Vancouver, B.C., January 30, 2013. Confederation Minerals Ltd. ("Confederation" or the "Company") is pleased to confirm that, further to the Company's news releases dated November 27, 2012 and December 19, 2012, effective December 19, 2012 the Company completed the distribution of 21,086,656 common shares (the "Magna Shares") of Magna Resources Ltd. to the holders of record as of November 27, 2012 (the "Confederation Shareholders") as a return of capital.
The Company intends to take the position for tax and financial reporting purposes that the effective date of the distribution was December 19, 2012 and will be determining the fair market value of a Magna Share on that date in order to report the appropriate reduction of capital. This determination of value will not be binding on the Canada Revenue Agency and it is possible that the Canada Revenue Agency could take a contrary view. Also the value may or may not be suitable for Confederation Shareholders to use for Canadian income tax purposes. Therefore, Confederation Shareholders should refer to the general tax disclosure contained in our news release dated November 27, 2012 and consult their own tax advisors in regards to the tax consequences of the distribution in their particular circumstances.
