Great news, Strathmore announced today that they are proposing to spin out their Canadian assets and some cash into a separate company. I think there are a lot of positives that will enable the creation of more shareholder value at a faster pace:
Strathmore Plans to Spin Off Its Canadian Assets
10:48 EST Wednesday, January 31, 2007
KELOWNA, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(CCNMatthews - Jan. 31, 2007) - Strathmore Minerals Corp. (TSX VENTURE:STM) ("Strathmore") is pleased to announce that it is proposing to reorganize its mineral property assets with a view to maximizing shareholder value. In particular, Strathmore proposes to transfer all of its Canadian mineral properties and a portion of its cash into a new exploration company pursuant to a plan of arrangement. Strathmore would continue to hold the U.S. and Peruvian assets. Immediately following such arrangement, Strathmore's shareholders, other than any dissenting shareholders, would be issued shares in the new exploration company so that collectively, they would own all of the new company's shares which would be listed on the TSX Venture Exchange.
The reorganization is designed to improve the identification and valuation of specific Strathmore properties, to enhance Strathmore's ability to divest specific properties through simpler corporate ownership, to enter into strategic joint venture agreements, and to enable Strathmore to separately finance and develop its various assets, selectively reducing stock dilution.
The proposed reorganization is subject to shareholder approval by resolution approved by not less than 66 2/3 % of the votes cast and Strathmore expects to present the matter to shareholders at a special meeting. The reorganization is also subject to approval by the British Columbia Supreme Court, negotiation of definitive agreements, acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange and other regulatory approvals. Further particulars will be announced in due course.
