Eagle Hill Exploration, Oban Mining, Ryan Gold, and Corona Gold File Circulars Regarding Shareholder Votes on Business Combination

Eagle Hill Exploration, Oban Mining, Ryan Gold, and Corona Gold File Circulars Regarding Shareholder Votes on Business Combination



July 29, 2015 - Vancouver, British Columbia - Eagle Hill Exploration Corporation (TSX-V: EAG) ("Eagle Hill"), Oban Mining Corporation (TSX: OBM) ("Oban"), Ryan Gold Corp. (TSX-V: RYG) ("Ryan") and Corona Gold Corporation (CNX: CRG) ("Corona" and, together with Oban, Eagle Hill and Ryan, the "Parties") are pleased to announce that, further to the press releases of the Parties dated June 9, 2015 and June 30, 2015, they have each filed a management information circular (the "Eagle Hill Circular", the "Oban Circular", the "Ryan Circular" and the "Corona Circular", respectively, and, collectively, the "Circulars") and related proxy materials with the Canadian securities regulators in advance of their special meetings of shareholders to approve the various matters relating to the previously announced proposed acquisition by Oban of each of Eagle Hill, Ryan and Corona (the "Arrangement"). Each of the Circulars is available under the applicable Party's issuer profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Shareholders of record of each of the Parties on July 16, 2015 will receive notice of and be entitled to vote at their respective special meeting of shareholders. The Circulars update information about the Parties and provide information about the Arrangement, and are now being mailed to the respective shareholders of Eagle Hill, Oban, Ryan and Corona.

The Arrangement

On June 8, 2015, Oban entered into binding letter agreements with each of Eagle Hill, Ryan and Corona (the "Binding LOIs") in respect of the proposed acquisition by Oban of each of Eagle Hill, Ryan and Corona and, on June 29, 2015, the Parties entered into a definitive arrangement agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") to carry out the transactions by way of a plan of arrangement under Section 182 of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). The combination of these four companies will create a leading Canadian focused gold exploration and development company.

Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, each holder of Eagle Hill shares (other than Oban or any Eagle Hill shareholders validly exercising their dissent rights) will receive 10 common shares of Oban ("Oban Shares") and five warrants, each such warrant entitling the holder to acquire one Oban Share at 15 cents per Oban Share for a period of three years following closing, in exchange for each Eagle Hill share held; each holder of Ryan shares (other than Oban or any Ryan shareholders validly exercising their dissent rights) will receive 1.880 Oban Shares in exchange for each Ryan share held; and each holder of Corona shares (other than Oban or any Corona shareholders validly exercising their dissent rights) will receive 7.671 Oban Shares in exchange for each Corona share held.

As described in the Circulars, Oban will also be seeking shareholder approval for a consolidation of the Oban Shares on the basis of one post-consolidation Oban Share for each 20 pre-consolidation Oban Shares (the "Consolidation"). If the Consolidation is approved and implemented immediately following closing of the Arrangement, each holder of Eagle Hill shares (other than Oban or any Eagle Hill shareholders validly exercising their dissent rights) will receive 0.5 post-Consolidation Oban Shares and five warrants entitling the holder to acquire one post-Consolidation Oban Share on exercise of 20 such warrants and payment of $3.00 for a period of three years following closing, in exchange for each Eagle Hill share held; each holder of Ryan shares (other than Oban or any Ryan shareholders validly exercising their dissent rights) will receive 0.094 post-Consolidation Oban Shares in exchange for each Ryan share held; and each holder of Corona shares (other than Oban or any Corona shareholders validly exercising their dissent rights) will receive 0.38355 post-Consolidation Oban Shares in exchange for each Corona share held.

Concurrently with the entering into of the Binding LOIs, Oban entered into a binding term sheet (the "Osisko Term Sheet") with Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd ("Osisko"), pursuant to which, among other things, Osisko agreed to subscribe for up to 181,818,181 Oban Shares (on a pre-Consolidation basis) at a subscription price of $0.11 per Oban Share for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $20,000,000, provided that such subscription shall be reduced to ensure that in no event does it result in Osisko (together with its affiliates and joint actors) at any time owning more than 19.9% of the outstanding Oban Shares (the "Osisko Private Placement"). As this maximum subscription by Osisko would otherwise result in Osisko owning more than 19.9% of the Oban Shares, it is expected that Osisko's subscription under the Osisko Private Placement will be reduced to 163,636,364 Oban Shares for aggregate gross proceeds of $18,000,000, which, assuming completion of the Arrangement, will result in Osisko holding 19.8% of the outstanding Oban Shares. The completion of the Osisko Private Placement is conditional upon, among other things, receipt of requisite regulatory approvals, completion of the Arrangement, and entry into an investment agreement and a management agreement between Osisko and Oban, and is expected to be completed concurrently with the Arrangement.

The Oban Special Meeting

The special meeting of shareholders of Oban is scheduled to be held at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) on Thursday, August 20, 2015 at the offices of Bennett Jones LLP, Suite 3400, One First Canadian Place, Toronto, Ontario.

The Eagle Hill Meeting

The special meeting of shareholders of Eagle Hill is scheduled to be held at 9:00 a.m. (Pacific Daylight Time) on Thursday, August 20, 2015 at the offices of Eagle Hill Exploration Corporation, Suite 3123 - 595 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia.

The Ryan Meeting

The special meeting of shareholders of Ryan is scheduled to be held at 10:30 a.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) on Thursday, August 20, 2015 in the Dundee Corporation Boardroom on the 21st Floor at 1 Adelaide Street East, Toronto, Ontario.

The Corona Meeting

The special meeting of shareholders of Corona is scheduled to be held at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) on Thursday, August 20, 2015 in the Dundee Corporation Boardroom on the 21st Floor at 1 Adelaide Street East, Toronto, Ontario.

Shareholder Questions

Shareholders who have questions regarding the Arrangement or who require assistance with voting may contact Laurel Hill Advisory Group, the proxy solicitation agent, by telephone at 1-877-452-7184 (North American Toll Free) or 416-304-0211 (Collect Outside North America), or by email at [email protected]

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT - PLEASE VOTE TODAY

The Board of Directors of each of Oban, Eagle Hill, Ryan and Corona UNANIMOUSLY recommend that shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of the Arrangement.

Your vote is important regardless of the number of shares you own. Oban, Eagle Hill, Ryan and Corona encourage shareholders to read the meeting materials in detail.
