VANCOUVER, Sept. 6, 2019 /CNW/ - Golden Arrow Resources Corporation (TSX-V: GRG, FSE: G6A, OTCQB: GARWF), ("Golden Arrow" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Glass Lewis & Co. ("Glass Lewis"), the second leading independent proxy advisory firm that provides voting recommendations to investors, has recommended that shareholders vote in favour of the sale of its 25% interest in Puna Operations Inc. ("Puna Operations") to its joint venture partner SSR Mining Inc. ("SSR Mining") for aggregate consideration of $44.4 million (the "Transaction").
Recommendation to Shareholders of Golden Arrow
Glass Lewis has recommended that shareholders of Golden Arrow vote in favour of a special resolution (the "Golden Arrow Shareholders Resolution") authorizing and approving a Transaction whereby, SSR Mining will purchase Golden Arrow's 25% interest in Puna Operations.
Glass Lewis noted "we see a reasonable basis for the board's decision to sell the Company's 25% interest in Puna to its joint venture partner, which will allow the Company to focus on the exploration and development of its other assets. The transaction will generate at least some cash proceeds for the Company to use in this regard, while also providing continued exposure to Puna and SSR's other assets through the issuance of SSR shares to the Company as consideration. Overall, we believe Golden Arrow shareholders will likely benefit from the proposed sale."

The Board of Directors UNANIMOUSLY recommends that Shareholders vote FOR the Golden Arrow Shareholders Resolution.
