Ergon Asphalt & Emulsions backed its licensing partnership with real capital: a $2 million strategic investment buying 24.94 million shares plus a matching warrant at $0.08018/share, with a standstill on selling those shares tied to Verde's planned public offering and Nasdaq uplisting.

Verde finalized its license deal with Ergon - the largest asphalt marketer in North America - granting exclusive US, Canadian and Mexican rights to its Verde V24 biochar-asphalt agent for 10 years, with Ergon committing to buy V24 at a fixed price and share 40% of related carbon credits back to Verde. In the same filing, Verde expanded its underlying technology license from C-Twelve to cover Canada and Mexico, taking on a $2 million loan plus $1 million fee to C-Twelve that becomes due within 30 days of Verde listing on a US national exchange - with a hard July 31, 2026 deadline after which C-Twelve can declare Verde in breach.

Verde landed its most credible commercial partner yet: a memorandum of understanding with Ergon Asphalt & Emulsion - part of Ergon, Inc., a major, privately held US asphalt company - to work toward an exclusive US license for Verde's TerraZyme soil-stabilization enzyme and V24 emulsifying agent.

Verde sold its La Belle, Missouri biochar farm property for $350,000 - about $150,000 less than the $500,000 it paid to buy the site outright in 2022 - winding down that specific US carbon-farming site as the company's road-material licensing deals took priority.

Verde hired AUM Media as a capital-markets and investor-relations advisor specifically to prepare for an equity raise and a planned Nasdaq uplisting, paying $6,000/month plus shares equal to 0.75% of shares outstanding - the first concrete step toward the uplisting that later becomes a hard deadline under the C-Twelve loan.

Verde finally closed its acquisition of Bio Resources Limited and its Catalytic Biofraction pyrolysis IP, 17 months after first agreeing to the deal. The filing also revealed Verde now runs three distinct business lines: gold mining (Champmark), renewable biomass products (Verde Resources Malaysia), and a new planned THC-free cannabinoid distribution business (Verde Life, Oregon) - a striking diversification for a company that started as a single Nevada mining shell.

Verde signed a 5-year deal to supply carbon-negative agricultural inputs (biochar and bio-enzymes) to The Borneo Food Group, the SugarBun and Sabasco restaurant-brand owner - a related-party contract, since Borneo Food's parent, Borneo Oil Berhad, is also one of Verde's largest shareholders.

Verde backed away from outright buying the Segama Ventures factory site, canceling that $1.6 million purchase (getting its $800,000 deposit refunded) in favor of a cheaper 7-year lease-with-option-to-purchase arrangement - a more capital-conservative way to secure the same expansion site.

Verde's Missouri subsidiary leased a 24-acre property in La Belle, Missouri with an option to buy it for $490,000, to start a US biochar "carbon farming" operation - its renewables pivot's first move onto American soil. (This filing duplicates an identical one filed the same week under a separate accession number - apparently a filer-side double submission.)

Verde's Missouri subsidiary leased a 24-acre property in La Belle, Missouri with an option to buy it for $490,000, to start a US biochar "carbon farming" operation - its renewables pivot's first move onto American soil.

Verde disclosed the real substance behind its renewables pivot: a May 2021 deal to buy Bio Resources Limited, owner of the "Catalytic Biofraction Process" - a pyrolysis technology that turns palm-oil waste into bio-oil, biochar and other products - for 321.5 million shares plus $20.355 million in promissory notes to 17 lenders. In January 2022 Verde got those lenders to convert the entire $20.355 million note balance into stock instead of cash, avoiding a major debt repayment at the cost of further dilution.

The reverse merger's first concrete step: Federal Mining Resources assigned Verde management rights over Champmark Sdn Bhd, the Malaysian contractor operating the Merapoh Gold Mine, in exchange for 80 million Verde shares - while Verde simultaneously cancelled its old Nevada gold-claims purchase agreement, formally ending its original mining-shell business.

Verde struck a much bigger version of the Merapoh gold mine deal: Federal Mining Resources Ltd. (via its subsidiary, also confusingly named Gold Billions) will take 100% of the mine's operating rights in exchange for 80 million new Verde shares - 95% of the company - triggering a full change of control. Founders Stephen Spalding and Michael Stiege will resign, replaced by Wu Ming Ding, Balakrishnan B S Muthu and Liang Wai Keen.

Looking for a real project, Verde agreed to issue 10 million escrowed shares to Gold Billion Global Limited in exchange for a 10% interest in the Merapoh Gold Mine in Pahang, Malaysia, pending a cash deposit into the company - its first move toward becoming a Malaysian gold miner.
