The Board knows of no other business that will be presented for consideration at the Meeting.
Any stockholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke the proxy at any time before the proxy is voted. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked by an instrument in writing executed by the stockholder or by his attorney authorized in writing, or, if the stockholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized, and deposited at the offices of our transfer agent, Interwest Transfer Co., Inc, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or with the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting.

Common Stockholders of record on the Record Date are entitled to one (1) vote for each share of Common Stock held on all matters to be voted upon at the Meeting, and all Preferred Stockholders of record on the Record Date are entitled to eighty (80) votes for each share of Preferred Stock held on all matters to be voted upon at the Meeting,.

Counting of Votes
All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the Meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes and abstentions.

An abstention is counted as a vote against that proposal. Shares represented by proxies that reflect a broker "non-vote" will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. A broker "non-vote" will be treated as not-voted for purposes of determining approval of a proposal and will not be counted as "for" or "against" that proposal. A broker "non-vote" occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary authority or does not have instructions from the beneficial owner.
Solicitation of Proxies
We will bear the entire cost of solicitation of proxies, including preparation, assembly and mailing of this proxy statement, the proxy and any additional information furnished to stockholders.

We may reimburse persons representing beneficial owners for their costs of forwarding the solicitation material to the beneficial owners of the Common Stock. Original solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by telephone, facsimile, electronic mail or personal solicitation by our directors, officers or other regular employees. No additional compensation will be paid to directors, officers or other regular employees for such services. To date, we have not incurred costs in connection with the solicitation of proxies from our stockholders, however, our estimate for total costs is $10,000.

