Huldra's Post-Restructuring Business Plan
Following completion of the restructuring, the Company intends to focus on transforming its Merritt Mill Property into a processing facility for mill feed for other gold and silver mining companies as there are significant costs associated with securing land, purchasing and building a processing mill, and a lined tailings facility. Such a facility would provide the opportunity for other companies to avoid the significant capital expenditure requirements necessary to build such a processing facility. In addition, the Company intends to resume exploration activities at its Treasure Mountain Project.
