Under the terms of a share purchase agreement dated February 21, 2019 between the Company and ISLV, the Company agreed to sell the Subsidiary to ISLV for the following consideration: (a) the issuance of 5,000,000 shares in the capital of ISLV, (b) a grant of a 2% net smelter royalty on the future production of the Prince Mine and Pan American Project, and (c) ISLV assuming a debt of the Company in the approximate amount of $220,000 and liabilities and obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary under certain agreements.
The board of directors of the Company has determined that the disposition of the Subsidiary is in the best interests of the Company at this time as the sale will eliminate significant debt from the balance sheet of the Company and also eliminate significant commitments and contingencies related to the acquisitions of the Prince Mine and Pan American Project.
