Eastmain Resources (ER-T) April 8, '16 Columbus Gold (CGT-T) applauds the Board of Directors of Eastmain Resources Inc. for taking swift action to address the concerns of Columbus and other concerned shareholders.
Robert Giustra, CEO of Columbus, stated, "It is a victory for shareholders everywhere when blockages are removed so that investments can be set on a course to realizing their full potential."
The agreement reached by Eastmain for a strategic investment by Integra Gold Corporation, the management changes, the highly capable revised slate of director nominees put forward by Eastmain and Integra, and the plans for advancement of the Eau Claire deposit have addressed all of the concerns that were raised by Columbus in its initial news release from March 28, 2016. As a result, Columbus has reached an agreement with Eastmain and Integra to withdraw its dissident action.
