HPQ Silicon (TSXV:HPQ) (“HPQ”) is pleased to inform shareholders that HPQ subsidiary, Beauce Gold Fields Inc, (“BGF”) has received conditional approval for a new listing from the TMX: TSX Venture Exchange (“Exchange”).

HPQ Silicon (TSXV:HPQ) (“HPQ”) is pleased to inform shareholders that HPQ subsidiary, Beauce Gold Fields Inc, (“BGF”) has received conditional approval for a new listing from the TMX: TSX Venture Exchange (“Exchange”). The new listing will trade under the reserved stock symbol BGF.  As part of the conditional approval process, the Exchange has also approved a minimum concurrent BGFI private placement financing of $550,000.

Patrick Levasseur, President and CEO of HPQ Beauce Gold Fields stated, “The listing of BGF will allow HPQ to unlock the full potential value of the Beauce Gold property through a fresh new entity that is starting with a tight capital structure.” Mr. Levasseur also stated “The Beauce is Canada’s last underexplored historical placer mining camp. It’s similar to the White Gold projects in the Yukon or the Cariboo district in BC, that were both placer gold mining camps as well, but recently had major gold discoveries. Combining our large claims holding in St-Simon-Les-Mines together with our increasing knowledge of the geology, we believe we have narrowed the search in exploring for a hard rock gold deposit”

TSX-V Conditional Approval and Concurrent Private Placement

The Listing of BGF is conditional to the submission and satisfactory review of the Listing Application, the required financial statements plus various supporting documents and the closing of the minimum Private Placement of $550,000.

Each HC Unit will be comprised of one common share and one warrant to purchase one common share at the price of $0.15 per share for two years following the closing date. Each FT Unit will be comprised of one flow-through common share and one-half of one warrant, with each full warrant allowing the holder to purchase one common share at the exercise price of $0.18 per share for a period of two years following the closing date.

About Beauce Gold Fields

BGF is a wholly owned subsidiary of HPQ Silicon into which HPQ gold assets were transferred.   Subject to approval by TSX-V, HPQ is in the process of listing BGF as a new public junior gold company, following the approval by shareholders during HPQ AGM held on Aug. 10, 2018, of the proposed terms of the plan of arrangement.

The Beauce Gold Fields project is a unique, historically prolific gold property located in the municipality of Saint-Simon-les-Mines in the Beauce region of Southern Quebec. Comprising of a block of 152 claims 100% owned by HPQ, the project area hosts a six kilometre long unconsolidated gold-bearing sedimentary unit (a lower saprolite and an upper brown diamictite). Textural observations (angularity) of gold nuggets suggest a relatively proximal source and therefore a short transport distance. The gold in saprolite indicates a close proximity to a bedrock source of gold, providing possible further exploration discoveries.  The property was also hosts numerous historical gold mines that were active from 1860s to the 1960s (see HPQ SEDAR-filed report).
