In connection with the closing of the Exchange Agreement, the Company exchanged 10,362,000 shares of restricted common stock  of the Company with Arabian Peninsula Projects Ltd. (the “Shareholder”) for all of the issued and outstanding equity stock of APM Mining (the “APM Mining Shares”).

On the Closing Date, the Company issued 10,362,000 shares (the “Exchange Shares”) of  its $0.0001 par value common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) to the Shareholder in exchange for the APM Mining Shares. Neither the Exchange Shares nor the sale thereof have be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and are “Restricted Securities”as such term is defined by Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
