2.       
Approval of that certain Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and Overseas Investment Banking Alliance, S.A. dated October 13, 2005, attached hereto as Exhibit “A” (the “Hazard Lake Agreement”), to purchase the Hazard Lake Property, a 355-hectare gold mining property in the Red Lake District in Ontario, Canada; and

PROPOSALS
 
Approval of the following proposals requires the consent of a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock and preferred stock of the Company. As of the Record Date, the Company had 104,721,648 shares of common stock, 100 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 100 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.
 
A majority of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company consists of 104,721,648 shares. Stockholders holding a total of 58,295,528 shares of common stock, or 55.6% of our issued and outstanding common stock, have voted in favor of each of the three proposals via written consent. The sole holder of all shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock also consented in writing to the three proposals.
 
The three proposals requiring consent from a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company are as follows:
 
PROPOSAL ONE:

AMENDMENT TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF
INCORPORATION TO CHANGE OUR NAME
TO “MATRIXX RESOURCE HOLDINGS, INC.”


The name change is being undertaken in conjunction with the change in our business as described below. The name change will become effective upon the filing of the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Department of State, Division of Corporations.

Our Board of Directors has approved Proposal One. Stockholders holding a majority of our issued and outstanding common and preferred stock have approved Proposal One via written consent.


WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY
AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY


PROPOSAL TWO:

APPROVAL OF THE HAZARD LAKE AGREEMENT


On October 13, 2005, we entered into that certain Purchase Agreement (the "Hazard Lake Agreement") with Overseas Investment Banking Alliance, S.A. (“Overseas”), attached hereto as Exhibit “A”, to purchase the Hazard Lake Property, a 355-hectare gold mining property in the Red Lake District in Ontario, Canada. The Hazard Lake Agreement has been (i) unanimously approved by our Board of Directors, (ii) approved by a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, (iii) approved by the sole holder of all issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock.

 
 

 

The Hazard Lake Agreement calls for an aggregate purchase price of $397,000, of which $197,000 is to be paid in cash (of which $67,000 has been prepaid), with the balance represented by a note for $130,000, payable in annual installments as follows: $25,000 on March 15, 2006, $30,000 on March 15, 2007, $35,000 on March 15, 2008, and $40,000 on March 15, 2009. As the transaction has yet to be fully executed, Overseas has extended the payment date to coincide with the closing of the acquisition. The Company has also issued 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock to Overseas. These shares were delivered from the 12,500,000 shares issued to GarcyCo Capital Corp. (“GCCC”) pursuant to the terms of the Agreement with GCCC. The Hazard Lake Agreement values the shares at $200,000 or $0.10 per share based on the current market price on the date of the purchase agreement. However, the 12,500,000 Escrowed shares were valued at $0.40 per share when issued to GCCC and, therefore, the Company is required to value the 2,000,000 shares transferred to Overseas at $0.40 per share for an aggregate value of  $800,000, thus making the total purchase price to Vinoble $997,000. It is possible that in the future the Company will be required to recognize an impairment of its interest in the value of the Hazard Lake Property.
 
 
PROPOSAL THREE:

APPROVAL OF THE CLOVELLY AGREEMENT


On November 15, 2005, we entered into that certain Purchase Agreement (the "Clovelly Agreement") with Sterling Grant Capital, Inc., attached hereto as Exhibit “B”, to purchase a five percent interest in the Clovelly Prospect, an oil and gas property in the Lafourche Parish, Louisiana. The Clovelly Agreement has been (i) unanimously approved by our Board of Directors, (ii) approved by a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, (iii) approved by the sole holder of all issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock.

