Aurwest and Copper Star Announce Extension to Financing Condition for Copper Star Spin Out

CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / September 29, 2023 / Aurwest Resources Corporation ("Aurwest" or the "Company") (CSE:AWR) announces that further to it previously announced Plan of Arrangement on October 3, 2022 and in relation to the portion thereunder regarding the spin out of its Copper Stars property in British Columbia to Copper Star Exploration Ltd. ("Copper Star"), Cooper Star was required to complete a private placement financing in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 (the "Financing") by September 28, 2023 ("Financing Condition Date") in connection with its proposed public listing on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE"). Due to weakness in the capital markets and the mining sector over the course of the last year, management of Aurwest expected that the Financing would not be completed by the Financing Condition Date and in anticipation of this held a shareholders meeting on September 12, 2023 (the "Meeting"), to among other things, approve the extension of the Financing Condition date by one (1) year until September 28, 2024 (the "Financing Condition Extension"). Shareholder approval was received at the Meeting for the Financing Condition Extension and the accompanying Court Order was received on September 28, 2023 from the Supreme Court of British Columbia to vary the Plan of Arrangement to extend the Financing Condition until September 28, 2024. The distribution of the common shares of Copper Star to shareholders of Aurwest are conditional upon completion of the Financing and the CSE listing, and until such time, Copper Star shall remain a wholly owned subsidiary of Aurwest. There is no assurance that Copper Star will complete the Financing and/or the CSE listing within the time required under the varied Plan of Arrangement or at all.
