PASOFINO SECURITYHOLDERS APPROVE ARRANGEMENT WITH MANSA RESOURCES
Shareholders greenlight C$0.90 cash exit as Mansa Resources moves to privatize Liberian gold play

The most recent news (March 31, 2026) confirms that Pasofino Gold securityholders have overwhelmingly approved the Plan of Arrangement with Mansa Resources Limited. Over 99.9% of votes cast were in favor of the transaction, which will see Mansa acquire 100% of Pasofino’s outstanding common shares for C$0.90 in cash per share. The deal now moves to the Supreme Court of British Columbia for a final hearing expected the week of April 7, 2026. Upon closing, the company will be delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange and cease to be a reporting issuer.
The impact is Material - Positive as it provides a definitive liquidity event and a significant premium for shareholders compared to historical trading levels. - Certainty of Exit: The near-unanimous shareholder approval (99.95%) removes the primary execution risk of the deal. - Valuation: The C$0.90 cash price represents a substantial premium over the C$0.50 private placement price from October 2025, rewarding recent investors with an 80% gain in less than six months. - Risk Mitigation: This acquisition effectively transfers the significant jurisdictional and regulatory risks (specifically the Mineral Development Agreement breaches noted in late 2025) from public shareholders to the private acquirer, Mansa Resources. - Finality: The transition to a private entity under Mansa Resources ends the volatility associated with the Dugbe Gold Project’s development hurdles.
Pasofino Gold’s flagship asset is the Dugbe Gold Project in Liberia. - Resources: 3.3 Moz Au (Measured & Indicated) and 0.6 Moz Au (Inferred). - Status: Feasibility Study updated in 2025 supporting a 14-year mine life. - Recent History: The project faced a crisis in December 2025 when the Liberian Government alleged breaches of the Mineral Development Agreement (MDA). This acquisition by Mansa Resources (the controlling shareholder) appears to be the strategic solution to fund the "cure" for these breaches and move the project toward construction.
