Northern Panther Merger Agreement

 

On August 10, 2020, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement with Acquisition Corp., NPRC and the Stockholder Representative named therein, pursuant to which Acquisition Corp. merged with and into NPRC, with NPRC surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (such transaction, the “Merger”).

 

At the closing of the Merger, which occurred on August 11, 2020, the shares of common stock of NPRC outstanding immediately prior to the Merger (other than shares held as treasury stock) were converted into and represent the right to receive (i) 581,053 shares of the Company’s common stock and (ii) 106,894 shares of the Company’s Series H Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series H Preferred Stock” and, together with the common stock, the “Merger Consideration”), which Series H Preferred Stock was convertible into common stock on a 1 for 10 basis (see Notes 8). On November 13, 2020, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,068,940 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for the conversion of all 106,894 outstanding shares of Series H Preferred Stock.

 

Pursuant to ASU 2017-01 and ASC 805, the Company analyzed the Merger Agreement to determine if the Company acquired a business or acquired assets. Based on this analysis, it was determined that the Company acquired assets primarily consisting of 1) cash and 2) mineral rights on a gold exploration project in Idaho called the Challis Gold exploration project. The Company excluded the cash received in the determination of the gross assets and concluded that the mineral right- Challis Gold project represents substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired. If substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the asset is not considered a business.

 

In accordance with ASC 805-50-30 “Business Combinations”, the Company determined that if the consideration paid is not in the form of cash, the measurement may be based on either (i) the cost which is measured based on the fair value of the consideration given or (ii) the fair value of the assets (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and thus more reliably measurable. Accordingly, the total consideration given consist of the shares of common stock and common stock equivalents of 1,650,000 shares, valued at the Volume Weighted Average Price for the 30-day period immediately prior to the date of the Merger Agreement of $7.6612 per share of common stock, or $12,640,980. Net assets purchased consist of:

 

Cash – US Dollars   $ 2,500,000  
Intangible assets – (mineral rights) Challis Gold Project     10,249,632  
Total assets acquired at fair value     12,749,632  
Total Liabilities assumed at fair value – US Dollars     (108,652 )
Total purchase consideration   $ 12,640,980  

 

As of the dates presented, mineral properties consisted of the following:

 

    January 31, 2021     April 30, 2020  
CK Gold Project   $ 3,091,738     $ 3,091,738

Maggie Creek Project     1,986,607       1,986,607  
Challis Gold Project     10,249,632       -  
Total   $ 16,356,862     $ 6,163,559  

  

During the nine months ended January 31, 2021, the Company did not renew the mineral claims on the Gold Bar North mineral properties and as such the Company recorded an abandonment expense of $56,329 included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
