History
A shell that tried technology, then Quebec lithium, then Nevada gold, funded itself with ever more heavily discounted convertible notes and, by July 2015, had far more shares on issue.
2010-2011: From technology plan to lithium
The company began as Pay By The Day Holdings. In March 2010 it signed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire the assets of Grail Semiconductor and rights to other technologies, a deal that involved renaming it Oteegee Innovations. In July 2010 it issued 61,647,250 shares for 40% of Oteegee International Holdings, a Hong Kong marketing and distribution company, and agreed to raise first-phase funding within thirty days.
It did not manage that. On August 20, 2010 the Grail letter of intent was terminated, which the filing blamed on the company's inability to raise preliminary funding. The shares issued to Oteegee International were to be cancelled, and the company agreed in principle to buy a small stake in Grail from existing shareholders. Terms were never disclosed.
On November 29, 2010 the company turned to mining, agreeing to buy the Abigail Lithium Project in James Bay, Quebec, from Alain Champagne and others. It issued 15,000,000 shares, owed $250,000 in cash, committed to at least $300,000 of exploration and granted a 3% royalty. A $150,000 convertible debenture to Champagne followed in May 2011; its outcome is not known. By the end of 2011 there were 54,824,202 shares on issue.
2012-2013: Quebec to Nevada gold
In May 2012, by then called Tucana Lithium, the company bought the Lac Kame and EM-1 properties in Quebec from a Champagne-led group for 2,000,000 shares and $3,000, with staged payments tied to exploration spending. It also sold its old Pay By The Day subsidiary to CEO Jordan Starkman, who took on its liabilities.
Then the company changed direction. Renamed Rimrock Gold Corp. in January 2013, it merged with Rimrock Mining, closing on February 11, 2013. It acquired three gold properties in northeast Nevada, almost 2,000 acres, for 17,800,000 shares after a 1-for-8 reverse split cut shares from 66,435,908 to 8,304,488. The new shares were 68.19% of the company on a fully diluted basis, so earlier holders were heavily diluted. Richard Redfern joined as director and VP of Exploration, and the company raised $502,000 in a placement at $0.20 per share. In May 2013 it added the adjoining Silver Cloud property from Geologix for 500,000 shares, with 250,000 more if over two million ounces of gold reserves were found. In October 2013 it bought Ivanhoe Creek, 22 claims, from Redfern's RMIC Gold for 150,000 shares. Year-end 2013 shares stood at 35,464,627.
2014: Restated accounts and discount loans
The year opened badly. The former auditor, DNTW, was no longer PCAOB-registered and its partners were barred by the SEC, so August 2012 figures became unaudited and needed re-auditing. The 2013 accounts were restated: mineral property claims fell from $3,327,117 to $379,970 under common-control accounting, and the 2013 net loss rose from $798,606 to $1,225,857. Auditors repeatedly doubted the company could continue as a going concern.
Funding came from convertible notes. In April 2014 Redwood Fund lent $100,000 at 12%, convertible at $0.075 per share, below the $0.20 placement price. In August and October KBM Worldwide lent $88,500 and $42,500, convertible at 58% of recent low trading prices. On September 30 the Redwood conversion price was cut to $0.03, for reasons not given. Shares ended 2014 at 37,664,627.
2015-2018: Uptick, TJC and a quiet end
In April 2015 the company settled a consulting dispute with Uptick Capital and Zahav Resources, paying $25,502.59 plus legal fees, issuing 4,000,000 shares and 400 Series B preferred shares. Starkman received another 100. In July authorized common stock rose from 1.9 billion to 2.9 billion. On July 15, 2015 TJC Trading bought $10,000 of the Redwood note, and the company issued TJC a note of up to $200,000 at 15%, converting at a 65% discount, of which $10,000 had been received. Year-end 2015 shares were recorded at 780,761,356, a rise the beats do not explain.
As of July 24, 2015 the company relied on discount-priced notes, owed Uptick a cash settlement, and had unresolved questions over its Quebec properties. The record then goes quiet until August 2018, when it suspended its duty to file reports with the SEC.
