The Company believes its financial and legal issues have been resolved and the Board of Directors feels that the name change and the share consolidation are necessary and critical to make the next step in the Company’s turnaround which is the acquisition of a new business venture. All shareholders are urged to complete and submit their proxies as a quorum of 50% of shareholders is required to pass the resolutions.
The Board of Directors continues to review alternatives to enable IDSM shareholders to participate directly in the success of its subsidiary, Northern Graphite Corporation (“Northern”), which recently completed an initial public offering and obtained a listing on the TSX Venture Exchange. There are a number of complex legal and taxation issues which must be considered and the Company wants to be supportive of Northern’s efforts to finance development of the Bissett Creek graphite deposit as this will enhance the value of IDSM’s investment. The Company owns 9,750,000 Northern shares which represents an interest of approximately 31%.
