Highlights:

  • NewOrigin Gold Corp. (TSXV:NEWO) shareholders approved a business combination with Harfang Exploration Inc.
  • The arrangement includes the exchange of NewOrigin shares for Harfang shares.
  • Completion of the arrangement is anticipated for November 2024, pending final approvals.

NewOrigin Gold Corp. operates in the precious metals exploration sector, with a focus on discovering gold and other valuable mineral resources. Recently, the company announced a significant development, securing approval from its shareholders for a business combination with Harfang Exploration Inc. This combination aims to merge resources and enhance exploration capabilities. The approval marks a pivotal step forward, with shareholders backing the proposed arrangement.

Shareholders’ Meeting and Approval

At a special meeting, NewOrigin's shareholders expressed overwhelming support for the proposed arrangement. Shareholders representing a significant portion of the company's outstanding shares voted in favor of the transaction. This arrangement, which was initially outlined in an agreement between NewOrigin and Harfang in August 2024, seeks to enhance the strategic positioning of both companies within the precious metals sector.

Terms of the Arrangement

The business combination will involve an exchange of shares between the two companies. Under the terms of the deal, NewOrigin shareholders will receive shares of Harfang in exchange for their NewOrigin shares. Following the completion of the arrangement, former NewOrigin shareholders will hold a minority stake in the newly combined company. This approach is designed to align the interests of both companies and create a stronger entity moving forward.

Next Steps and Closing Date

The arrangement is expected to close in the first half of November 2024, subject to final regulatory approvals. A key milestone for this transaction is the upcoming review by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, scheduled for late October 2024. Once approved, the final steps toward the business combination can proceed, and the companies will complete the exchange of shares as outlined in the agreement.

Impact on NewOrigin's Listing

As part of the arrangement, NewOrigin shares are expected to be delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange. Additionally, an application will be made to cease NewOrigin's status as a reporting issuer. These steps reflect the ongoing integration of the two companies and are expected to be finalized around the closing date of the arrangement.