The Clovelly Agreement calls for an aggregate purchase price of $115,000, of which $15,000 is to be paid in cash and the balance of $100,000 is to be paid with the issuance of 2,000,000 shares of registered Common Stock. The deposit of $15,000 was paid and is not refundable except in the event of significant title defects.  The shares were delivered on January 30, 2006 from the 12,500,000 shares issued to GCCC pursuant to the terms of the Agreement with GCCC. The shares are to be registered at a later date. The Clovelly Agreement values the shares at $100,000 or $0.05 per share based on the current market price on the date of the Clovelly Agreement. However, the 12,500,000 escrowed shares were valued at $0.40 per share when issued to GCCC and, therefore, the Company is required to value the 2,000,000 shares transferred to Sterling at $0.40 per share for an aggregate value of $800,000, thus making the total purchase price to Vinoble $815,000. It is possible that in the future the Company will be required to recognize an impairment in the value of its interest in the Clovelly investment.

As a matter of regulatory compliance, we are sending you this Information Statement which describes the purpose and effect of the three proposals set forth herein. As the requisite majority stockholder vote for the three proposals, as described in this Information Statement, has been obtained from a majority of our stockholders via written consent, WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A PROXY FROM YOU AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US ONE. This Information Statement is intended to provide you with information required by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

SCHEDULE "B"
HAZARD LAKE PROPERTY
 
 
The Hazard Lake Property is approximately 355 hectares and lies within the Birch-Uchi Greenstone Belt of the western Uchi Subprovince of NW Ontario. The Most significant mineralization discovered on the Hazard Lake property to date is at the Northgate and Milberry occurrences. The Northgate tested with one hole intersecting 0.4 ounces per ton Au over 3.3 Feet at 500 feet deep. The Red Lake district is a well known mining camp based on Archaean greenstone rocks which contains Placer Dome's old Campbell mine and Goldcorp's Red Lake mine which is described as the lowest cost, highest grade mine in the world. Red Lake's high-grade zone has been producing at a grade of 2 oz/ton (61.4 g/t). The Campbell mine has a reserve grade of 0.5 oz/ton and has enjoyed a reserve grade of more than 0.6 oz/ton. More than 20 million ounces of gold have been produced in the Red Lake district over the past 100 years worth approximately $8.6 Billion at today's value.
 
The Madsen mine property produced 2.9 million ounces of gold grading around 9 g/t. The property has a resource of 1.5 million ton grading 10 g/t and Placer has spent C$8.4 million to produce a feasibility study due by the end of 2006. Meanwhile, Goldcorp is exploring around the old Cochenour mine, which was the fourth largest and second highest-grade mine in the district producing over 1 million ounces between 1936 and 1971 at an average grade of 0.54 oz/ton. Newmont has taken interest in the Birch Uchi belt, which is the eastern extension of the Red Lake belt. It has not undergone a lot of exploration and is considered to have the same geology and potential as Red lake.

 
The mineralization at the Milberry Occurrence is believed to be the extension of the Hill-Sloan-Tivy vein north of the property. The vein can be traced for a length of 228 meters. Drilling on the Milberry Occurrence has returned assays up to 107.31 g/t Au over 0.91 meters, 151.54 g/t over 0.67 meters, 81.94 g/t over .76 meters, and 44.29 g/t Au over .91 meters.

Attention: Mrs. Catherine Thompson


Dear Catherine:

RE: CLOVELLY SOUTH

Sun Oil & Gas, Inc. (“Sun”) acquired a 10% working interest in the Clovelly Prospect in February 2005. The outlook then was that the test-well Allain-Lebreton #2 was going to be drilled in the second quarter of 2005. A payment of $27,630 was made to ORX Resources, Inc. (“ORX” or the “Operator”) as part reimbursement of the “sunk cost”.

Drilling was delayed and the corporate direction of Sun changed. As a consequence I resigned as its President and Sterling-Grant was assigned the property in lieu of compensation due to me and Sterling-Grant.

As per the MOU dated September 9, 2005, please find attached the Letter Agreement for the acquisition by Vinoble Inc. of, and participation in, 5% (five percent) working interest of the Clovelly Allain-Lebreton #2 prospect. The transfer and sale is subject to the approval by ORX, the operator for the property.


Sincerely,


Peter Wilson
Sterling Grant Capital Inc.
President

Attached: Proposed Definitive Letter Agreement
