Premier Gold Subsidiary and Bridgeport Ventures complete business combination to form Premier Royalty Inc.

PG:TSX
BPV:TSX

THUNDER BAY, ON, Dec. 5, 2012 /CNW/ -

PREMIER GOLD MINES LIMITED
(PG:TSX) ("Premier Gold") and

BRIDGEPORT VENTURES INC.
(BPV:TSX) ("Bridgeport")

are pleased to announce that they have completed their previously
announced business combination (the "Transaction") of
Premier Gold's royalty subsidiary and Bridgeport to form a
new publicly traded entity,
Premier Royalty Inc.
("Premier Royalty"), continuing under symbol BPV:TSX.

Premier Royalty's common shares and certain warrants have been
conditionally approved to trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange
("TSX") under the symbols "NSR", "NSR.WT" and "NSR.WT.A",
respectively.
This change is expected to be implemented next week
under separate announcement.

Abraham Drost, President & CEO of Premier Royalty Inc.,
stated: "with a number of cash-flowing royalties in place and
a pipeline of earlier stage royalty assets, the close of this
transaction marks a promising launch for Premier Royalty Inc. and
a fruitful outcome for Bridgeport and Premier Gold.
We look forward to maintaining a track record of growth
organically and through the acquisition of additional cash
flowing and near-term cash flowing royalties with a focus on
stable jurisdictions in the Americas and elsewhere."

In connection with the Transaction:

Bridgeport's name was changed to
"Premier Royalty Inc.";
All existing directors and management of Bridgeport resigned,
other than Hugh Snyder and Shastri Ramnath who are continuing as
directors of Premier Royalty.
Ewan Downie, Abraham Drost, George Faught, Steven Filipovic,
Howard Katz and Julie Lassonde have been appointed as directors
of Premier Royalty;
Common shares of Bridgeport were consolidated on the basis of one
post-consolidation share (a "Premier Royalty Share") for every
four pre-consolidation shares;

Premier Royalty issued 0.375 of a warrant (each whole warrant, a
"Premier Royalty Warrant") for each Premier Royalty Share held by
shareholders of record as at 12:01 a.m. (Toronto time) on
December 4, 2012.
Each whole Premier Royalty Warrant is exercisable at a price of
$2.00 per Premier Royalty Share for a period commencing on
June 4, 2013 and ending on December 4, 2016, subject to early
expiry upon the occurrence of certain events;
All existing Bridgeport options will be terminated on or prior to
March 4, 2013.
The terms of the warrants of Bridgeport existing prior to the
effective time of the Transaction have been adjusted to reflect
the consolidation of Bridgeport common shares and the
distribution of Premier Royalty Warrants upon the exercise of
such warrants;
Premier Royalty has agreed to repay, on behalf of
Premier Royalty Corporation, $8 million of the $28 million
(plus interest) outstanding balance on the convertible bridge
loan facility issued to Premier Gold, which converted the
remaining amount outstanding into approximately 14.7 million
Premier Royalty Shares, approximately 5.5 million Premier Royalty
Warrants and approximately 1.46 million warrants ("Class II
Warrants"), with each Class II Warrant exercisable at a price of
$2.00 per Premier Royalty Share until October 7, 2014.
Premier Gold currently owns approximately 33.7 million
Premier Royalty Shares, representing approximately 53.5% of
the issued and outstanding Premier Royalty Shares.

Pursuant to the policies of the TSX, all of the Premier Royalty
Shares and warrants to acquire Premier Royalty Shares held by
Premier Gold and Mr. Hugh Snyder are subject to escrow, one-
quarter of which were immediately released from escrow and one-
quarter of the balance will be released from escrow every six
months over the next 18 months.
In the event the market capitalization of Premier Royalty is
greater than $100 million for at least 5 trading days after
the Premier Royalty Shares begin trading on the TSX under the
symbol "NSR", the TSX may permit the early release of
the Premier Royalty Shares and warrants from escrow;
All common shares of Premier Royalty Corporation,
including approximately 33.7 million common shares held by
Premier Gold, were exchanged for Premier Royalty Shares on a
one-for-one basis, resulting in Premier Royalty Corporation
becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Premier Royalty; and
Approximately 16.61 million Premier Royalty Shares and
approximately 8.07 million warrants to purchase
Premier Royalty Shares were issued to former convertible
debenture holders of Premier Royalty Corporation and to certain
vendors of royalty interests.
As a result of the Transaction, there are approximately 62.9
million Premier Royalty Shares outstanding (on a non-diluted
basis), of which approximately 12.6 million Premier Royalty
Shares, representing approximately 20.1% of the outstanding
Premier Royalty Shares, are held by Bridgeport shareholders of
record immediately prior to the completion of the Transaction.

Premier Gold has acquired the approximately 33.7 million
Premier Royalty Shares, 5.5 million Premier Royalty Shares and
1.46 Class II Warrants for investment purposes.
Premier Gold may purchase or sell (subject to escrow
restrictions) securities of Premier Royalty in the future on the
open market or in private transactions depending on market
conditions and other factors material to the investment decisions
of Premier Gold. Ewan Downie, President & CEO of Premier Gold,
may be contacted for a copy of the early warning report which
will be filed by Premier Gold on Premier Royalty's profile on
www.sedar.com.
