Silvore Fox Minerals Corp. and Golden Share Mining Corporation Execute Amalgamation Agreement

ccnm






MARKHAM, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - May 30, 2013) - After many months of evaluating strategic alternatives to improve shareholder value, Silvore Fox Minerals Corp. (the "Corporation" or "Silvore Fox")(TSX VENTURE:SFX) has today entered into an amalgamation agreement (the "Agreement") with Canadian junior gold explorer Golden Share Mining Corporation ("Golden Share")(TSX VENTURE:GSH). The Corporation and Golden Share are collectively referred to herein as the "Parties".


Silvore Fox management believes the combination of the exploration assets owned by the Parties, along with the technical skills and financial strength that Silvore Fox's major shareholder, Beijing Donia Resources Co. Ltd. ("Beijing Donia"), has committed to the development of these assets, will make the combined entity much stronger than either of the companies would otherwise be on their own. It is believed this should ultimately benefit the current shareholders of both Silvore Fox and Golden Share.


The Parties intend to finalize a transaction pursuant to which Silvore Fox and Golden Share will merge into a new company ("Amalco") on the basis of one share of Amalco for every five shares held of Golden Share and Silvore Fox, respectively (herein, the "Transaction"). Each Party's board of directors has approved the Transaction, and both Parties will request approval from their respective shareholders' meetings currently expected to be held in mid-to-late July, 2013. The Transaction also remains subject to the approval of the TSXV.


The proposed new company, Amalco, would operate under the name Golden Share Mining Corporation and its common shares will be listed on the TSXV. Amalco would initially have four members on its Board of Directors. Two members will be appointed by Silvore Fox; Chairperson Ge (Anna) Mao (currently Vice President of Sinotech and General Manager of Beijing Donia) and Wenshan (Wilson) Zhang (currently Chief Geologist of Beijing Donia), along with two members appointed by Golden Share; Philippe Giaro (the current President of GSH) and Christian Guilbaud (currently a board member of GSH).


Mr. Philippe Giaro will head the new management team as President and Chief Executive Officer, while Laurence Huss will assume the role of Vice-President Exploration and Hua (Helen) Gao will become the Chief Financial Officer. Dr. Jingbin Wang, Chairman of the Board of both Beijing Donia and its parent company, Sinotech Mineral Exploration Co., Ltd., will join Amalco's Advisory Board.



Silvore Fox's Senior Management Commented



"We wish to thank our shareholders for their continued patience and support during this difficult period for junior explorers. The entire Silvore Fox team has been working diligently for many months to research and evaluate possible merger or acquisition targets that have the potential to improve shareholder value as the junior exploration market begins to recover. While we cannot predict when that market will again turn positive we can assure our shareholders that management is doing everything in its power to put Silvore Fox in a strong position to take full advantage of that opportunity when it arises. We believe this merger with Golden Share is a move that will do just that, for shareholders of both companies."


Dr. Wenshan Zhang


Chairman, Interim President and CEO


Silvore Fox Minerals Corp.
