A written consent form that has been signed, dated and delivered to the Company with the “WITHHOLD CONSENT” or “ABSTAIN” boxes checked will be counted as a vote against the respective proposal. A Stockholder may effectively vote against a proposal by not tendering a written consent.
 
Consents, once dated, signed and delivered to the Company, will remain effective unless and until revoked by a written notice of revocation that is dated, signed and delivered to the Company before the time that the Company received written consent of Stockholders representing a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock as of the record date.

PROPOSAL
TO AMEND THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
TO INCREASE AUTHORIZED COMMON SHARE CAPITAL

 
General
 
On June 15, 2012, the Company’s board of directors approved a change in the Company’s articles of incorporation to increase the authorized common share capital from 400,000,000 shares to unlimited shares,  subject to Stockholder approval, and recommending the Stockholders approve such change.
 
Principal Reasons for Change
 
The Company’s board of directors approved the increase in authorized common share capital because the Company must increase its authorized common share capital in order to use equity to raise working capital to continue exploration of its mining properties.
 
If, or when, the Company obtains the requisite Stockholder approval of the amendment, the Company intends to file Articles of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Wyoming Secretary of State to effect the increase in authorized share capital. The effective date of the amendment will be the date such Articles of Amendment is filed. However, the board of directors reserves the right to abandon the amendment at any time prior to the effective date if it deems it appropriate to do so in its sole discretion. The form of the Articles of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation that the Company would file with the Wyoming Secretary of State to effectuate the increase in authorized share capital, if approved by the Stockholders, is attached hereto as Appendix A.
 
Vote Required
 
Pursuant to Sections 17-16-704 and 17-16-1003(a)(iii) of the Wyoming Corporations Act, the approval of a majority of a Company’s voting power is required in order to effect the amendment. Accordingly, the Company is seeking your consent to approve of the amendment.
 
Board of Directors Recommendation
 
The board of directors unanimously recommends that the Stockholders approve the Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized common share capital to unlimited shares.
