Detour Gold Corporation (TSX: DGC) ("Detour Gold" or the "Company") is reminding shareholders that they only have until 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on Friday, December 7, 2018 to vote their BLUE proxy at the upcoming Special Meeting of Shareholders (the "Meeting"). Those that haven't voted are encouraged to do so, today, on their BLUE Proxy or Voting Instruction Form in favour of the Company's recommended refreshed board of directors (the "Board").
As the deadline nears, shareholders are urged to consider the following:
-- We are recommending a refreshed Board that has the right
experience and expertise. The composition of our Board
addresses the Company's needs and acknowledges the importance
of continuity and experience. Replacing the entire Board with a
new slate of directors, many without public board experience
and none with an in-depth knowledge of the Detour Lake mining
operation, is a recipe for disaster.
-- Leading independent proxy advisors have rejected Paulson's
reckless demand for wholesale change. Institutional
Shareholders Services ("ISS") and Glass Lewis and Co. ("Glass
Lewis") agree with shareholders that Paulson cannot be allowed
to take control of your Company. Both proxy advisors have also
acknowledged the need for continuity at the CEO level with
support for Interim CEO Michael Kenyon. Change above and beyond
what was recommended would be reckless.
-- Detour Gold is executing the 2018 Life of Mine Plan, which is
the best value-maximizing strategy. The execution of the 2018
LOM Plan is what will achieve a higher share price in the
medium term. The good news is that with a new leadership team
at the Detour Lake mine our plan is working.
-- Michael Kenyon is critical to providing the needed stability to
management in the short-term. In the event Michael Kenyon is
voted off the Board, the continued progress on the execution of
the 2018 LOM Plan will be undermined with a high risk of key
members of senior management, on whom the Company is depending
for such progress, exiting.
-- Paulson does not have a plan. Paulson's lack of a go-forward
plan was highlighted by both ISS and Glass Lewis; they have not
presented shareholders with a plan to create value. The only
changes Paulson suggests are disruptive and jeopardize the
progress we've made.
-- Momentum for Detour Gold's recommended refreshed Board is
growing. Detour Gold continues to receive support from
shareholders who support the responsible changes the Board has
made. The Company appreciates feedback from shareholders and
thanks them for their continued support.
