Vancouver, BC – Camino Minerals Corporation (COR: TSX-V) (“Camino” or the “Company”) announces that its shareholders will be asked to approve a consolidation of the Company’s common shares on a ten (10) old common shares for one (1) new common share basis (the “Share Consolidation”) at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Company (the “Special Meeting”) to be held on May 29, 2014. If approved by the shareholders, the Company’s board of directors will have the ability to implement the Share Consolidation. The Company currently has an aggregate of 96,265,432 common shares issued and outstanding. The Share Consolidation, as proposed and if effected today, would reduce the outstanding common shares to 9,626,543 common shares.
The board of directors believes that the Share Consolidation is in the best interests of the Company and is recommending that shareholders vote in favour of the Share Consolidation in order to: (i) increase the common share price to meet the $0.05 TSX Venture Exchange minimum per share price for a financing; (ii) reduce the number and increase the price of the common shares making them more valuable to vendors of mineral properties in connection with a potential property acquisition agreement; and (iii) increase the common share price to a level which may meet investing guidelines for certain institutional investors and investment funds as well as making changes in the price level of the common shares less volatile on a percentage basis.
The Share Consolidation is subject to both the approval of the shareholders at the Special Meeting and that of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company will not be changing its name in conjunction with the Share Consolidation.
Additional information regarding the Share Consolidation will be available in the Company’s information circular. The information circular will be mailed to shareholders in connection with the Special Meeting and will also be available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com
