Mr. Tim Towers reports
SILVER SHIELD AGM CONCLUDED NEW DIRECTORS AND SHARES FOR DEBT UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED
Silver Shield Resources Corp. has released results of its 2011 annual general meeting held at
its corporate headquarters in Burlington, Ont. In addition to the
confirmation of N.R. McLeod of North Bay, Ont., to continue as the
company auditor, the new slate of directors and approval for shares for
debt were on the agenda.
Adding to returning founders -- directors Tim D. Towers (president and
chief executive officer), Stephen Mlot (vice-president, engineering) and Raymond Lashbrook (vice-president, exploration) -- the board has been strengthened by the addition of Gregory
Boone, a noted business executive in the Greater Toronto Area and venture capitalist
Brent Purin of New York, United States. The new board additions gives the company
a greater business scope and enhanced presence in the United States to aid in
additional financings and market awareness for the company moving
forward.
Shareholders, realizing the strength of Silver Shield's corporate plan
of developing and acquiring properties in these difficult times,
readily approved the proposal of offering shares for debt in the amount
of 6,746,695 common shares at 10 cents to extinguish $674,693.54 of debt.
The shares for debt will be with debtor and TSX Venture Exchange approval which will
be pursued in the next short term as neither has been acquired at this
time.
Mr. Towers commented: "We are again thankful for this vote of
confidence by our shareholders. It has been a difficult struggle and
with markets in somewhat of a turmoil, we are buoyed by the fact that we
have, among our properties, two former producers in the Welsh mine and
La Cumbre mine. The recent excellent news from both properties and our
continuing successful efforts to bring both along the development trail
sets SSR apart from many small companies. With the shares for debt
approved and hopefully completed in the next short while, the balance
sheet will be strengthened, allowing us to move forward more easily.
The fact that the shares for debt is expected to be completed at a
market price more than twice our share price underlies my belief in the
severe undervaluation of Silver Shield in the market."
