KWG to buy back shares... smart move
News Release
Symbol on TSX-Venture :
KWG.V
Shares issued and outstanding:
636,878,941
KWG ANNOUNCES NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID
Montreal, Canada – October 5, 2011 – The KWG Resources Inc. (TSXV: KWG) Board of Directors has authorized the purchase of up to 31.9 million of its common shares by way of normal course purchases on TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”), subject to regulatory approval. KWG intends to file the required notice with the TSXV to obtain such approval as soon as practicable. The common shares authorized to be purchased, represent 5% of the common shares presently outstanding.
KWG believes that its common shares currently trade in a price range that does not adequately reflect their underlying value based on KWG’s business prospects and strong financial position. As a result, depending upon future price movements and other factors, KWG believes that its outstanding common shares represent an attractive investment and a desirable use of a portion of its corporate funds.
The purchases may commence two trading days after acceptance by TSXV of KWG’s notice of intention and will be undertaken by Jones Gable and Company Limited as KWG’s agent. It is expected that the purchases will not presently exceed $500,000 and will terminate not more than one year after the purchases commence, or on such earlier date as KWG may complete its purchases.
Purchases will be made by KWG in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements and the price which KWG will pay for any such common shares will be the market price of such shares at the time of acquisition. The common shares purchased will be cancelled.
To the knowledge of KWG, no director, senior officer or other insider of KWG currently intends to sell any common shares under this bid. However, sales by such persons through the facilities of the TSXV may occur if the personal circumstances of any such person change or if any such person makes a decision unrelated to these normal course purchases. The benefits to any such person whose shares are purchased would be the same as the benefits available to all other holders whose shares are purchased.

Premier Visits Bombardier Plant in Thunder Bay
THUNDER BAY, ON, Sept. 15, 2011 /CNW/ - Premier Dalton McGuinty today highlighted the Ontario Liberal Plan to create and protect jobs in Northern Ontario during a stop in Thunder Bay. "Ontario Liberals are committed to a strong Northern economy with good Northern Ontario jobs, including right here at Bombardier," said McGuinty. "Our Ontario Liberal Plan is all about creating jobs and strengthening Northern communities."
McGuinty made the comments at the Bombardier manufacturing plant, where the Ontario government's commitment to GO Transit has meant purchases of 150 new coaches between 2004 and 2011 and a recent purchase of 50 coaches.
On Monday, Premier McGuinty announced that the Ontario Liberals will expand GO train service to two-way, full-day service, on all corridors — more than doubling the current number of coaches. All of which supports good jobs for Ontario families living in Thunder Bay.
McGuinty, who was joined by Thunder Bay-Superior North candidate Mike Gravelle and Thunder Bay-Atikokan candidate Bill Mauro, took the opportunity to outline the Ontario Liberal Northern Platform, which includes many elements to create jobs and further strengthen the Northern economy:
- Supporting Northern jobs by increasing the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund to $110 million and increasing the number of jobs it supports
- Protecting jobs by reducing industrial electricity rates by 25% through the Northern Industrial Electricity Rate Program, which will be made permanent
- Keeping the North moving by improving Northern road, rail, and air links
- Opening new mines — at least eight in the next 10 years
- Investing in Northern brainpower with a new law school at Lakehead University
- Attracting new investment and jobs with the development of the Ring of Fire
The NDP would introduce a crushing $9 billion in job-killing taxes and impose a moratorium on development north of 51, which would kill the Ring of Fire and destroy jobs in every Northern community.
Both opposition parties would take Ontario off track at the worst time.
"What we've accomplished in the North is nothing short of amazing," said McGuinty. "But there is much more to do and Ontario Liberals have a serious plan to keep building on the progress we've made, together."
