Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On November 9, 2021, American Noble Gas, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) entered int a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with U.S. Noble Gas, LLC (“USNG”), pursuant to which USNG will provide consulting services to the Company for exploration, testing, refining, production, marketing and distribution of various potential reserves of noble gases and rare earth element/minerals on the Company’s recently acquired 11,000-acre oil & gas properties in the Otis/Albert Field located on the Kansas Central Uplift (the “Central Kansas Properties”). The Letter Agreement would cover all of the noble gas, specifically including helium, and rare earth elements/minerals potentially existing on the Central Kansas Properties and the Company’s future acquisitions, if any.

 

The Letter Agreement also provides that USNG will supply a large vessel designed for flows up to 5,000 barrels of water per day at low pressures, known as a gas extraction/separator unit. The gas extraction/separator unit is a dewatering vessel that the Company may use for multiple wells in the future.

 

The Letter Agreement requires the Company to establish a four-member board of advisors (the “Board of Advisors”) comprised of various experts involved in noble gas and rare earth elements/minerals. The Board of Advisors will help attract both industry partners and financial partners for developing a large helium, noble gas and/or rare earth element/mineral resources that may exist in the region where the Company currently operates. The industry partners would include helium, noble gas and/or rare earth element/mineral purchasers and exploration and development companies from the energy industry. The financial partners may include large family offices or small institutions.

 

The Company will also pay USNG a monthly cash fee equal to $8,000 per month beginning at the onset of commercial helium or minerals production and sales, subject to certain thresholds. Such monthly fees will become due and payable for any month that AMNG receives cash receipts in excess of $25,000 derived from the sale of noble gases and/or rare earth elements/minerals.

 

In consideration of the foregoing and pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement, the Company will also issue warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase, in the aggregate, 2,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at an exercise price of $0.50 (the “Exercise Price”) to three of USNG’s principal consultants. The Company will also issue Warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock at the Exercise Price to the four members of the Board of Advisors. The Company will therefore grant a total of 3,200,000 Warrants to purchase its Common Stock for a price of approximately $1.6 million in connection with the Letter Agreement and the arrangements described therein.

 

The Warrants will expire five years after the date of the Letter Agreement. If the Company (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of the Warrants), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price for the Warrants will be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator will be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be proportionately adjusted (to the nearest 1/100th of a share) such that the aggregate Exercise Price of the Warrants remain unchanged. Any such adjustment will become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re classification.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Letter Agreement and the Warrants to be issued in connection therewith, do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, the full text of the Letter Agreement and the Form of Common Stock Warrant, which are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and 4.1, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

 

 

 

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

On November 9, 2021, in connection with the Letter Agreement, the Company issued the Warrants. In issuing the Warrants, the Company relied on an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, amended (the “Securities Act”). Each holder of the Warrants has advised the Company that they are sophisticated and can bear the risks associated with the Warrants, and the Company has not engaged in general solicitation in connection with the offer or sale of the Warrants.

 

The information under Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On November 11, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing the entry into the Agreement described in this Current Report on Form 8-K. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

(a) General. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto (“Notice of Exercise”). Within three (3) Trading Days following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price (defined below) for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof. Under no circumstances will the Company be required to net cash settle this Warrant upon its exercise.

 

 

 

 

(b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of the Warrant Shares shall be (i) [*] cents $[*] per share (the “Exercise Price”).

 

(c) Mechanics of Exercise.

 

(i) Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise. Shares of Common Stock purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale without volume or manner of sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is three (3) Trading Days after the latest of (x) the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise Form, (y) surrender of this Warrant (if required) and (z) payment of (A) if this Warrant is exercised on a cash basis, the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above and (B) all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vi) prior to the issuance of such shares (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the first date on which all of the foregoing have been delivered to the Company. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(c)(v) prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid.

 

(ii) Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of the certificate for this Warrant, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

 

(iii) Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then, the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

 

(iv) No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

(v) Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.

 

(vi) Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

 

 

 

3. Certain Adjustments.

 

(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

(b) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

 

(c) Notice to Holder.

 

(i) Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

(ii) Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register (defined below) of the Company, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

 

 

 

 

4. Limitation on Sales of Warrant Shares. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, and agrees that it shall not sell, pledge, distribute, offer for sale, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Warrant Shares, in the absence of (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act as to such Warrant Shares and registration or qualification of such Warrant Shares under any applicable “blue sky” or state securities law then in effect or (ii) an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company, that such registration and qualification are not required. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless the resale of the Warrant Shares shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

 

This security has been acquired for investment and has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or applicable state securities laws. This security may not be sold, pledged or otherwise transferred in the absence of such registration or pursuant to an exemption therefrom under the Securities Act and such laws, supported by an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel, that such registration is not required.

