GENERAL

This Information Statement has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the (“Commission”) and is being furnished to the holders of the outstanding and voting shares of stock of Sandalwood Ventures, Ltd., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”). The purpose of this Information Statement is to provide notice that a majority of our stockholders have executed a written consent in lieu of a special meeting approving the following items:

A Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to affect a name change of the Company from “Sandalwood Ventures, Ltd.” to “Eco-Tek Group, Inc.” (the “Amendment”).

As of the Record Date, there were 250,819,800 shares of the Company's common stock outstanding and 1,000 shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock outstanding (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). The holders of all outstanding shares of common stock are entitled to one (1) vote per share on all shareholder matters on the Record Date. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class were entitled to vote in aggregate, on all shareholders matters, 51% of the total vote on such shareholder matters (the “Super Majority Voting Rights”) on the Record Date. Additionally, the Company is prohibited from adopting any amendments to the Company’s Bylaws, Articles of Incorporation, as amended, making any changes to the Certificate of Designation establishing the Series A Preferred Stock, or effecting any reclassification of the Series A Preferred Stock, without the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. As a result, there were 511,877,143 voting shares eligible to vote as of the Record Date (including 250,819,800 voting shares which the common stock holders are eligible to vote and 261,057,343 voting shares which the Series A Preferred Stock holders are eligible to vote), and 1,000 Series A Preferred Stock shares which were required to approve any amendment of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation by a vote of at least 66-2/3%.

Our Board of Directors unanimously approved the Amendment on _______, 2012. Nevada Revised Statutes 78.320(2) provides that any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting if, before or after the action, a written consent thereto is signed by the stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power.

Under applicable federal securities laws, although stockholders have approved the proposal described above, we are not entitled to file any amendments to our Articles of Incorporation until at least 20 calendar days after this Information Statement is sent or given to our stockholders. Therefore, following the expiration of the twenty-day (20) period mandated by Rule 14c of the Exchange Act, and the provisions of Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, the Company will file a Certificate of Amendment to amend our Articles of Incorporation to give effect to the Amendment. We will not file the Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to effect the Amendment until at least twenty (20) days after the filing and mailing of this Information Statement.

The proposed Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation is attached hereto as Appendix A. The Certificate of Amendment will become effective when filed with the Nevada Secretary of State. We anticipate that such filing will occur twenty (20) days after this Information Statement is first mailed to our shareholders.

The entire cost of furnishing this Information Statement will be borne by the Company. We will request brokerage houses, nominees, custodians, fiduciaries and other like parties to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of our common stock held of record by them.

Our Board of Directors fixed the close of business on _________, 2012, as the Record Date for the determination of shareholders who are entitled to receive this Information Statement.

In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire shares (for example, upon exercise of an option or warrant) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person by reason of such acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in the following table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual voting power at any particular date.

PROPOSAL NUMBER 1

A NAME CHANGE OF THE COMPANY FROM

“SANDALWOOD VENTURES, LTD.” TO “ECO-TEK GROUP, INC.”

General

The Board of Directors previously unanimously approved a proposal to amend the Company’s name from “Sandalwood Ventures, Ltd.” to “Eco-Tek Group, Inc.” on __________, 2012. On ______________, 2012, the Majority Shareholders also approved this Amendment. The text of the Amendment is set forth in the Certificate of Amendment to Articles of Incorporation of Sandalwood Ventures, Ltd., attached to this Information Statement as Appendix A.

Reasons For The Name Change

On June 25, 2012, the Company entered into into a Share Exchange Agreement with Eco-Tek Group Inc., an Ontario corporation (“Eco-Tek”) and its shareholders (the “Eco-Tek Shareholders”). The Eco-Tek Shareholders included Luciana D’Alessandris, Jim Vogiatzis, Michael Zitser and Sergey Kartsev. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, which closed on June 29, 2012, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Eco-Tek in consideration for an aggregate of 125,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issued to the Eco-Tek Shareholders, and Eco-Tek became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Eco-Tek blends and sells “green” and environmentally friendly oil lubrication and automobile products. Concurrent with the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company changed its business focus to that of Eco-Tek and ceased undertaking any mineral exploration activities, which was contemplated pursuant to its prior business plan. In connection with this change in business focus, the Company anticipates letting the rights to its Sandalwood 1 Lode Claim expire in September 2012.

The Board of Directors and Majority Shareholders believe that a name change of the Company to “Eco-Tek Group, Inc.” better reflects the Company’s change in business focus as a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, as the Company’s prior name is tied to its Sandalwood 1 Lode Claim, which it intends to let expire. The name “Eco-Tek Group, Inc.” is already used by the Company’s wholly-owned Ontario, Canada, subsidiary, “Eco-Tek Group, Inc.” and the Board of Directors and Majority Shareholders believe that changing the Company’s name to that of its operating subsidiary makes the Company’s business operations, focus and products clearer to investors, potential partners and third parties. This is because “eco” is commonly known as an abbreviation for “ecological” or “environmental” and “tek” commonly known as an abbreviation for “technology”, and the Company plans to use technology to produce environmentally friendly products.

Information regarding the Share Exchange Agreement, Eco-Tek, our Canadian subsidiary, the operations of Eco-Tek, risk factors affecting Eco-Tek, the financial statements of Eco-Tek and other important information regarding the Company’s post-Share Exchange Agreement operations can be found in the Form 8-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 21, 2012, which may be viewed on the Securities and Exchange Commission web site at www.sec.gov in the EDGAR Archives and which is incorporated herein by reference. Shareholders may request a written copy of the Form 8-K/A to be mailed to them, at no cost, by contacting the Company, 15-65 Woodstream Blvd, Woodbridge, Ontario, Canada L4L 7X6, Attn: Ronald, Kopman, Chief Executive Officer or by telephone at (877) 275-2545.

Shareholder approval for the name change and the Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation was obtained on ___________, 2012 by obtaining the written consent of the Majority Shareholders, who in aggregate held 1,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock and 154,451,252 shares of our outstanding common stock, representing a total of 61.6% of our outstanding common stock, 100% of our outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and 81.2% of our outstanding voting stock as of the Record Date. The Amendment will not become effective until no less than twenty (20) days have passed after this Information Statement is first mailed to shareholders of our common stock and until the Amendment has been filed with the Nevada Secretary of State. Furthermore, the name change will not be reflected in the marketplace until the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has updated the marketplace in connection with such name change and affected a voluntary change in the Company’s trading symbol with the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board in connection with the name change. The Company plans to announce the filing of the Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation and its change in trading symbol in a Form 8-K filing filed after the filing of the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of Nevada, which will not occur until at least twenty (20) days have passed after the date this Information Statement is filed and mailed to shareholders.

Additionally, if current stockholders with a shared address received multiple copies of this Information Statement or other corporate mailings and would prefer the Company to mail one copy of future mailings to stockholders at the shared address, notification of such request may also be made by mail or telephone to the Company’s principal executive offices.
