(TSX VENTURE:SAN) is pleased to announce that Pursuant to a Plan of Arrangement (originally announced in a Company news release dated December 22, 2008, and approved by both company's shareholder votes announced May 22, 2009), Santoy Resources Limited ("the Company") has now completed its business combination with privately held Virginia Uranium Ltd.
