PEMBROKE, Bermuda--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Gold Reserve Ltd. (TSX.V: GRZ) (BSX: GRZ.BH) (OTCQX: GDRZF) (“Gold Reserve” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its board of directors has approved the previously announced potential spin-out (the “American Heralds Spin-Out”) of its new U.S.-domiciled company, American Heralds Mining Corporation (“American Heralds”). As described in the Company’s prior news release, it is intended that American Heralds will hold Gold Reserve’s mining interests in Venezuela (including the Company’s ongoing efforts to pursue its interest in the Siembra Minera project) and its Alaskan property.

In an effort to transform Gold Reserve into an investment holding company, the Company’s board of directors has also approved a potential spin-out transaction of its existing U.S. subsidiary, Dalinar Energy Corporation (“Dalinar”), whereby economic rights in the Company’s 2014 arbitration award and corresponding judgments would be transferred to Dalinar and shares of Dalinar would be distributed to the Company’s shareholders (the “Dalinar Spin-Out”).

The American Heralds Spin-Out, the Dalinar Spin-Out and all related transactions (collectively, the “Spin-Out Transactions”) remain subject to ongoing review by the Company’s advisors. The Spin-Out Transactions are also subject to the receipt of all applicable approvals, including requisite shareholder approvals and regulatory approvals.

The Company currently expects to file and mail a proxy and information circular regarding the Spin-Out Transactions prior to the end of the year.
