VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - September 15, 2015) - CB Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE: CBJ) ("CB Gold" or the "Company") is keen to correct Red Eagle's propaganda and confirm its unanimous board support for the ongoing and superior offer from Batero Gold Corp. ("Batero").
In response to the improved Batero offer announced on September 4, 2015 and open until September 18, 2015, CB Gold has NOT been acquired by Red Eagle and, indeed, the same and an increasing percentage of CB Gold shareholders have now tendered to the Batero offer as to the Red Eagle hostile take-over bid. The expiry date of Red Eagle's hostile take-over bid was September 14, 2015. Batero's superior offer remains open until September 18, 2015.
Earlier today, Red Eagle Mining Corporation ("Red Eagle") announced that it had acquired CB Gold. Indeed, their website currently captions today's press release as "CB Gold Acquired". This is blatantly false. Red Eagle has not acquired CB Gold. Indeed, the number of CB Gold shares tendered to the Red Eagle hostile take-over bid is currently the same as the number of CB Gold shares tendered to the superior Batero offer -- and the Batero offer has not yet expired. CB Gold remains an independent company working to maximize shareholder value. CB Gold has complained to the British Columbia Securities Commission about Red Eagle's flagrantly misleading tactics that are intended to confuse CB Gold shareholders into believing that Red Eagle has actually acquired CB Gold -- it has not.
The CB Gold board of directors unanimously recommends shareholders TENDER IN FAVOUR of the superior Batero offer.
