Abcourt plans to complete a share consolidation on the basis of seven for one Abcourt common shares, thus reducing the number of outstanding Abcourt shares from 348,814,130 to 49,830,590.
Abcourt also plans to change its name to Infinitas Gold/Infinitas Or, upon completion of the deal.
Abcourt president and CEO Pascal Hamelin said: “We have an opportunity to become a large landholder of gold properties, many gold exploration projects and an advanced development gold project with the Sleeping Giant Mine and Mill. These are the right ingredients to become a significant gold company in the Abitibi camp.”
The combined company will own 510km² of strategic landholdings in major gold districts in central Québec, and two underground gold mines that are currently placed on care and maintenance.
