determined with reference to the number of issued and outstanding
SpinCo Shares listed on TSX multiplied by the volume weighted average
trading price of the SpinCo Shares on the TSX for the five trading days
prior to the relevant calculation date. If the "market value" is less
than $20 million for any such consecutive 30 day period within the
three months from the date the SpinCo Shares are first listed, the
Company will proceed to de-list the SpinCo Shares from the TSX. Should
this occur, Sulliden expects SpinCo would seek an alternative listing
for the SpinCo Shares.
About Sulliden Gold Corporation Ltd.
Sulliden is a mineral exploration and development company focused on
advancing its flagship Shahuindo project to production. Currently in
its permitting phase, this low cost heap leach gold and silver project
is located in a prolific gold-producing district in northern Peru. A
September 2012 Feasibility Study (based on $1,415 Gold and $27 Silver)
on the foundation phase of the project estimates an initial CAPEX of
$131.8 million that will support an annual mining rate of 3.65 million
tonnes producing approximately 90,000 of gold equivalent ounces for
10.4 years at cash operating costs of $552/oz. This initial mine
scenario features a pre tax IRR of 52.2% and post-tax IRR of 37.8%. The
technical study considers only approximately 40% of the gold ounces
from the total oxide mineral resource. Additional mineral resource
growth is anticipated from a number of highly prospective exploration
targets on the property that remain largely unexplored. Sulliden is led
by a proven management team with hands-on experience developing and
operating mines in Latin America.
Sulliden shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") under the symbol "SUE", on the Bolsa de Valores, Lima ("BVL"), also under the symbol "SUE", and on the premier tier of the U.S.
