Montréal, Canada – May 25, 2010 – KWG Resources Inc. (“KWG” or the “Company“) and Spider Resources Inc. (“Spider” – TSXV:SPQ) are pleased to announce that they have entered into a binding letter agreement (“Letter Agreement“) which sets out the principal terms upon which it is proposed that the two corporations will complete a business combination (the “Merger“), at the conclusion of which the shareholders of each corporation will hold 50% of the outstanding shares of the ongoing public corporation.  The combined company will hold a current interest of 53% in the Big Daddy deposit, with the option to earn a further 7% to achieve a 60% interest in the project.  It is anticipated that the ongoing public corporation will continue to be named “KWG Resources Inc.” for a period of time after the Merger and will continue to be listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV“) and on the Canadian National Stock Exchange (the “CNSX“).  Following the Merger, it is proposed that the name of the ongoing public company will be changed to “Spider-KWG Resources Inc.” subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals.

Rationale for the Merger

KWG and Spider have decided to combine, as the logical next step of the continued exploration, and development of their jointly held mineral projects in Northern Ontario.  The Merger has been initiated in order to combine the companies’ respective assets and experienced management teams, facilitate future financings and rationalize operations, all with a view to enhancing shareholder value.  In particular, the Merger will result in the combined company having a majority interest in the Big Daddy Deposit with the ongoing right to operate the continued exploration, development and mining activities thereon.

Frank Smeenk, President of KWG, stated:  “We are delighted to have finally achieved an agreement to combine the majority operating interest in what has the potential to be one of the world’s pre-eminent chromite deposits.”

Neil Novak, President of Spider, stated:  “After 18 years of exploring the James Bay Lowlands area of Northern Ontario as co-venturers, this Merger places all of our exploration successes into one corporation.  A corporation which will be poised for the development of its main asset, the Big Daddy Deposit, while maintaining an enviable portfolio of exploration projects covering a range of minerals.”

Highlights of the Merger

It is anticipated that the Merger will be effected by way of a three cornered amalgamation under theCanada Business Corporations Act (the “CBCA“), pursuant to which Spider (a corporation formed under the CBCA) will amalgamate with a newly-incorporated, wholly-owned CBCA formed subsidiary of KWG, to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of KWG.

Prior to the completion of the Merger, KWG will transfer its interest in the railway right of way, in its 1% net smelter returns royalty covering the Big Daddy Deposit, the Black Thor Deposit and the Black Label Deposit granted by Freewest Resources Canada Inc., and cash in an amount to be agreed upon between KWG and Spider to KWG’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Debuts Diamonds Inc. (“Debuts“), in exchange for Debut’s interest in various diamond exploration projects and a number of common shares of Debuts to be specified, and will distribute all of the outstanding common shares of Debuts to the shareholders of record of KWG.

Under the terms of the Merger:

1. all of the common shares of Spider (the “Spider Shares“) outstanding will be exchanged for common shares of KWG (the “KWG Shares“) at the ratio of one (1) Spider Share for that number of KWG Shares equal to:

   1. the number of outstanding KWG Shares, divided by
   2. the number of outstanding Spider Shares,
2. in each case calculated as at the close of business on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the Merger (the “Exchange Ratio“);
3. each of the outstanding warrants to purchase one Spider Share (“Spider Warrant“) will, subject to regulatory approval, be exchanged for a warrant of KWG (“KWG Warrant“) exercisable to acquire that number of KWG Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio. All other terms of such KWG Warrant, including the exercise price and the expiry date thereof, shall be the same as the Spider Warrant;
4. each of the outstanding options (whether or not vested) to acquire one Spider Share will, subject to regulatory approval, be exchanged for an option of KWG exercisable to acquire that number of KWG Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio at an exercise price per KWG Share and on other terms to be agreed upon and included in the definitive agreement in respect of the Merger (the “Definitive Agreement“);
5. each of the outstanding compensation options of Spider (each, a “Spider Unit Compensation Option“) to acquire a unit of Spider (each, a “Spider Unit“), each Spider Unit consisting of one Spider Share and one common share purchase warrant of Spider, will, subject to regulatory approval, be exchanged for one compensation option of KWG (each, a “KWG Unit Compensation Option“) exercisable to acquire a number of units of KWG equal to the Exchange Ratio (each, a “KWG Unit“), each KWG Unit consisting of one KWG Share and one common share purchase warrant of KWG.  All other terms of the KWG Unit Compensation Options, including the expiry dates thereof, shall be the same as the Spider Unit Compensation Options for which they are exchanged and all terms of the common share purchase warrants of KWG comprising part of the KWG Unit, including the exercise price and expiry date thereof, shall be the same as the common share purchase warrant of Spider comprising part of the Spider Unit; and
6. KWG shall continue with its listing on the TSXV and the CNSX.

KWG and Spider will cooperate in structuring the Merger, which may vary from the foregoing structure on the basis of tax, securities, corporate law and other advice in order to ensure the most efficient structure for each of the parties and their respective securityholders.

Completion of the Merger is subject to a number of conditions, including, but not limited to, confirmatory due diligence, the negotiation and execution of the Definitive Agreement, the receipt of all required regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSXV, and approval of the shareholders of Spider.

The Merger will be submitted to the shareholders of Spider (the “Spider Shareholders“) for consideration and approval at a special meeting to be convened by Spider as soon as possible following the completion, to the satisfaction of Spider and KWG, as applicable, of their due diligence investigations and execution of definitive documentation.

Each party will pay its own costs and expenses (including all legal, accounting and financial advisory fees and expenses) in connection with the Merger, including expenses related to the preparation, execution and delivery of the Letter Agreement, the Definitive Agreement and such other required documents.

In addition, the parties have agreed that each party will pay the other a break fee of CDN$2.3 million if, among other things, the Merger is not completed as a result of such party completing an alternative transaction, including but not limited to a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, business combination, take-over bid, sale or other disposition of material assets, recapitalization, reorganization, liquidation, sale or issuance of a material number of treasury securities (except upon the due exercise of convertible securities outstanding on the date of this news release) or rights or interests therein or thereto or rights or options to acquire any material number of treasury securities or any type of similar transaction involving it or any of its subsidiaries other than with the other party to the Letter Agreement, the board of directors of such party withdraws or modifies, in a manner materially adverse to the other party to the Letter Agreement, its approval or recommendation of the Merger or otherwise fails to make such approval or recommendation, such party enters into a letter of intent or definitive written agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Letter Agreement), or if such party is subject to a take-over bid initiated by a third party.  This break fee will also be payable by Spider to KWG if KWG terminates the Letter Agreement following the failure by Spider to mail a proxy circular and related documents in respect of the Merger to its shareholder on or before June 21, 2010.  The parties have further agreed that, in certain other circumstances, Spider will pay a break fee to KWG of CDN$1.1 million or, KWG will pay a break fee to Spider of CDN$1.4 million.
