(MENAFN- Newsfile Corp) CellCube Spinout Company V23 Resource Signs LOI with Regency Gold
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - December 13, 2018) - CellCube Energy Storage Systems Inc. (CSE: CUBE) (OTCQB: CECBF) (FSE: 01X) ("CellCube" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, V23 Resource Corp. ("V23 Resource"), has signed a non-binding letter of intent ("LOI") with Regency Gold Corp., a TSX Venture Exchange company (TSXV: RAU.H.X), for the purpose of a business combination that would result in V23 Resource becoming a publicly listed company.
The LOI contemplates that the two companies will enter into a combination by way of a reverse merger or acquisition that will lead to V23 Resource becoming the resulting issuer on the TSX Venture Exchange. The companies will continue to negotiate and conduct due diligence and expect to enter into a definitive binding agreement within 30 days.
Spin-out and Distribution to Shareholders of V23 Resource Corp.
CellCube has established a record date of January 4, 2019, for the spin-out of its 100-per-cent-owned Bisoni Mackay and Bisoni-Rio vanadium assets into the newly formed V23 Resource (see news release dated June 28, 2018). CellCube shareholders of record owning common shares of the Company on January 4, 2019, will be eligible to receive the distribution of one common share of V23 Resource for every two common shares of CellCube upon completion of the spinout arrangement. CellCube intends to retain a 19.9-per-cent interest in V23 Resource, in addition to certain off-take rights, and the transaction is expected to be completed by year end.
"The spin-out of our vanadium assets into a new publicly listed entity will greatly enhance shareholder value," stated Mike Neylan, CEO of CellCube. "With vanadium prices approaching unprecedented levels, this is a critical step to unlock the value of our resource business for the benefit of our current shareholders," further commented Mr. Neylan.
V23 Resource Corp.
V23 Resource Corp. is a vanadium exploration company wholly owned by CellCube, with two vanadium properties located in Nye County, Nevada. CellCube's Bisoni McKay and Bisoni-Rio properties represent a significant pure play vanadium projects in North America, totalling 4,115 acres contiguous to the Gibellini deposit held by Prophecy Development Corp.
Drilling of 52 drill holes and exploration to date have indicated that the Bisoni McKay is a pure play vanadium resource that does not possess any significant concentrations of any secondary metals. Of greater importance, only 12 per cent of the Bisoni McKay area has been drilled (and none of the Bisoni-Rio), which has already resulted in the estimation of a National Instrument 43-101 indicated resource of 11.9 million tons at an average grade of 0.39 per cent vanadium pentoxide ("V2O5"), and an inferred resource of 7.0 million tons at an average grade of 0.42 per cent V2O5 (see news release dated September 13, 2016). The indicated resource is contained in a zone approximately 300 metres in strike length, while the inferred resource covers approximately an additional 200 metres of strike length extending to the south. The mineralized zone appears to be open at depth and extends to the north into the Bisoni-Rio property. In 2017, CellCube staked 162 claims on the Bisoni-Rio property from the Bisoni McKay right up to and abutting the Gibellini vanadium property owned by Prophecy Development Corp. (see company news release dated June 28, 2018).
