MetalCORP Limited-Cancellation of Special Meeting of Shareholders
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 19, 2008) - MetalCORP Limited ("MetalCORP" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:MTC) announced today that the special meeting of its shareholders called for November 25, 2008 (the "Meeting") has been cancelled. The Meeting had been convened solely for the purpose of seeking shareholder approval for a proposed plan of arrangement involving the spin-off of four gold exploration properties by MetalCORP to a newly-incorporated corporation, Preciousmetals Explorations Inc. ("Preciousmetals"), which would be owned, initially at least, by the shareholders of MetalCORP (the "Arrangement"). A concurrent private placement financing of "flow-through" securities by Preciousmetals had been proposed to raise funding of at least $600,000 for its first year of operations. The decision to cancel the Meeting was reached by the board of directors of MetalCORP (the "Board") on November 19, 2008. After careful consideration, the Board determined that, due to the current volatile state of the financial markets and the continuing deterioration in the investment climate for resource companies, it would not be in the best interests of the Company or its shareholders to proceed with the Arrangement at this time. Therefore, the Board withdrew its recommendation of the Arrangement and directed that the Meeting be cancelled. MetalCORP will continue its review of strategic alternatives for dealing with its gold exploration properties but there can be no assurance that any other transactions will be undertaken, or if undertaken, will be completed. The Board will examine all possible options for the longer term structure of the Company and remains committed to realizing maximum value for MetalCORP's shareholders.