Except as disclosed elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, since August 1, 2013, being the commencement of our last completed financial year, none of the following persons has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon:
| | 1. | any director or officer of our corporation; |
| | | |
| | 2. | any associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing persons. |
The shareholdings of our directors and officers are listed below in the section entitled "Principal Shareholders and Security Ownership of Management". To our knowledge, no director has advised that he intends to oppose the Amendments to our authorized capital, as more particularly described herein.
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE COMPANY’S CURRENT ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION.
The Board of Directors has unanimously approved, and is recommending to the shareholders of the Company for approval, the following amendments to the Current Articles (the “Proposed Amendments”):
(1) to amend the Articles of Incorporation of the Company to increase the Company’s number of authorized shares of common stock from 1,500,000,000 to 5,000,000,000 (the “Common Stock Increase”);
Our Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles") currently authorize the issuance of 1,500,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. On November 28, 2014 our Board of Directors approved, subject to receiving the approval of a majority of the shareholders, an amendment to our Articles to increase our authorized shares of common stock to 5,000,000,000 shares.
The general purpose and effect of the amendment to our corporation's Articles is to increase our authorized share capital, which is expected enhance our corporation's ability to finance the development and operation of our business, and to ensure we have sufficient authorized capital to meet known and potential share issuance obligations.
The Board of Directors has approved, deemed advisable, and recommends that the shareholders of the Company approve the Proposed Amendment.
If the Proposed Amendment is approved by the Company’s shareholders, the Company will file such Proposed Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State promptly after receipt of such approval. The Proposed Amendment will become effective upon filing of the Certificate of Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State.
We Urge Each Stockholder to Carefully Read the Proposed Amendments Before voting on the Proposed Amendments.
PROPOSED AMENDMENT NO. 1
APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED SHARES OF THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK
Purpose and Effects of Proposed Amendment No. 1 to the Current Articles
As of the Record Date, the Company was authorized, pursuant it its Articles of Incorporation, to issue up to 1,500,000,000 shares of its common stock, and there were 1,244,459,014 shares of its common stock issued and outstanding, and 5,000,000 shares of its Class A preferred stock issued and outstanding. The Board of Directors approved, subject to shareholder approval, an amendment to the Current Articles to increase the authorized share capital of the Company from 1,500,000,000 shares of common stock to 5,000,000,000 shares of common stock with the same par value of $0.001 per share.
The purpose of the Authorized Capital Increase is to increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance to investors, or held in reserve for investors for potential future issuance, who agree to provide the Company with the funding it requires to continue its operations, and/or to persons in connection with potential acquisition transactions, warrant or option exercises and other transactions under which the Company’s Board of Directors may determine is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholder to issue shares of common stock.
As of the date of this Information Statement, the Company has identified certain investors who have or would be willing to enter into agreements relating to actual or potential investment in the Company. Futhermore, the Company has contractual obligations to maintain certain reserve levels for specific investments, which obligations we may not be able to meet if we don’t undertake the Authorized Capital Increase. In particular:
| - | Certain existing investors require that they be provided with additional share reserves totalling 847,027,000 shares of common stock upon the completion of the Authorized Capital Increase. This does not necessarily mean that any or all of shares will be issued, but rather that such shares are held aside in the event they are required to satisfy obligations under their debt structure. |
| - | Other existing investors may require an increase in existing reserves upon the completion of the Authorized Capital Increase. This does not necessarily mean that any or all of shares of common stock will be issued, but rather that such shares are held aside in the event they are required to satisfy obligations under their debt structures. |
| - | Certain potential investors have indicated a willingness to provide additional equity or debt financing, upon the Company having the ability to issue, or place in reserve, additional shares of common stock. This may include investment structures that include preferred shares with conversion options. Any possible investments are at a discussion phase only, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain any such financings. The net proceeds from any such financings would be used for working capital / general corporate purposes, including the further development of the Company’s properties. |
| - | Members of the management of the Company have acquired shares of common stock (10,078,587 shares), but such shares have not yet been issued, and would be issued upon the completion of the Authorized Capital Increase. The purchase price for such shares ranged from .0145 to .005/share, with all prices at a premium to then current market price. The shares were acquired though a conversion of accrued consulting fees into shares. |
| - | An agreement to acquire additional ownership interest of several LLC companies (the “LLC Companies”) in an all-stock transaction was announced on July 21, 2014. Upon completion of this transaction, if all parties agree to sell their respective interests to the Company, up to 15,000,000 shares of common stock would be issued. The deemed price per share is $.01 for this transaction. The reason for entering into the transaction was to significantly increase the Company’s ownership of the LLC operating companies. |
| - | It was announced on July 23, 2014, that Group8 Mining Innovations would be providing $200,000 in additional equity financing, priced at 25% above current market on the day of delivery of funds, with a floor price of $0.01/share. Pursuant to a stock purchase agreement, dated July 20, 2014 with Group8 Mining Innovations, $100,000 has been provided as of November 28, 2014, priced at the floor level, resulting in a share issuance obligation of 10,000,000 shares of common stock. Upon receipt of the remaining $100,000, a further issuance of up to 10,000,000, but not exceeding, 10,000,000 shares of common stock would be required. The reason for entering into the transaction was to acquire additional investment capital into the Company. The net proceeds from any such financings would be used for working capital / general corporate purposes, including the further development of the Company’s properties. |
| | # of Common Shares, as at the Record Date of November 28, 2014 | # of Common Shares, subsequent to increase in Authorized Shares, with the uppermost impact of the above transactions, relative to November 28, 2014, record date. |
| Authorized | 1,500,000,000 | 5,000,000,000 |
| Issued and Outstanding | 1,244,459,014 | 1,289,537,6011 |
Reserved for Issuance 2 | 254,266,381 | 1,101,293,381 |
| Authorized but Unissued / Not Reserved | 1,274,605 | 2,609,169,018 |
| | 1 This number reflects the increase if the maximum required shares in the above noted transactions are issued, and includes/assumes the 2nd tranch of the Group8 Mining Innovations being consummated. |
| | 2 The Reserved for Issuance figure, both before and after the Increase in Authorized, is representative of the shares reserved for issuance that are the maximum (presently) possible required to satisfy obligations under certain debt structures. |
As of the date of this Information Statement, except as disclosed herein, the Company has not entered into any agreements relating to an acquisition of another specified company or specific assets of another specified company, pursuant to which the Company will issue shares of its common stock.
The Authorized Capital Increase will not have any immediate effect on the rights of existing stockholders, except as noted herein. However, if the proposed issuances described herein are completed (excluding the transactions relating to the requests for additional reserves and transactions for indeterminate financing commitments), the Company will issue up to 45,078,587 shares of common stock to the recipients mentioned above (the “Recipients”). Such shares of common stock would represent 3.62% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of Record Date.
If the issuance to members of management is completed, such individuals may decide to sell their shares of common stock. If members of management sell their shares of common stock, the market price of our common stock could decrease. If the market price of our common stock decreases, the Recipients may have a further incentive to sell the common stock that they hold. These sales may have a further impact on the market price of our common stock.
Although the number of shares of our common stock that our existing stockholders own will not decrease, the common stock owned by our existing stockholders will represent a smaller percentage of our total outstanding shares after any such proposed issuances are completed. Depending on market liquidity at the time, the sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock to the Recipients, and the resale of such shares by such Recipients into the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders and make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales.
Set forth below is a chart which includes the percentage of shares received by each Recipient if the proposed issuances are completed.
| Recipient | Number of Shares | Percentage of Shares Received |
| Members of Management | 10,078,587 | 0.81% |
| LLC Companies | 15,000,000 | 1.21% |
| Group8 Mining Innovations | 20,000,000 | 1.61% |
Other than the potential reduction in proportionate ownership, the dilutive effect on earnings per share, and other effects mentioned above, the proposed issuances, if completed, will not have any other material effects on the Company’s existing stockholders.
Potential Anti-Takeover Aspects and Possible Disadvantages of Shareholder Approval of the Increase
The increase in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock could have possible anti-takeover effects. These authorized but unissued shares could (within the limits imposed by applicable law) be issued in one or more transactions that could make a change of control of the Company more difficult, and therefore more unlikely. The additional authorized shares could be used to discourage persons from attempting to gain control of the Company by diluting the voting power of shares then outstanding or increasing the voting power of persons that would support the Board of Directors in a potential takeover situation, including by preventing or delaying a proposed business combination that is opposed by the Board of Directors although perceived to be desirable by some shareholders. The Board of Directors does not have any current knowledge of any credible effort by any third party to accumulate our securities or obtain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, solicitation in opposition to management or otherwise.
While the Authorized Capital Increase may have anti-takeover ramifications, our Board of Directors believes that the financial flexibility offered by the Authorized Capital Increase outweighs any disadvantages. To the extent that the Authorized Capital Increase may have anti-takeover effects, the Authorized Capital Increase may encourage persons seeking to acquire our Company to negotiate directly with the Board of Directors enabling the Board of Directors to consider the proposed transaction in a manner that best serves the shareholders’ interests.
No Dissenter’s Rights
Under the Nevada Revised Statutes, our dissenting shareholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to the Authorized Capital Increase, and we will not independently provide our shareholders with any such right.
The Company has no current plans, proposals or arrangements in place to issue any of the additional shares that will become authorized share capital of the Company pursuant to the Increase in Authorized Common Shares that have not been otherwise disclosed herein.
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that shareholders vote FOR Proposed Amendment No. 1.

