The Filing Statement describes the Company’s previously announced proposed share acquisition (the “Transaction“) with Canadian Gold Resources Ltd.

The Company has received conditional approval of the Exchange to complete the Transaction, subject to closing of the Transaction by no later than January 28, 2025. Completion of the Transaction remains subject to a number of conditions, including final approval of the Exchange. The Company also received conditional approval of the Exchange for the concurrent private placements of Canadian Gold and Amseco, the name change of Amseco to “Canadian Gold Resources Ltd.” (the “Name Change“), the consolidation of the issued and outstanding common shares of Amseco (the “Amseco Shares“) on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation Amseco Share for each 5 pre-consolidation Amseco Shares (the “Consolidation“) and the adoption of a new 10% rolling stock option plan upon closing of the Transaction (the “New Plan“).
The Company also announces amendments to the minimum and maximum proceeds in its previously announced concurrent private placement. As a condition to the closing of the Transaction, Amseco will complete its non-brokered best efforts private placement, in addition to the Canadian Gold Financing (as defined below), consisting of: (i) a minimum of 2,600,000 units (the “Amseco Units“) at a price $0.25 per Amseco Unit, for gross proceeds of $650,000, and a maximum of 3,000,000 Amseco Units for gross proceeds of $750,000, with each Amseco Unit being comprised of one Amseco Share on a post-Consolidation basis and one transferable post-Consolidation Amseco Share purchase warrant, with each warrant entitling its holder to purchase one Amseco Share on a post-Consolidation basis at $0.35 per share, for a period of 24 months and (ii) a minimum of 2,666,667 Amseco flow-through units (the “Amseco FT Units“) at a price of $0.30 per Amseco FT Unit, for gross proceeds of $800,000 and a maximum of 3,166,667 Amseco FT Units for gross proceeds of $950,000, with each Amseco FT Unit being comprised of one “flow-through” Amseco Share on a post-Consolidation basis and one-half of one transferable post-Consolidation Amseco Share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant entitling its holder to purchase one Amseco Share on a post-Consolidation basis at $0.40 per share for a period of 24 months.
Upon Closing of the Transaction, Canadian Gold is expected to complete a non-brokered best efforts private placement through the issuance of 52,000 common shares of Canadian Gold (the “Canadian Gold Shares“) at a price of $0.25 per Canadian Gold Share for gross proceeds of $13,000.
The New Plan will replace the Company’s current stock option plan. Pursuant to the New Plan, the board of directors may grant stock options to directors, officers, employees, and consultants of the Company up to a maximum of 10% of the total the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company from time to time.
