Winshear Gold to pay 25-cent special distribution

2023-10-26 10:12 ET - News Release

Mr. Richard Williams reports

WINSHEAR TO PAY CDN $0.25 PER SHARE RETURN OF CAPITAL

Winshear Gold Corp.'s board of directors has decided, in light of the $30-million (U.S.) settlement reached with the government of the United Republic of Tanzania (see news release dated Oct. 16, 2023), to make a return of capital payment to shareholders of 25 cents per Winshear common share. The record date (set at close of business on that date) and the payment date for the distribution are as follows:

  • Record date -- Thursday, Nov. 23, 2023;
  • Payment date -- Friday, Dec. 8, 2023.

This payment will be in Canadian dollars unless otherwise determined by the company and by way of a return of capital. The tax consequences of the return of capital will be dependent on the particular circumstances of each shareholder.

Richard Williams, chief executive officer of the company, stated: "This is the appropriate thing to do for our shareholders who have stood by the company through some challenging times. The return of capital will make up for some of the losses incurred by shareholders as a result of the expropriation of the SMP gold project in Tanzania. It will allow us to retain sufficient capital to complete a first-pass drill program at the Gaban gold project in Peru in the second quarter of 2024, after the coming rainy season ends."
