 COMPANY BUSINESS (INCLUDING MAIN COUNTRY OF OPERATION) OR, 
  IN THE CASE OF AN INVESTING COMPANY, DETAILS OF ITS INVESTING 
  POLICY). IF THE ADMISSION IS SOUGHT AS A RESULT OF A REVERSE 
  TAKE-OVER UNDER RULE 14, THIS SHOULD BE STATED: 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 On 23 July 2013 the Company adopted an investing policy focussing 
  on the natural resources sector (both exploration and production), 
  with a particular emphasis on precious mining assets and interests. 
 
  In line with its new investing policy, the Company is proposing 
  to acquire Red Leopard Mining Inc ("RLM"). RLM was established 
  in 2013 as a special purpose vehicle into which 205 unencumbered 
  claims (the "Claims") were transferred by Polaris Resources 
  Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of Quest Minerals Corporation 
  (the "Vendor"). 
 
  The Claims are located in the vicinity of Shoshone County, 
  Idaho, USA, commonly referred to as "Silver Valley". This area 
  is well known as the premier silver district in North America, 
  with total production to date of around 1.2 billion ounces. 
  Most of the Claims lie within the Panhandle National Forest 
  and upon Bureau of Land Management land. 
 
  The Claims cover a total land area of approximately 1,435 hectares 
  the equivalent to 3,546 acres. The Coeur d'Alene mining district 
  is approximately 77,700 hectares or 192,000 acres and has produced 
  approximately 38 billion grams of silver and substantial lead, 
  zinc, copper and gold. A full list of the Claims can be found 
  in the CPR included in the Admission Document. 
 
  The Claims are situated adjacent to two former major producing 
  mines, the Hercules and the Interstate Mines, each now owned 
  by Hecla Mining Company Inc. ("Hecla"), one of the largest 
  silver producers in the US. The Hercules mine discovered in 
  the early 1900's became a primary mine for Day Mines Inc. ("Day 
  Mines"). Day Mines was merged into Hecla Mining Company in 
  1981. The Interstate Mine was the initial primary mine for 
  Callahan Mining Corporation. Callahan Mining was acquired by 
  Coeur d'Alene Mines in 1991. 
 
  The Company proposes to use funds raised on Admission to carry 
  out near term exploration with the intention that this would 
  lead to the establishment of a small scale mining operation 
  to provide cash flow and grade and metallurgical information, 
  together with a systematic exploration program. 
 
  Admission is being sought as a result of a reverse take-over 
  under rule 14 and is subject to shareholder approval at a general 
  meeting to be held on 24 September 2013.
