28 Oct 2005asset acquisition disposition● NeutralMajor

On October 24, 2005 the company completed taking over Nanominerals Corp.'s interest in the Clarkdale Slag Project joint venture, saying it had met all its obligations, including the $690,000 repayment and the 5% royalty. An amendment clarified the royalty terms. It now has the right to earn up to a 50% interest. The 6,000,000 warrants at $0.75 promised in June became warrants for 10,000,000 shares at $0.375 for NMC and 2,000,000 for NMC's designate Clarion Finanz AG, expiring June 1, 2015. The filing says the share numbers were adjusted for the September 30, 2005 two-for-one split. Existing holders face potential dilution if the warrants are exercised. This resolves the June 2005 Clarkdale deal.

19 Sept 2005capital raising announcement▲ GoodMajor

The company closed three private placements in September 2005 raising US$3.055 million in total: US$1,597,500 in Canada (3,195,000 units), US$1,350,000 in Europe through Clarion Finanz AG (2,700,000 units) and US$115,000 in the U.S. (230,000 units). Each unit is a share plus half a warrant at US$1.25 for nine months. This resolves the open question of whether the $2,000,000 funding and the Clarion placement would close. The filing says proceeds go to the Searchlight claims, the Clarkdale Slag Project and general purposes. It also reports a $180,500 reclamation cash bond, an 18-hole drilling and 40-acre pit program budgeted at about $800,000, and a 2-for-1 stock split effective September 30, 2005 (subject to NASD approval), taking shares from 26,075,000 to 52,150,000. Authorized shares rise to 400,000,000.

14 July 2005business combination● NeutralMajor

Ahead of the Clarkdale slag deal with Nanominerals Corp. (NMC) taking effect, the company told shareholders that three NMC nominees (Carl S. Ager, Ian R. McNeil, Robert D. McDougal) will join the board once at least 10 days have passed after the notice is mailed. K. Ian Matheson stays on the board. As of July 12, 2005 there were 19,950,000 shares outstanding, and Matheson held 13,900,002 (69.7%, including 250,000 options). This continues the June 2005 assignment agreement and shifts board control to NMC's nominees.

24 June 2005material agreement● NeutralMajor

Phage Genomics signed an engagement letter with Clarion Finanz AG to try to raise up to 4,000,000 units at $0.50 each (a share plus half a warrant at $1.25 for nine months), with a 10% commission; the filing says there is no assurance it will complete. This follows the Clarkdale deal's $2,000,000 funding condition, and proceeds are meant for working capital and the Searchlight and Clarkdale projects. It also extended to June 30, 2005 the deadline for the restructuring required under option agreements on Searchlight-area mineral claims in Clark County, Nevada.

16 June 2005material agreement● NeutralMajor

Phage Genomics agreed to take over Nanominerals Corp.'s interest in a May 20, 2005 joint venture with Verde River Iron Company to process copper smelter slag on about 200 acres in Clarkdale, Arizona. In return it will repay NMC $690,000, give NMC a 5% net smelter royalty on its share of production, issue 6,000,000 warrants at $0.75 for 10 years, put NMC nominees on the board as a majority, and confirm by June 25, 2005 that it has received $2,000,000 in a private placement. Under the JV terms, funding commitments of $3,000,000 and $27,000,000 are tied to later work phases. This is a new mining direction for a company that began as a bio-pharmacology business.

A second amendment to the May 2005 auditor-change filing, covering both 2004 and 2003 audits and removing the earlier wording about an adverse opinion. It now says Manning Elliott's reports were clean other than a going-concern uncertainty. The change to Kyle L. Tingle, CPA, LLC stands.