"HOUSEHOLDING" OF PROXY MATERIAL
The Securities and Exchange Commission permits companies and intermediaries (e.g. brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, commonly referred to as "householding", potentially means extra conveniences for stockholders and cost savings for companies.
A number of brokers with accountholders who are stockholders of our Company will be "householding" our proxy materials. As indicated in the notice previously provided by these brokers to stockholders, a single proxy statement will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from an affected stockholder. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be "householding" communications to your address, "householding" will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If at any time, you no longer wish to participate in "householding" and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, please notify your broker.
Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the proxy statement at their address and would like to request "householding" of their communications should contact their broker.
OTHER INFORMATION
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 14d-14(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial reporting reliability and financial statement preparation and presentation. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of as of the date of this proxy. In making the assessment, management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on its assessment, management concluded that, as of the date of this proxy, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective and that material weaknesses in ICFR existed related to our failing to conduct Annual General Meetings. This may be counter to corporate governance practices as defined by the various stock exchanges and may lead to less supervision over management.
We are committed to improving our financial organization. It is the Company’s intent to hold an Annual General Meeting to remedy this situation immediately following the 10-K to be filed for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2014. We are hopeful this is a reasonable approach to take to resolve the issue with the focus on a current 10-K filing, and set the cycle for future years based on this timing.
