TORONTO, Sept. 2, 2015 /CNW/ - Temex Resources Corp. ("Temex" or the "Company") (TSX-V: TME, FWB: TQ1) is pleased to announce that it has been advised that both of the leading independent proxy advisory firms, Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. ("ISS") and Glass, Lewis & Co., LLC ("Glass Lewis") have recommended that shareholders support Temex's proposed plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") at the annual and special meeting of shareholders of Temex scheduled for September 14, 2015 and vote FOR the Arrangement resolution. Under the Arrangement, holders of Temex common shares will receive, in respect of each Temex share that they hold, 0.105 of a common share of Lake Shore Gold Corp. ("Lake Shore Gold").

Temex is advised that ISS recommended that shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement resolution for a number of reasons including, the significant premium offered to Temex shareholders and the absence of substantial governance concerns under the Arrangement, in addition to the favourable market reaction to the Arrangement.

In addition to the significant premium to Temex's share price represented by the Arrangement, Temex has also been advised that Glass Lewis recommended that Temex shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement resolution given the Arrangement does not deviate from standard industry practice and reasonably reflects current market conditions, and provides Temex shareholders with a compelling opportunity to convert their equity into equity of a larger, more diverse and better capitalized mining entity.

"We believe there are strong synergies between Temex and Lake Shore Gold and the combination of Temex with Lake Shore Gold would create a leading and focused gold exploration and development company based in the Timmins Gold Camp and within northeastern Ontario. Lake Shore Gold has ample capital and resources to rapidly advance their exploration stage portfolio to which our Whitney and Juby projects add substantial upside. We also believe that this combination benefits strongly from Lake Shore Gold's exploration and development experience in the Timmins Gold Camp, along with their global capital markets reach and being backed by some of the strongest financial institutions in our industry", said Ian Campbell, President and CEO of Temex.

Tony Makuch, President and CEO of Lake Shore Gold, commented "Our proposed acquisition of Temex provides an attractive opportunity to increase our asset base in the Timmins Camp. The transaction is very complementary to our ongoing efforts to sustain and extend our current operations in Timmins and aggressively advance our very exciting organic growth opportunities in the area."

Temex encourages all shareholders to read the Company's information circular that was mailed to shareholders of record as of July 16, 2015 and is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The information circular contains a detailed description of the Arrangement, among other matters. Temex's board unanimously recommends that Temex shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement at the annual and special meeting of Temex shareholders.

Temex shareholders are reminded to vote before the proxy cut-off time of 10:00 a.m. (Toronto Time) on Thursday, September 10, 2015.
