VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - Fosterville South Exploration Ltd. ("FSX" or the "Company") (TSXV: FSX) (OTC: FSXLF) (Germany: 4TU) announces that the annual general and special meeting of shareholders of the Company (the "Meeting") scheduled for October 16, 2020 to, among other things, consider and, if thought fit, approve a special resolution with respect to an arrangement (the "Arrangement") pursuant to which the Company will spin-out its Avoca and Timor properties into a newly listed vehicle has been rescheduled to November 13, 2020 at 9:30 a.m. (Vancouver time).

FSX Chief Executive Officer, Bryan Slusarchuk, states, "Flowing the benefits of our first mover status in this new Victoria exploration boom directly to Fosterville South shareholders was a deliberate decision and we are pleased that we now have a definitive date set for the Meeting seeking approval to do so, via the spinout of our Avoca and Timor projects. Fosterville South has approximately CAD $28.3 million in cash currently, which is more than we had at the start of our ongoing exploration efforts, due to warrant exercises. We are drilling at Golden Mountain where results to date have been outstanding, are targeting a near term start up of drilling at our Lauriston project and now have a firm date for the meeting to confirm our spinout action for Avoca and Timor." 

The record date for the Meeting has also been changed from September 3, 2020 to October 2, 2020. The location and time of the Meeting is unchanged. The Company has filed an updated Notice of Meeting and Record Date, accessible on the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
