You will see below that the PP has been extended to March 3rd. I would expect that there will be some good news in the meantime, or maybe shortly after. ____________________________________________________________________
Bomax Resource Corp - News Release
Agreement to acquire Surinam Stone & Industries filed with VSE; debt settlement
Bomax Resource Corp BXS Shares issued 6552701 1997-02-03 close $0.48 Tuesday Feb 4 1997 News Release Mr James Bond reports
The agreement whereby the company would acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Surinam Stone & Industries NV was filed with the VSE January 20 1997 for regulatory approval.
As consideration for the SSI shares, the company proposes to issue to the SSI shareholders up to 25,500,000 fully paid and non-assessable shares at a deemed price of $0.40, being a price negotiated by the company and David Krenbrink of Tucan Investments during August 1996. The average closing price of the company's shares during August 1996 was $0.334375 per share.
The major assets of SSI are its contract with Grasshopper Aluminum Company, NV, a company wholly owned by the government of Surinam, for the exploitation and marketing of granite blocks from the Patamacca granite deposit in Surinam and an exclusive world-wide sales agreement related to the granite quarrying operations of SSI. Other assets of SSI consist of a contract for the supply of shot-rock and a pending road building contract. Although these other assets have value, they are not material compared to the value to be generated from the exploitation and marketing of granite blocks. SSI also carries on other industrial activities such as road building, clearing and rock blasting,
The Patamacca granite deposit is approximately 130km east of Paramaribo, the capital of Surinam, and about 35km south of Moengo. The deposit consists of grey-blue granite which is suitable for exploitation for ornamental stone production. It is characterized by a geological-morphological and logistical context favourable for the creation of a substantial industrial quarry.
A valuation report dated June 1996 indicates that the net present value of SSI in the granite quarry is US$8.0 million. This does not account for the debt of approximately US$500,000 owing to the company. Consequently the value of SSI would be approximately US$7.5 million.
At the annual general meeting rescheduled for March 1997 approval from the shareholders of the proposed SSI transaction will be sought.
As well, certain creditors of the company have agreed to negotiate the settlement of certain outstanding accounts payable in the amount of approximately $175,000 by the issuance of up to 350,000 shares, at a deemed price of $0.50.
The private placement reported in Stockwatch November 22 1996 of up to 2,500,000 shares at $0.40, with up to 2,500,000 warrants exercisable for one year at $0.40 has been extended to March 3 1997. This is a non-brokered private placement and no finder's fees are payable. The proceeds will be used for general working capital and for the development of the Patamacca granite quarry in Surinam.
