Victoria, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Erin Ventures Inc. ("Erin" or the “Corporation”) [TSXV: EV] announced today that, on August 11, 2017, it will hold a special meeting of shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) to consider, and if deemed appropriate, to approve, a special resolution to authorize an amendment of Erin’s articles to consolidate the issued and outstanding common shares of the Corporation on the basis of one post-consolidation common share for every seven pre-consolidation common shares. The details of the matters proposed to be put before the Special Meeting are set forth in the management information circular (the “Circular”) to be available on SEDAR and mailed to shareholders on or about July 17, 2017. At the Special Meeting, shareholders may also be asked to consider and vote in respect of other matters that may be properly brought before the Special Meeting. Management is not currently aware of any such other matters.

Erin’s board of directors believes that the proposed consolidation is in the best interest of its shareholders in that it will permit Erin greater flexibility and opportunity regarding certain future corporate activities which are designed to help increase shareholder value. Activities which may be positively impacted by a consolidation are expected to include Erin’s ability to structure strategic alliances, enhanced marketability of its common shares as an investment which aids in fund raising activities, and an increased interest by a wider audience of potential investors, brokers and analysts that may consider investing or be able to invest in the Corporation as a result of an increase in the market price of its common shares, and a reduction in the number of shares outstanding. Each of these factors result in an enhanced ability for Erin to advance its mineral projects on terms, and with methods, that are more favorable to the Corporation than what currently exist.

Subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, approval of the special resolution by shareholders would give the Board of Directors the authority to implement the share consolidation, or, in its discretion, revoke the special resolution, without further approval or action or prior notice to shareholders. If approved and implemented, the share consolidation will occur simultaneously for all of the Corporation’s common shares and will affect all shareholders and holders of convertible securities such as options, warrants and convertible debt, uniformly.

The Circular will contain, among other things, details concerning the proposed share consolidation, requirements for the share consolidation to be implemented and the procedure for receiving new shares if the share consolidation is implemented, as well as the procedures for voting at the meeting and other related matters. Shareholders are urged to carefully review the Circular and accompanying materials as they will contain important information regarding the share consolidation. A copy of the Circular will be available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

On behalf of the Board of Directors,

Blake Fallis, General Manager
