EDMONTON, Alta., March 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mineworx Technologies Ltd., (the “society” Where “mineworx“) (TSXV: MWX) (OTCQB: MWXRF) (FSE: YRS WKN: A2DSW3) announced that, following its press release dated January 17, 2022, it has entered into a share purchase agreement dated March 21 2022 (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) with Iron Bull Mining Inc. (“iron bull”), under which Mineworx will sell its Spanish subsidiary, Magnetitas del Cehegín, SL (“MDC”), which company is the direct owner of the Cehegin iron ore asset of Mineworx, for a purchase price of $20,000,000 (the “Proposed transaction”). The proposed arm’s length transaction will constitute a “change of business” for Mineworx (the “Proposed COB”) under the applicable policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”). The proposed COB would see Mineworx transition from a resource issuer to a technology issuer on the TSXV.

Prior to the closing of the proposed transaction, MDC would proceed with a reorganization (the “Reorganization of the MDC”), under which Mineworx’s direct 100% owned Spanish subsidiary, Solid Mines Espana, SAU (“SME”), would merge with its direct wholly-owned subsidiary, MDC, such that MDC would be the surviving entity that owns Cehegin’s iron ore asset. If the MDC Reorganization has not been completed by the scheduled closing date, and if both parties agree to waive the closing condition that the MDC Reorganization has been completed, then Mineworx may sell all issued shares and outstanding of EMS in accordance with the proposed Transaction.

Pursuant to the proposed transaction, the purchase price in the amount of $20,000,000 will be paid by issuing an aggregate of 20,000,000 common shares in the capital of Iron Bull (the “Iron Bull Stocks”) at the deemed price of $1.00 per share. As part of the proposed transaction, Mineworx management intends to distribute approximately 86.6% of Iron Bull stock to shareholders of the company as a dividend or other distribution of capital and simultaneously reduce the stated capital of Mineworx common stock in an amount equal to the aggregate value of the Iron Bull stock distributed in connection with the proposed transaction, estimated to be $17,325,804 (the “Reduction of stated capital”).

As part of the proposed COB, the Company also intends to change the name of the Company to a name which the board of directors of the Company deems appropriate and which may be approved by the competent regulatory authorities (the “Name change”).

There will be no changes to the directors and officers of the Company in connection with the Proposed Transaction or the Proposed COB.
