The Company continues to hold six exploration permits totaling 684 square kilometres in Burkina Faso, West Africa. The Company is in active negotiations to sell one or more of the permits to an arms length third party. The Company does not intend to perform substantive exploration activities on its permits until stability has returned to both the Burkina Faso political situation and the price of gold.
Company Management has been actively reviewing a number of project and business proposals to deploy the Company's $3,500,000 treasury. To date, Management has performed due diligence reviews on over 85 project and business submissions and has signed eight confidentiality agreements. None of the projects reviewed to date has met all of Management's criteria for an acquisition that will substantially enhance shareholder value and Management continues to seek a significant acquisition.
Annual and Special General Meeting of Shareholders to be held October 26, 2015
The Company is pleased to announce that the Annual and Special General Meeting of Shareholders will be held on Monday, October 26, 2015 at 10:00 AM PDT at the Company's head office in Vancouver, B.C.
At the Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders, Management of the Company will be requesting shareholder approval for, among other things, a Special Resolution to approve a consolidation of the common shares of the Company in order to make the Company's shares more attractive to investors in any future financing which may be undertaken by the Company.
While the Company's immediate financing needs will be met its $3,500,000 treasury, there is no guarantee that the current treasury will be sufficient to meet the future cash requirements of the Company in the event of a major transaction. In order to provide the Company with the greatest chance of attracting new financing, the Directors would like shareholder approval to consolidate the Company's common shares on a 5:1 to 8:1 basis at the Directors' sole discretion. The Company currently has an issued and outstanding share capital of 167,378,632 common shares. If the shares were to be consolidated on a 5 old for 1 new basis, there would then be 33,475,726 common shares issued and outstanding. If the shares were consolidated on an 8 old for 1 new basis, there would then be 20,922,329 common shares issued and outstanding. There are no plans to change the name of the Company.
The Directors are seeking shareholder approval to the share consolidation at this time in order to save the cost of holding a separate special shareholders' meeting in the future. Any share consolidation is subject to both shareholder approval and TSX Venture Exchange acceptance.
