During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we have issued and sold the securities described below without registering the securities under the Securities Act.
On February 6, 2024, we issued 116,413 shares of our common stock pursuant to the Plan or Arrangement (the “Arrangement”) between the Company and Kaizen. We issued the shares without registration in reliance upon Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act. Immediately prior to the closing of the Arrangement, the Company beneficially owned 54,428,971 common shares of Kaizen, representing 82.54% of the issued and outstanding common shares on a non-diluted basis. Following the closing of the Arrangement, the Company owns 69,229,659 common shares of Kaizen, representing 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares on a fully diluted basis. Effective February 6, 2024, Kaizen is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company acquired the common shares of Kaizen in consideration for the issuance of one share of common stock of the Company for every 127 common shares of Kaizen issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Arrangement.
On February 21, 2024, we issued 12,765 shares of our common stock at a price of $11.75 per share to Exiro Minerals USA Corp. as partial consideration for the right to earn in on the White Hill Copper Project. The issuance of the above securities was exempt pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.
The Company entered into a definitive Option Agreement with Golden Arrow Mining Corporation (GAMC) on February 29, 2024, pursuant to which the Company has the option of acquiring all of GAMC’s right, title and interest in and to the New York Canyon Project until August 1, 2025.
