JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Canada-based gold exploration company Giyani Gold on Monday announced that it had acquired a 57.7% interest in newly launched Canoe Mining Ventures.

Giyani acquired its interest in Canoe by means of a securities exchange agreement, in terms of which Giyani exchanged 100% of its common shares in its majority-held subsidiary 2299895 Ontario for a 57.7% shareholding in Canoe.

As a result, Canoe had acquired all of the Giyani subsidiary’s Canadian exploration permits, which includes the Abbie-Lake, the Keating and the Killins properties, as well as other minor Canadian exploration properties.

It was expected that Canoe would initially start with an exploration programme comprising geophysics and drilling on high-priority targets identified on the Keating and Killins properties, while Giyani, as a company, would focus on its Giyani gold project in South Africa and would continue its evaluation of acquisition targets in Southern Africa. 

“Giyani Gold, through our large ownership position, will directly benefit from any successes Canoe has in their acquisition activities and exploration programmes,” Giyani executive chairperson Duane Parnham said.

He added that Canoe was a well-funded company with a strong shareholder base.

“I have joined Canoe’s board of directors to help grow them into a leading Canada-focused mining company which will, in turn, grow the value of Giyani’s holdings,” he said.

Meanwhile, Canoe and 2299895 Ontario, on November 21, each carried out private placements for combined aggregate gross proceeds of $1.42-million.
