TORONTO, May 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Gold X Mining Corp. (TSXV: GLDX) (“Gold X“) is pleased to announce that, at the special meeting (the “Meeting“) of shareholders of Gold X (“Gold X Shareholders“) held earlier today, Gold X Shareholders approved the previously announced proposed plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement“) under which, subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of all applicable conditions precedent, Gran Colombia Gold Corp.

Gold X is also pleased to announce that, earlier today, the Gran Colombia shareholders passed an ordinary resolution authorizing the issuance of the Gran Colombia Shares required to be issued in connection with the Arrangement.
Gold X will apply for a final order of the Supreme Court of British Columbia approving the Arrangement (the “Final Order“) on June 1, 2021. Apart from the Final Order, all third-party approvals and consents required as conditions precedent to completion of the Arrangement have been obtained or waived. Subject to receipt of the Final Order, as well as the satisfaction or waiver of other customary closing conditions, Gold X currently expects that the Arrangement will become effective at 12:01 a.m. on June 4, 2021. Following completion of the Arrangement, the Company will be de-listed from the TSX Venture Exchange and the Company will make the applications to the relevant securities regulatory authorities in Canada to cease to be a reporting issuer for the purposes of securities legislation.
