ITEM 1:       CHANGE IN CONTROL

        On October 27, 2003 ("Effective Date"), pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated effective October 10, 2003 ("Agreement and Plan"), by and among Oban Mining, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), and Ikona Gear International, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Ikona"), the Company acquired 11,957,306 shares, representing 99.4%, of the outstanding capital stock of Ikona (the "Acquisition") in exchange for the issuance of shares of common stock of the Company. Effective October 30, 2003, the Company completed the acquisition of the remaining 76,000 of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Ikona. As a result of these events, Ikona became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The transaction is to be accounted for as a recapitalization of Ikona.

Summary of Terms of Acquisition

        On the Effective Date, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan, the Company completed the first closing of an exchange offering to the Ikona shareholders to enter into voluntary share exchange agreements. Under the share exchange agreements, each outstanding share of Ikona could be exchanged for 1.25 shares of Oban common stock. The exchange offering has been undertaken in reliance upon exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable exemptions under the securities laws of the Province of British Columbia. All shares of Oban common stock issued to the Ikona shareholders in exchange for Ikona common stock will be "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933.

        As of the close of business on October 27, 2003, Ikona shareholders owning an aggregate of 11,957,306 shares of Ikona common stock exchanged those shares for an aggregate of 14,946,633 shares of Oban common stock. The shares of Ikona tendered for exchange at the first closing represented 99.4% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Ikona common stock.

        Concurrently with the first closing on October 27, 2003, Richard Achron, a director of the Company and its former president, voluntarily surrendered to the Company for cancellation an aggregate of 14.5 million shares of Oban common stock. As of the close of business on October 27, 2003, there were 21,760,633 shares of Oban common stock outstanding, of which Ikona shareholders owned 76.9%, or an aggregate of 16,746,633 shares.

        Effective October 30, 2003, the Company completed the final Ikona closing with the acquisition of the remaining 76,000 issued and outstanding shares of Ikona common stock by consummating Share Exchange Agreements with the remaining Ikona shareholders, pursuant to which the Company issued to those shareholders an additional 95,000 shares of Oban common stock. When added to the shares tendered for exchange and issued in the first closing, the acquisition consisted of Oban acquiring from the Ikona shareholders 100%, or an aggregate of 12,033,306 shares, of common stock in exchange for 15,041,633 shares of Oban common stock.

        Giving effect to the cancellation of Mr. Achron's 14.5 million shares and the final Ikona closing, the Ikona shareholders immediately following the final closing of the voluntary share exchange agreements owned 77.1% or an aggregate of 16,841,633 of the 21,855,633 total issued and outstanding shares of Oban common stock. As a result, these transactions constituted a change in control of Oban.
