TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Aug 12, 2013) - Canadian Silver Hunter Inc. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:AGH) is pleased to announce today that it intends to proceed with a normal course issuer bid to purchase up to 636,873 of its common shares (the "Bid").
The Company is commencing the Bid because it believes that the current market price of its common shares may not fully reflect the underlying value of the Company's business, mineral properties and future prospects. The Company believes that the repurchase of its common shares for cancellation is in the best interests of its shareholders because the Bid will increase the respective proportionate shareholdings and equity interests of all remaining shareholders.
As of the date hereof, the Company has 18,201,333 common shares issued and outstanding (including shares held for cancellation). The 636,873 common shares that may be purchased by the Company under the Bid represent approximately 10% of the Company's public float. The Company received acceptance from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") to commence the Bid on August 13, 2013. The Bid will terminate on August 12, 2014, or on an earlier date in the event that the number of common shares sought in the Bid has been repurchased. The Company reserves the right to terminate the Bid earlier if it feels that it is appropriate to do so.
All common shares will be purchased on the open market through the facilities of the TSXV, and payment for the common shares will be made in accordance with TSXV policies. The price paid for the common shares will be the prevailing market price at the time of purchase. Purchases may be suspended at any time, and no purchases will be made other than by means of open market transactions during the term of the Bid.
The Company has engaged All Group Financial Services Inc. to act as the broker through which the Bid will be conducted. During the past 12 months, the Company repurchased 130,500 of its common shares at an average price of approximately $0.0574 per share through its previous normal course issuer bid which expired on July 25, 2013.
