VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 3, 2022 /CNW/ - Zacapa Resources Ltd. ("Zacapa") (TSXV: ZACA) (OTCQB: ZACAF) (DE: BH0) announces that it has completed an internal reorganization splitting its gold and copper assets into separate wholly-owned Nevada subsidiaries (the "Re-Organization"). Zacapa Gold Corporation ("Zacapa Gold") now holds South Bullfrog in the Beatty district of Nevada and Miller Mountain in Idaho.  Zaya Resources Ltd. ("Zaya") holds the Red Top and Pearl porphyry copper projects in Arizona. The Board of Directors of Zacapa (the "Board") is considering a transaction, or series of transactions, to maximize Zacapa's asset portfolio whereby Zacapa's copper assets currently held in Zaya would ultimately be held in another publicly listed company and existing Zacapa shareholders would hold their interests in two companies relative to their shareholdings in Zacapa (the "Potential Transaction"). Zacapa Gold will focus on drilling Bullfrog and Miller Mountain, while Zaya or the resulting issuer of Zaya, pending the Potential Transaction, will capture additional long-term value of the copper assets for Zacapa shareholders as a separate publicly listed company.

Upcoming Financing

It is anticipated that the financing announced on September 29, 2022 (the "Upcoming Financing") will be the final financing before the Board makes a decision and undertakes the Potential Transaction.  As the Potential Transaction will be completed subsequent to the closing of the Upcoming Financing, subscribers in the Upcoming Financing will automatically acquire a direct interest in both entities relative to their shareholdings in Zacapa following completing of the Potential Transaction.

Anticipated Terms of the Potential Transaction

If the Board determines to proceed with the Potential Transaction, the Potential Transaction is likely to occur by way of a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and will likely require the approval of the Zacapa shareholders. Details of such meeting will be provided upon announcement. It is also anticipated that the Potential Transaction will be subject to other customary approvals, including approval by the Supreme Court of British Columbia and the TSX Venture Exchange.

A final decision has not been made and there can be no assurance that this proposed Potential Transaction or any other similar transaction will be consummated. Zacapa will provide further updates at such time as the Board approves a specific transaction or otherwise concludes that disclosure is necessary or appropriate.
