TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 05/27/13 -- Deveron Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: DVR) ("Deveron" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has acquired an additional stake in Boreal Agrominerals Inc. ("Boreal"). On April 9, 2013, Deveron announced that it had purchased a 6% interest in Boreal, which owns and operates a carbonatite quarry near Sudbury, Ontario. By means of a private placement, the Company has now increased its interest to 15.5% in Boreal.
Boreal is a private company that explores for, tests, develops and produces organic-certified agromineral fertilizers and soil amendment products, targeting the purest and most reactive minerals that are superior for organic as well as conventional farming enterprises. Please see the Company's press release of April 9, 2013 for more information.
In connection with the purchase, Greencastle Resources Ltd. has loaned Deveron $400,000, which bears interest at prime plus two percent (2%) and is due on demand. As security for the loan Deveron has granted Greencastle a security interest over all of its assets and undertaking. Greencastle is a significant shareholder of Deveron, owning 7,756,005 common shares of Deveron representing approximately 65.8% of the outstanding common shares of Deveron. Deveron is relying on exemptions from the minority shareholder approval requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 based on the fact that Deveron obtained the loan on reasonable commercial terms that are not less advantageous to Deveron than if the loan had been obtained from an arm's length lender and the value of the loan represents less than 25% of Deveron's market capitalization. A material change report in connection with the loan will be filed less than 21 days before the advance of funds from Greencastle. This shorter period is reasonable and necessary in the circumstances as Deveron requires the funds to purchase the additional interest in Boreal.
