On January 30, 2015, the Company entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (the “Letter of Intent”) to acquire all of the ownership interests of each of Cannon Resources, LLC, an Alaska limited liability company (“Cannon Resources”), Cannon Resources Holdings, LLC, an Alaska limited liability company (“Cannon Holdings”) (Cannon Resources and Cannon Holdings are collectively referred to as “Cannon”), and Bik Air, LLC, an Alaska limited liability company (“Bik Air”), in exchange for which the Company will issue an aggregate of 450,000,000 shares of common stock as follows: (i) 300,000,000 shares of common stock to the equity owners of Cannon Resources, (ii) 100,000,000 shares of common stock to the equity owners of Cannon Holdings, and (iii) 50,000,000 shares of common stock to the equity owners of Bik Air.

 

Cannon is a gold producing placer mining operation located in the north-central Alaska Range, approximately 50 air miles south of Fairbanks, in the Bonnifield Mining District. Cannon holds 173 State of Alaska mining claims covering 8,720 acres, and since initiating production during the 2011 mining season, Cannon has produced 12,479 troy ounces of gold, with production costs ranging from $450-$670 a troy ounce. Bik Air owns two Cessna aircraft, a 182A Skylane seating four persons and a 206 Cessna seating six persons. The two aircraft are utilized for general transportation purposes.

The parties intend to execute a binding definitive acquisition agreement within 30 days. There can be no assurance that any such acquisition agreement will be executed, or if executed, that a closing will occur.
