TORONTO, July 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - Corsa Coal Corp. (TSXV: CSO) ("Corsa" or the "Company") provides an update on the transaction (the "Transaction") with Quintana Kopper Glo Investment, LLC and announces the resignation of a Director.
Quintana Kopper Glo Transaction
A summary of the Transaction and of related documents is set out in Corsa's material change report dated March 28, 2013, available on sedar.com.
In accordance with the requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), Corsa has submitted for review to the Exchange a Filing Statement in respect of the Transaction together with a NI 43-101 compliant technical report on Kopper Glo's material property.
Corsa expects to seek approval of a majority (50%) of its shareholders (by written consent) late in July, once the Exchange advises that the Filing Statement has been accepted for filing. At this time, shareholders holding approximately 50.3 per cent of the currently outstanding shares of the Company have agreed to vote in favour of the Transaction which is sufficient to achieve the required approval. The Transaction is targeted to close by the end of July 2013. Completion of the Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including Exchange acceptance and shareholder approval. The Transaction cannot close until the required shareholder approval is obtained. There can be no assurance that the Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all. Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the Filing Statement to be prepared in connection with the Transaction, any information released or received with respect to the Transaction may not be accurate or complete and should not be relied upon. Trading in the securities of Corsa should be considered highly speculative.
The Exchange has in no way passed upon the merits of the proposed transaction and has neither approved nor disapproved the contents of this press release.
