The Company determined to satisfy the indebtedness with Shares in order to preserve its cash for development of its business. The Shares issued pursuant to the shares for debt agreements will be subject to a four month plus one day hold period pursuant to applicable securities legislation.
The shares for debt transactions involving the Related Parties will constitute a "related party transaction" under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Securityholders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company intends to rely on the exemptions from the valuation and the minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 provided for in subsections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(e) of MI 61-101, respectively, as, respectively, the Company is not listed on a specified exchange and the Company is experiencing serious financial difficulty. The participation by the Related Parties in the shares for debt transactions has been approved by directors of the Company who are independent in connection with such transactions. A material change report will be filed less than 21 days before the closing date of the transactions contemplated by this news release. The Company believes this shorter period is reasonable and necessary in the circumstances as the Company wishes to improve its financial position by reducing its liabilities as soon as possible.
With the closing of the Transaction, and the recently announced private placement of $850,000, the Company intends to use its improved financial position to move forward with its plans for the Wolf Project in Fremont County, Wyoming, USA as announced on September 30.
