VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLOMBIA–(Marketwired – March 17, 2017) – Black Springs Capital Inc. (NEX:BSG.H) (the “Corporation” or “BSC“), a capital pool company listed on the NEX Board of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange“), is pleased to announce that its Filing Statement dated as of March 7, 2017 has been filed on SEDAR and may be viewed under the Corporation’s profile at www.sedar.com. The Filing Statement describes the Corporation’s proposed qualifying transaction (the “Qualifying Transaction“) with Groupe Ressources Géomines Inc. (“Géomines“).

On closing of the Qualifying Transaction, the Corporation will change its name to “Kintavar Exploration Inc.” and is expected to commence trading on the Exchange as a Tier 2 mining issuer, at which time the Corporation will no longer be considered a capital pool company.

Completion of the Qualifying Transaction remains subject to a number of conditions, including final approval of the Exchange.

Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

Completion of the Qualifying Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to, Exchange acceptance and if applicable pursuant to Exchange Requirements, majority of the minority shareholder approval. Where applicable, the Qualifying Transaction cannot close until the required shareholder approval is obtained. There can be no assurance that the Qualifying Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.

Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the management information circular or filing statement to be prepared in connection with the Qualifying Transaction, any information released or received with respect to the Qualifying Transaction may not be accurate or complete and should not be relied upon.
