On August 23, 2012, Grant R. White resigned as the Company’s Corporate Secretary and from the Company’s Board of Directors. Board Member, Richard O. Weed was appointed Corporate Secretary.

 

On August 31, 2012, Mr. White resigned as Chief Executive Officer, President, Principal Accounting Officer, and Treasurer. (See Item 8.01 below) Mr. White’s resignation was not because of any disagreements with management or the board concerning the Corporation’ accounting practices, policies, or procedures. The board of directors plans to appoint an Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Principal Accounting Officer in September.

 

Item 8.01Other Events.

 

In connection with Mr. White’s resignation, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Focus Celtic Gold Corporation, a corporation formed under the Canada Business Corporations Act, (“Celtic”) retained Finao Advisory Corporation, a corporation formed under the Canada Business Corporations Act, (“FINAO”) under a Consulting Services Agreement. Mr. White is the principal executive officer and sole shareholder of FINAO. FINAO will assist Celtic to evaluate strategic alternatives, including completion of the Share Exchange Agreement dated February 27, 2012 among the Company, Celtic, Metallum Resources PLC, Metallum Exploration Limited, and Pacific Orient Capital, Inc. (See Form 8-K dated July 12, 2011 and Form 8-K/A filed August 1, 2012). Under the Consulting Services Agreement, Mr. White will act as Interim President of Celtic. Mr. White and Dorian L. (Dusty) Nicol are the two directors of Celtic. Celtic will pay FINAO $10,000 per month through October 31, 2012. Celtic adjusted its ownership structure so that the Company owns 24,420,000 shares (92%) of Celtic. FINAO owns 1,800,000 shares (7%) and Dusty Nicol owns 280,000 shares (1%) of Celtic. The Company transferred 280,000 shares of Celtic to Mr. Nicol to settle outstanding fees and expenses due to Mr. Nicol at August 24, 2012. The Company transferred 440,000 shares of Celtic to FINAO as partial compensation under the Consulting Services Agreement and 1,360,000 shares of Celtic to FINAO, as designee for Mr. White, in connection with Mr. White’s resignation, waiver of all claims, including severance payments, under existing agreements, and the surrender of 3,400,000 shares of common stock in the name of GRW Global Investments.
