Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
At the Company’s annual general meeting of shareholders of September 3, 2009, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer discussed the following with the Company’s shareholders:
The company is currently investigating potential financings to put its Borealis gold property into production. To begin construction this fall, prior to the onset of winter weather that might delay construction, the financing must be complete by the end of this October. To help meet this timeline, we have engaged a New York based investment banking firm. The firm is assisting in identifying and approaching the market with possible structures.
Based on work performed thus far, and based on our timing requirements, a convertible debt structure is our preference. This type of instrument could be placed with large institutional investors in a time frame that meets our requirements.
To facilitate the financing process we have called a special meeting. This was done as a separate meeting from the AGM because the items the company needs to deal with were not identified, and the pre feasibility study was not completed at the time the AGM materials needed to be mailed to shareholders. The Company is dealing with four items at the special meeting.
The Company’s CEO then described the details of the four items to be voted on at the special meeting of shareholders. The details of the these items are available in the Company’s proxy statement on Schedule 14A as filed on September 10, 2009.
