GEO MINERALS LTD. ("GEO" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:GM)(FRANKFURT:8G3)
provides the following update to its information circular dated November 17,
2011 (the "Information Circular") with respect to the special meeting of its
shareholders (the "Meeting"), to be held at 10:00 AM (Vancouver time) on
December 15, 2011.
As described in its previous news release dated October 17, 2011, Geo and New
Gold Inc. ("New Gold") (TSX:NGD)(NYSE Amex:NGD) have entered into a definitive
business combination agreement, under which New Gold will acquire 100% of the
outstanding common shares of Geo by way of plan of arrangement (the
"Arrangement"). Under the plan of arrangement, Geo shareholders will receive
$0.16 per share, and 1/15th of a common share in GeoNovus Minerals Corp.
("GeoNovus") for every Geo common share held.
It is anticipated that, immediately following the completion of the Arrangement,
GeoNovus will offer units (the "Units") at a price of $0.15 per Unit (the
"GeoNovus Offering"). Each Unit will be comprised of one GeoNovus common share
(a "GeoNovus Share") and one-half of a GeoNovus share purchase warrant (a
"GeoNovus Warrant"). Each whole GeoNovus Warrant will entitle the holder to
purchase an additional GeoNovus Share at a price of $0.20 per share for a period
of 24 months.
The following updates to the Information Circular are made with respect to the
GeoNovus Offering. Under the Offering, GeoNovus will offer a minimum of
5,000,000 Units for minimum gross proceeds of $750,000 (as opposed to a minimum
offering of 4,500,000 Units for proceeds of $675,000, as stated in the
Information Circular), and a maximum of 5,500,000 Units for maximum gross
proceeds of $825,000 (as stated in the Information Circular).
Additionally, GeoNovus may, in its sole discretion, pay a cash finder's fee to
agents of GeoNovus. The cash finder's fee will be in an amount of up to 10% of
the proceeds raised by such agents as part of the Offering.
In light of the foregoing, the table under the "Funds Available" section of
Appendix G to the Information Circular is updated as follows (undefined
