Sydney, Dec 10, 2010 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Golden West Resources Limited (ASX:GWR), and its subsidiary, Aureus Gold Limited have entered into a heads of agreement with Silvrex Limited, a private UK Company, to seek to implement a merger of Aureus and Silvrex. Silvrex's principal asset is the right to acquire a majority interest in a 636 sq km tenement in the highly gold-prospective West African country of Senegal.
