The SEC questioned the 'Intentions' in their letters to the Company!

The SEC's summarized concerns(see links below) over PR'S and Filings and the share distribution as an 'Inducement.'

Clearly their concerns were correct as supported by current complaints by investors and...

Investors were given false or misleading information regarding the July 16, 2010 'Record Date' through a series of PR's and Blog Updates.

This setup created 'expectations' and gave the appearance of efforts to give investors this 'share distribution.'

However, the most damning part of all is the ***March 14, 2011 Blog Update by Ken! ***
This was posted 'AFTER' several statements by the Company were required to give better clarity to avoid investor confusion!...(read the SEC correspondence)

Furthermore, the recent submission dated, April 13, 2012, an S-1 Registration Prospectus; the revised 'Record Date' from July 16, 2010 to December 21, 2011 has compelled many investors to file complaints.

The SEC’s Office of Investor Education and Advocacy (OIEA) processes many comments from individual investors and others. They keep records of the correspondence received in a searchable database that SEC staff may make use of in inspections, examinations, and investigations.

Blog Update: Regarding the BVIG ¼ share distribution. "It has been brought to our attention that some unfounded rumor has been circulating with regards to the BVIG share distribution. The rumor that the distribution is on hold for an indefinite period of time is unfounded and therefore not true. About one month ago KATX had received 65m shares from BVIG which was a portion of the 161m shares for the Handcamp. At that time the authorized was just 70m shares for BVIG and therefore had to wait until we received approval for the increased authorized to take effect in order for BVIG to issue the remaining 96m to KATX. The authorized has now been approved and Monday 13th Sept our attorneys submitted supporting documents to the TA for the issuance of the remaining 96m to KATX. Upon receiving those remaining shares, KATX will then proceed with returning both shares certificates of 65m and the 96m back to the TA for Book Entry and the 1-4 distribution will take place.

KATX and BVIG have been working to complete the regulatory requirements to have the said BVIG stock free trading upon issue. Originally there was to be a 6 month hold period for those receiving the BVIG shares. However, the said companies have decided it is in the best interest of the shareholders to file the additional required documentation to make the said shares free trading and eliminate the hold period.
Shareholders will be notified when the distribution filing is completed and approved by all regulatory institutions.

BVIG FILINGS AND NAME CHANGE Aug 25, 2010...Blog

We understand that some of you are concerned with where we are with our filings for BVIG in harmony with our company plan. Please know that we are working as hard as we can to get this completed. While it is understandable that all need to do their DD, however we have been informed of an abnormal number of inquires, calls and emails to the very agencies that we are working with that may give the appearance that we are not trustworthy. These people are unable to supply you with any more information than we are able to, however one must realize that these institutions are dealing with many more companies than KAT, and so therefore to cut down on the inquires to these various departments, please know we will continue to do our upmost to keep you informed as things progress. Also please be avdised of the following: FINRA has received the necessary documentation to process the Name Change for Bella Viaggio, Inc. to Kat Gold Holdings Corp. This corporate action will take effect at the open of business 08/26/10. The symbol will remain BVIG for the time being.

Share Distribution Aug 27, 2010...Blog

I meant to add this to the last blog: Due to the fact that we have decided to have the shares unrestricted upon receiving, it will take longer due to more filings, however they will be tradable much earlier than the original 6 month period that originally was the holding time. I cannot give a specific date so please do not inquire, just know we will continue to work diligently to complete all the necessary documentation and paper work as quickly as possible, in order to have the shares distributed to all investors through our T/A. So again, please exercise some patience.

As an update to the progress on the BVIG stock distribution, Computershare has informed the company they are now working with DTC to setup the distribution on their end and is hoping to have information over the next week or so. We have now approached the stage where shareholders will be informed of any and all progress of developments.
