VANCOUVER, B.C. – Timmins Gold Corp. (TSX:TMM) today announced that despite continued support from Capital Gold’s shareholders for a merger with Timmins Gold, the acquisition of Capital Gold by Gammon appears to have been approved by the narrowest margin.

We are very grateful for their commitment to Timmins Gold and thank these fundamental investors for their support. We have no regrets and look forward to continuing to grow Timmins Gold and building value for our shareholders.”

“Timmins Gold also thanks Steve Isenberg and Chris Dingle of M Partners, and Adam Givertz and Christian Kurtz of Shearman and Sterling, LLP for their guidance and hard work throughout this process.”
