Augyva Mining Resources Inc. Announces Normal Course Issuer Bid
![Augyva Mining Resources Inc. Announces Normal Course Issuer Bid](https://www.minenportal.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
As at January 30, 2012, there were 60,511,696 common shares of Augyva issued and outstanding.
The Bid is intended to commence on Monday 6, February, 2012, and will terminate Tuesday February 5, 2013. The price that Augyva will pay for any Shares purchased will be paid in cash at the prevailing market price at the time of such purchase. The Bid will be conducted through GMP Securities LP.
Augyva believes that its Shares have been trading in a price range that does not adequately reflect the value of the Shares in relation to its future business prospects and current assets. As a result, Augyva believes that the repurchase and subsequent cancellation of its shares through the Bid will enhance shareholder value and represents an attractive and accretive use of Augyva's available funds. Peter Jones, Chairman and Interim CEO, said "Given Augyva's strong cash position and ongoing earn-in by its partner at its Duncan Lake property, Augyva's Directors believe a normal course issuer bid is a highly attractive use of capital and is value enhancing without sacrificing its ability to meet its intermediate term cash requirements at Duncan Lake".
To the knowledge of Augyva, no director or senior officer, no person acting jointly or in concert with Augyva and no person holding 10% or more of the common shares of Augyva currently intends to sell Shares during the course of the Bid. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any Shares, nor shall there be any sale of the Shares in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
