VANCOUVER, July 31, 2018 /CNW/ - Golden Reign Resources
Ltd. (TSXV: GRR) ("Golden Reign"), Marlin Gold Mining Ltd. (TSX-V: MLN) ("Marlin") and Sailfish Royalty Co
rp. (TSX-V: FISH) ("Sailfish") are pleased to provide an update regarding the proposed business combination of Golden
Reign's wholly-owned San Albino-Murra Property in Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua and Marlin's La Trinidad Mine in Sinaloa, Mexico.
The parties have been diligently working towards settling all structuring and definitive documentation, including a revised
stream arrangement to be entered on closing having the equivalent effect of a net smelter royalty on the area of interest and
surrounding areas, in connection with completing the proposed business combination. As previously announced, the proposed
business combination will be completed by way of a plan of arrangement under which Golden Reign will acquire all of the issued
and outstanding shares of Marlin following completion of a corporate reorganization being undertaken by Marlin. Upon completion
of the proposed transactions, it is expected that the current shareholders and option holders of Marlin will own in aggregate
approximately 45% of the shares of Golden Reign (after the distribution of the Golden Reign shares already owned by Marlin to
certain of its shareholders) and current non-Marlin Golden Reign shareholders will own approximately 55% of the shares.
The parties expect to be in a position to execute the arrangement agreement and ancillary definitive documentation on or
before August 10, 2018, and to complete and mail all meeting materials prior to the end of
August 2018 in order to hold their respective shareholder meetings to seek all required shareholder
approvals in connection with completing the proposed transactions by the end of September 2018.