 

5. Transfer of Warrant.

 

(a) Transfer. Subject to compliance with any applicable state and federal securities laws and the provisions of this Warrant, this Warrant and all rights hereunder may be transferred, in whole or in part, by surrendering this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

 

(b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 5(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date set forth on the first page of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

 

(c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

 

 

 

 

6. Registration Rights. If, at any time during the five (5) year period commencing on the Issue Date of this Warrant, the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities, by the Company for its own account or for shareholders of the Company for their account, other than a registration statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing shareholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Company shall (x) give written notice of such proposed filing to the holder(s) of this Warrant and any Warrant Shares as soon as practicable but in no event less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date, which notice shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, of the offering, and (y) offer to the holder(s) of this Warrant and any Warrant Shares in such notice the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Warrant Shares (the “Registrable Securities”) as such holders may request in writing within five (5) days following receipt of such notice (a “Piggy-Back Registration”). The Company shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such registration statement and shall cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All holders of Registrable Securities proposing to distribute their securities through a Piggy-Back Registration that involves an underwriter or underwriters shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such Piggy-Back Registration. If the managing underwriter or underwriters for a Piggy-Back Registration that is to be an underwritten offering advises the Company in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Registrable Securities which the holder(s) thereof desire to sell, taken together with all other securities which the Company desires to sell and all other securities, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights which the holders thereof desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering, then the Company may remove from such registration statement any Registrable Securities that the managing underwriters shall reasonably request. Any holder of Registrable Securities may elect to withdraw such holder’s request for inclusion of Registrable Securities in any Piggy-Back Registration by giving written notice to the Company of such request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement. The Company (whether on its own determination or as the result of a withdrawal by persons making a demand pursuant to written contractual obligations) may withdraw a registration statement at any time prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the Registrable Securities, including the expenses of any legal counsel selected by the Holders to represent them in connection with the sale of the Registrable Securities, but the Holders shall pay any and all underwriting commissions related to the Registrable Securities.

 

7. Miscellaneous.

 

(a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i).

 

 

 

 

(b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

 

(c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

(d) Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

 

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

 

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

 

(e) Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

American Noble Gas Announces New Advisory Board with World Class Helium and Other Noble Gas Industry Expertise

 

AMGAS Enters into Service Agreement with US Noble Gas, LLC to Provide Exploration, Development, Production and Marketing Services Relative to AMGAS’s Potential Helium and other Noble Gas Reserves on its Recent Acquisition of 11,000 Leasehold Acres in Central Kansas Uplift Formation

 

Lenexa, KS | November 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – American Noble Gas, Inc. (OTC-QB: IFNY) (“AMGAS” or the “Company”). An independent oil, gas, and noble gas exploration and development company announced today it has entered into formed a new advisory board containing four world-class noble gas industry experts. The advisory board will provide unique guidance and experience to the Company as it evaluates its reserve potential of noble gases, specifically including helium, relative to its recently acquired 11,000-acre oil & gas properties in the Otis/Albert Field located on the Kansas Central Uplift (the “Central Kansas Properties”).

 

In addition, AMGAS would like to inform its shareholders about its expansion towards the exploration and production of natural gas, helium, and other noble gases in addition to traditional crude oil production. In that regard, the Company welcomes the appointment of a highly respected field of experts in noble gases on their advisory board and its new partners at US Noble Gas, LLC (“USNG”). While we are pleased and continue to be very positive on oil production and have been working closely with the Kansas Tertiary Oil Recovery Program (TORP) in proving our oil reserves we have uncovered substantial evidence to believe there is natural gas, helium and other noble gases present on our Central Kansas Properties. The Company has been and continues to test its Central Kansas Properties for the possible existence of noble gas reserves and such tests have yielded positive but as yet not conclusive results. The Company will be conducting additional testing during the remainder of 2021 as well as possibly drilling additional pilot wells to support the existence of noble gas reserves contained on the Company’s Central Kansas Properties in addition to continuing to drill for oil.

 

New Board of Advisors

 

The company welcomes its new board of advisors reflecting its focus shift into noble gases. The Company has established a four-member advisory board composed of various experts involved in noble gas and rare earth elements/minerals. The advisory board will be formed to help attract both industry partners and financial partners for developing a large helium, noble gas and/or rare earth element/mineral resource, that may exist in the region where AMGAS currently operates. Industry partners would include helium, noble gas and/or rare earth element/mineral purchasers, exploration and development companies from the energy industry and financial partners may include large family offices or small institutions. The members of the advisory board collectively, are to receive warrants to purchase 1,200,000 common shares with an exercise price of $0.50 per share for a period of five years.

Management commentary:

 

Stanton E. Ross, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AMGAS remarked “The Company couldn’t be more pleased to welcome such a highly regarded team of professionals in their area of “Noble Gases” expertise to its newly created advisory board. We are pleased that the members of the advisory board recognize the potential for helium and other noble gases which may be present on our recently acquired 11,000-acre Central Kansas Uplift Property and decided to join AMGAS. We believe that commercial-level reserves of helium and perhaps other noble gases are present on our Central Kansas Properties and are committed to conclusively verifying this and incorporating it into our business plan going forward. The creation of this advisory board and the addition of these initial distinguished members of such is a critical first step in this process. In addition, the USNG agreement pairs us with specialists who can provide invaluable help to AMGAS for developing its reserves of helium and other noble gases. We look forward to working with the world-class experts on our advisory board as well as with USNG. Helium is a rare noble gas with considerable value relative to natural gas (methane). It is used in many high-value applications such as MRI coolants, space exploration and microchip manufacturing. The world is currently facing a well-publicized shortage of helium and the world needs helium”, added Mr. Ross, “The Company will continue testing gas that is produced from its test well and report such analysis in updates to follow,” concluded Mr. Ross.
