1. The Bidder for the Company's interests in the "Bouse" and the "South
Copperstone" Gold Mining Interests has now been formally notified that
they have until 17h00 EST on Friday March 19, 2010 to complete upon the
transaction which now calls for the deposit of the full purchase price
of the Company's interests in its Gold Properties; these funds to be
placed in Escrow with the Company's Attorneys by no later than that date
and time, as aforesaid. This could crudely be referred to a "put up, or
shut up" notice. No further extensions of time will be granted
whatsoever or under any circumstances.
2. The Company' Management and its Advisors have expended significant time
and financial resources in and during the past two months upon a fairly
complex proposal (hereinafter referred to as "the alternative
proposal"); the purpose of which was designed to maximize and to
safeguard stockholder value in the event of your Company not being
prepared to the accept an immediate or unsatisfactory offer for its Gold
Interests. This alternative proposal was formally accepted on late
Tuesday March 2, 2010 by the Company's Management, it's Advisors,
Company Loan Note Holders, Searchlight Exploration, LLC and the
substantial minority stockholders in both the "Bouse" And "South
Copperstone" Gold Properties.
3. This implementation of this alternative proposal is now at an extremely
advanced stage and the Company is in a position to implement this
alternative proposal without any delays whatsoever; should this deadline
imposed upon the Bidder for the Company's Gold Interests; not be met in
terms of the aforementioned time deadline and upon the Company's terms
and conditions which are now inflexible and not negotiable whatsoever.
There are no legal, regulatory nor audit "Obstacles" in be overcome at
this juncture, in to over come in order to immediately temporarily
consummate upon and remove thus this temporary impasse..
4. Stockholders are advised that acceptance of this alternative proposal
could well result in an immediate bid for the Company without any
further or advance notice to stockholders. The Company's Management is
acutely aware of the alleged criminal activities of third parties who
actively and aggressively seek to cause irreparable to the Company, its
stockholders and its stock price. The implementation of the alternative
proposal failing which, the acceptance of the Purchase Offer will now
without doubt ensure significant financial losses to those who may have
acted in an unlawful activities in (a) the short selling or (b) The
Naked Short Selling in their trading in the shares of the Company's
Common Stock and/or (c) be or have been engaged in malicious, illegal,
defamatory or harmful activities on Internet Stock Chat Forums which
were planned, calculated, premeditated and designed to cause irreparable
financial harm to the Company, its Officers and its Stockholders . Their
actions have already caused severe but yet financially unquantified
damage to the Company, its Stock Price and to its Stockholders. The
Company in consultation with its stockholders may result in the bring
about of a suitable and just Lawsuit which will seek to redress and/or
obtain compensation from a Competent Court, these actions being
considered and based upon recent successful Civil Judgments being
awarded to Issuers under the same circumstances as the Company faces at
this time. We choose not to comment any further at this time as the now
proven illegal activities having being carried out by these influential
Internet Stock Chat Forums have resulted in admissions of guilt with
sentencing of their crimes to be determined.
5. The Company wishes to stress that this alternative proposal will only be
implemented should the Bidder for the Company's Gold Interests not meet
the imposed time deadline as aforesaid. Should the Bidder formally
advise the Company that it is unable to meet this deadline prior to the
aforesaid date and time; the alternative proposal will be accepted by
the Company and implemented without delay.
Stockholders are hereby cautioned in exercise extreme caution in their dealings in the Company's shares of Common Stock until such time as further information is made available. Stockholders may rest assured that the Company will be providing very detailed informative information without delay in order to (a) expedite the sale process of its Gold Interests and (b) provide stockholders with the necessary information to enable them to make an informed decision as to their actions in respect of their trading decisions in the Company's shares of Common Stock.
The Company's Management confirms and reiterates that as per its previous statements, it will not consider nor accept a bid for the Company's Gold Interests; that equates to a price of less than US$0.003 per share of the Company's Common Stock. We are not at this time prepared to elaborate any further on the pricing on these transactions; given the now very limited timing and extreme sensitivity of these negotiations. This will and may well change; and very rapidly in the event of our deciding to implement the alternative proposal.
The Company remains extremely positive on the outlook on the price of Gold and has now revised its outlook for mid to late 2010 to a sustainable and base price of US$1,300/oz in respect of the price of Gold which we have now upgraded from our 2009 outlook which was prudently based upon a price of US$1,100/oz. Based upon this expert and universally accepted outlook on the price of Gold for 2010, the Company is extremely confident that it is in a very strong position to only consider, negotiate and accept a sale of its Gold Interests upon the Company's self imposed, stated terms and conditions.
The Company's Management is now of the opinion that it is in an extremely strong negotiating position given the removal of previous financial constraints, the securing of the requisite funding to allow Management the flexibility to negotiate multiple offers for the Company's Gold interests and the given the desirability, demand and the inherent sought after demand and value of the Company's Gold interests.
The Company has secured the requisite funding required to implement this alternative proposal. All previous constraints placed upon the Company to dispose of its Gold interests upon what could possibly have been upon unacceptable terms; have now been removed. This has placed the Company is a strong and implacable position allowing Management to negotiate the best possible deal; with any such deal being upon the Company's terms and conditions.
The "Alternative Proposal" now secured and accepted by the Company has been effected with neither any suspensive nor actual conditions precedent, of whatsoever nature. The Company will now very aggressively and immediately act in order to secure and extract the promised long overdue value for its stockholders' and in respect of the sale of the Company's Gold Interests.
Stockholders are assured that the Company will now be releasing very detailed and constantly updated information on a very regular basis; as the Company's Management brings about the completion of the sale of its Gold interests within a very short period of time; and not the months of indecision and endless negotiations as has been be situation in which we have been placed, to date. This action will not preclude from the existing Bidder from resubmitting a revised Offer but will clearly allow, welcome and encourage a series of competing bids for the Company's Gold Interests. No longer will Management remain silent, we pledged "Transparency" to our stockholders; and these actions are a clear demonstration that we intend to honor that promise.
Further delays in this sale process are no longer deemed to be in the interest of our stockholders given the scramble for quality Gold Assets and the stable yet rising Gold Price. No longer will these delays will be accepted nor tolerated, by your Company's Management. The lack of information from your Company to date was correctly deemed to be necessary, fit and proper in order to safeguard the ongoing negotiations and more importantly, allowed the Company's Management and its Advisors the requisite time to study, refine, consult; thereby guaranteeing stockholders their position with the implementation of the alternative proposal as aforementioned, should the implementation of this proposal be deemed necessary in the absence of a binding and unconditional deal from the Bidder in the aforementioned timeframe.
Should be Company elect to accept to proceed with the "Alternative Proposal" as aforesaid. The Company guarantees that full and very detailed details of the value and scope of the Company's Gold Interests will be will be communicated to stockholders and all other interested parties; without any delays whatsoever.
Your Company's Management reiterates that your Company's shares of Common Stock remain tremendously undervalued, currently trading at a price of US$0.0001 per share of Common Stock; compared to an absolute guaranteed minimum buyout price of no less than US$0.003 per Common Stock; values our shares of Common Stock at a discount of no less than 1/30th of their absolute minimum value.
The planned and definite sale of these Assets is solely designed to unlock the true inherent underlying value of the Company's assets; to be coupled with a distribution in full of the net proceeds from this sale to our stockholders, this remains your Company's chosen route in the unlocking of maximum value for its stockholders.
The Company pledges to release many News Releases designed to advise our stockholders and other interested parties, as is necessary; in order to complete upon these transactions in the shortest period of time whilst ensuring that all stockholders and interested parties are provided the information that they require to make an informed investment decision.
