Ogier Advises Touchstone Gold on acquisition of Atlantis Gold Mines

Ogier in London, in its role as long term BVI legal advisor to Touchstone Gold Limited ("Touchstone"), have assisted Touchstone with its acquisition of Atlantis Gold Mines Corp. ("Atlantis").  The new business combination has resulted in the creation of a Colombia focused gold exploration and development company with an asset base of tremendous potential in a highly prolific gold district.

Ogier London acted for Touchstone on its successful 2011 AIM listing and have now assisted on its migration to Canada to facilitate the acquisition of Atlantis.  The flexibility of the BVI company structure Ogier established has allowed Touchstone to meet its objectives with speed and ease.

The Ogier team was led by London Managing Partner Simon Dinning and Senior Associate Wendy Walker and worked with UK counsel Fladgate LLP and Canadian counsel Cassels Brock.

Simon Dinning commented, "We have worked with Touchstone for over a year now and are pleased to have assisted them on this exciting acquisition.  The market’s appetite for gold companies at a time when bullion is outperforming gold equities available in the market is certainly a sign of economic encouragement.  We wish the company well for its future in Ontario."
