Emerita Resources Receives Shareholder Approval for Stock Consolidation
and Enters Into Loan Agreement
TORONTO, Jan. 04, 2019 -- Emerita Resources Corp. (the “Company” or “Emerita”) (TSX-V: EMO) announces that it has
received strong support from its shareholders for consolidation of its common shares on the basis of one new common share
for every five common shares outstanding. Of the votes cast by shareholders at the Emerita special shareholder meeting,
97.966% voted in favor of consolidation of the Company’s common shares. The Board will advise shareholders in the near
future when actual consolidation of the share capital will occur and a letter of transmittal will be sent by mail to shareholders
advising that the share consolidation has taken effect and instructing shareholders to surrender the certificates evidencing their
common shares for replacement certificates representing the number of common shares to which they are entitled as a result
of the consolidation.
Post consolidation the Company will have 28,419,165 common shares outstanding. The change in the number of issued and
outstanding common shares that will result from the share consolidation will not materially affect any shareholder’s percentage
ownership in Emerita, although such ownership would be represented by a smaller number of common shares. Further details
regarding the share consolidation are contained in the Company’s Information Circular dated November 21, 2018, which has
been filed under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
The Company also announces that it has entered into a loan (the “ Loan”) agreement with Pathfinder Asset Management
Limited for a maximum principal amount of CAD$250,000. The Loan bears interest at 18% per annum, has a term of two years
and is secured, pursuant to a general security agreement, against the Company’s assets.
The Company plans to use the proceeds of the Loan to fund ongoing exploration and development of the Plaza Norte Project
and for general working capital purposes. In connection with the Loan, the Company paid $7,500 as finder’s fees to an arm’s
length party. The Loan is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
