Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - September 9, 2020) - Margaux Resources Ltd. (TSXV: MRL) (OTCQB: MARFF) ("Margaux" or the "Company") announces that shareholders will be asked at the Company's upcoming annual and special shareholder meeting scheduled for September 23, 2020 (the "Meeting") to approve a change of the name of the Company to "Cassiar Gold Corp." (the "Name Change"). The Company is also proposing to consolidate its issued and outstanding common shares (the "Common Shares") on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation Common Share for each five (5) pre-consolidation Common Shares, or such other consolidation ratio as the board of directors of the Company deems appropriate (the "Consolidation"). Additional information relating to the Name Change and Consolidation is included in the management information circular of the Company dated August 21, 2020 (the "Information Circular"), which is available on the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
The Company has mailed the Information Circular with respect to the Meeting. As part of that Meeting, shareholders of the Company will be asked to approve special resolutions amending the Company's articles with respect to the Name Change and the Consolidation.
Approval by the Company's shareholders of the Consolidation does not mean that the Consolidation will happen. Rather it affords the Company's board of directors the right to implement the Consolidation should they decide it is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. There are currently approximately 200,534,271 Common Shares issued and outstanding. Assuming the Consolidation is approved by the Company's shareholders and effected on a 5:1 basis, there will be approximately 40,106,854 post-consolidation Common Shares in the capital of the Company issued and outstanding. The board of directors of the Company believe that the Consolidation may be in the best interests of the shareholders of the Company as it could lead to greater investor interest, improved trading liquidity and reduced price volatility of the Common Shares.
The Consolidation and Name Change are both subject to shareholder and regulatory approval, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
