In September 2011, the Company and its partner formed a Panamanian corporation, subsequently renamed Vera Gold Corporation ("Vera Gold"), for the purpose of developing and operating mining concessions pertaining to the Santa Rosa Gold Mine located in the Province of Veraguas, Panama. Pursuant to an agreement entered into in July 2012, the Company and its partner agreed to terminate the original agreement to develop the Santa Rosa Gold Mine, and the Company retained a 10% interest in Vera Gold. On February 12, 2014, the Company completed negotiations for a Share Purchase Agreement, whereby it sold its 10% ownership in Vera Gold to certain foreign investors for US$2.6 million.
"We are pleased to now have much needed funding to help capitalize the Company, extinguish certain debt and provide some working capital to commence planned exploration activities on our joint-ventured Nevada Properties," said Donald Gunn, President of the Company.
