    The company revealed it had actually renamed itself Medcann Industries, Inc. back in January 2020, elected John Vivian as President/CEO/director in June 2021, and said it was negotiating cannabis-adjacent mergers or joint ventures (beverage, cosmetics, vitamins) - while admitting it had stopped supporting its OTC Markets listing and was not currently filing with them, and citing yet a third figure (200,000,000 shares) for the Pulver treasury return.

    After four years dark, North Springs Resources resurfaced under CEO J. Douglas Pulver with a pivot into medical cannabis: it acquired grow-equipment/product rights from Medical Cannabis Inc. (itself a company shareholder) for stock plus a purchase price the filing states inconsistently as $500,000, while Pulver returned 150,000,000 of his own shares to treasury; the filing also caught the company's OTC Markets disclosures up to date. Source filing is poorly drafted with apparent template placeholders left unfilled, so some deal terms should be treated as approximate.

    North Springs Resources deregistered its stock with the SEC (Form 15), suspending its periodic-reporting obligations - the company had gone dark after 2012 without ever filing the FY2012 annual report promised in its last late-filing notice, and by this point had only about 160 holders of record.

  3. 26 Aug

    With its new mining-lease deals and financing in place, North Springs Resources declared it was no longer a shell company; its Form 10-style disclosure recounted the company's original 2010 oil-and-gas joint venture (a 1% working interest in an Oklahoma drilling project) that preceded Harry Lappa's 2011 takeover and pivot to gold exploration.
