Cabia funded operations during the period from incorporation (January 28, 2010) to November 30, 2010 from the aggregate proceeds of $998,019 in cash private placement financings. Cabia had a working capital balance of $220,828 including cash of $193,223 as at February 28, 2011, which has since been used in the normal course of its business.


Cabia Financing

It is a condition of the Transaction that Cabia completes a brokered private placement (the "Cabia Financing"), for which Mackie Research Capital Corporation (the "Agent") acts as lead agent, of a minimum of 7,500,000 subscription receipts (the "Cabia Subscription Receipts") and a maximum of 12,500,000 Cabia Subscription Receipts (or 14,375,000 Cabia Subscription Receipts if the Agent exercises its over-allotment option in full) at a price of $0.40 per Cabia Subscription Receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of a minimum of $3,000,000 and a maximum of $5,000,000 (or $5,750,000 if the Agent exercises its over-allotment option in full). The Cabia Subscription Receipts shall be exchanged, without payment of any additional consideration and subject to certain adjustments, for units in the capital of Amalco (the "Amalco Units") at the effective time of the amalgamation on the basis of one Amalco Unit for each Cabia Subscription Receipt. Each Amalco Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of Amalco ("Amalco Share") and one-half of one Amalco share purchase warrant ("Amalco Warrant") with each whole Amalco Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional Amalco Share at an exercise price of $0.75 per Amalco share for a period of 2 years from the date of listing of the Amalco Shares on the TSXV. The proceeds of the Cabia Financing will be applied to property acquisition, exploration expenditures and working capital.


Summary of the Transaction

Pursuant to the amalgamation agreement entered into on April 4, 2011, (the "Amalgamation Agreement") Gee-Ten and Cabia have agreed to complete a business combination by way of statutory amalgamation, pursuant to which Gee-Ten and Cabia will amalgamate to form Amalco. The number of Amalco Shares that each shareholder of Gee-Ten and Cabia will receive upon completion of the Transaction has been negotiated and agreed to on a non-arm's-length basis and is representing a deemed price of $0.20 per Amalco Share. Gee-Ten has 6,954,784 common shares, 1,427,500 warrants, 270,500 finder options and 365,000 Gee-Ten stock options issued and outstanding, and Cabia has 40,480,000 common issued and outstanding.

Pursuant to the terms of the Amalgamation Agreement, Gee-Ten shareholders will exchange their common shares in the capital of Gee-Ten for Amalco Shares on a one for one basis and Cabia shareholders will exchange their common shares in the capital of Cabia ("Cabia Shares") for Amalco Shares on the basis of one Amalco Share for every two Cabia Shares, resulting in 6,954,784 Amalco Shares being issued to Gee-Ten shareholders and 20,240,000 Amalco Shares being issued to Cabia shareholders. As a result, assuming no convertible securities of Gee-Ten are exercised and the completion of the maximum Cabia Financing (without the exercise of the Agent's over-allotment option), 39,694,784 Amalco Shares, 7,677,500 Amalco Warrants, 365,000 Amalco stock options, 270,500 Amalco finder options and 1,250,000 Amalco compensation options will be issued and outstanding on completion of the Transaction.
