NGEx Announces Intention to Spin-Out Josemaria Project

Canada NewsWire

VANCOUVER, Dec. 12, 2018 /CNW/ - NGEx Resources Inc. (TSX: NGQ, OMX: NGQ) ("NGEx", or the "Company") is pleased to announce the intention to spin-out its 100% owned Josemaría Project (the "Project") located in San Juan province, Argentina, into a standalone public company.

NGEx Resources Inc. (CNW Group/NGEx Resources Inc.)

The President and CEO of NGEx, Mr. Wojtek Wodzicki stated, "Given the positive results of the recent Pre-Feasibility Study of the Josemaría Project, which demonstrated robust economics, we believe that NGEx shareholders would benefit from having the Project in a stand alone vehicle which can then be fast-tracked towards a feasibility study and further development, without diluting the Company's interest in its other assets, including the Los Helados Project.  In 2016, NGEx successfully spun-out its Filo del Sol project in a similar fashion and we hope to repeat that success with Josemaría and, if the spin-out transaction is completed, the newly formed company would be well positioned to deliver a construction ready project into what many analysts anticipate will be a strong copper market."

The completion of any spin-out and any listing of the resulting entity will be subject to completion of a definitive agreement, regulatory approval, including the approval of the TSX, the approval of shareholders of the Company and the Supreme Court of British Columbia. The final terms of the structure, including the spin-out ratio to NGEx shareholders, retained equity level and timing of the record date are expected to be determined in due course, and remain subject to definitive documentation and approval by the board of directors and will be provided in due course. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the board of directors reserve the right to elect not to proceed with any spin-out.
