Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Cadillac Mining Corporation (TSXV:CQX) (“Cadillac” or the “Company”) announces that it has received shareholder approval for a transaction that will see all of the issued and outstanding shares of Cadillac being acquired by Pilot Gold Inc. (TSX:PLG) (“Pilot Gold”) by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement (the “Transaction”).

At a special shareholder meeting held today, the Transaction was approved by 99.99% of the votes cast by shareholders of Cadillac.  Pursuant to the Transaction, Cadillac shareholders will receive 0.12195 of a Pilot Gold share and 0.12195 of a Pilot Gold share purchase warrant (“Pilot Warrants”) for each common share of Cadillac held. Each Pilot Warrant shall entitle the holder to acquire one Pilot Gold share at an exercise price of C$2.00 for a period of two years from the closing of the Transaction. Existing Cadillac warrants and options will be exercisable for Pilot Gold shares, adjusted in respect of exercise price and number, based on the 0.12195 exchange ratio.

A final order approving the Transaction will now be sought from the Supreme Court of British Columbia at a hearing on August 26, 2014. If this order is given, the Transaction is expected to close on or around August 29, 2014.

In connection with completing the Transaction, Pilot Gold has made available to Cadillac an additional secured line of credit in the amount of $95,000 to meet certain of Cadillac’s costs prior to completion of the transaction.
