Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement

 

On July 1, 2017, Vanguard Energy Corporation (the “Company”) acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock (122 shares) of Solar Quartz Technology Limited (“SQTNZ”), a New Zealand corporation, for a total consideration being satisfied by the issue of 213,402,755 shares of the Company’s common stock. SQTNZ was acquired from Solar Quartz Technologies, Inc. (SQTI), a Nevada public corporation, which owned 100% of the SQTNZ outstanding shares. SQTNZ has had no financial operations, but rather has been a holding company for the ownership of mineral leases in North Queensland, Australia. The leases cover land containing extensive deposits of High Purity Quartz Silica (“HPQ”). The rare HPQ assets are essential as a feedstock for the production of High Purity Quartz Sand, necessary in the first stage production of all Photovoltaic Solar panels, Semi-conductors and all high-end electronics. The Company acknowledged in its purchase of SQTNZ that the estimated fair market value of the deposits is approximately $530 million based on independently prepared evaluations.

 

The Leases - In 2016 SQTNZ acquired title to the leases as its sole assets. SQTNZ acquired the leases by issuing 122 shares of its common stock to the prior owner of the leases. The mineral formations that are of interest are known as Quartz Hill (represented by leases ML 30235, ML 30236 and ML 30237) and White Springs (represented by leases ML 30238 and ML 30239), all located in North Queensland, Australia (the “Leases”). These Queensland government leases were applied for in November 2012, are valid for 15 years from that grant date, are subject to renewals, and cover an area totaling approximately 308 acres. Upon development, the Company will have to pay a royalty of circa 2.5% of revenues in excess of $1.5 million per year plus annual statutory fees and environmental bonds (to be confirmed with the statutory authority.

 

In Australia the Australian nation owns essentially all minerals which are administered by Authorities in each Australian State or Territory. In 2012 an Exploration Permit for Mining (“EPM”) was issued, which gives the grantee the right to do exploratory work to determine the physical and economic viability of a mineral deposit. The grantee may then apply for an actual Mining Lease and make further application for granting of the Mining Leases to enable operations to proceed in respect to the Leases. SQTNZ is a holding company for Leases collectively known as Quartz Hill and White Springs. An independent engineers report (to AusIMM JORC standard) concluded that the Quartz Hill leases hold deposits estimated to contain approximately 14 million tons of 99% pure High Purity Quartz (SiO2) or “HPQ”. An additional approximately 1 million tons has been identified in a similar independent report at the White Springs location nearby. The 5 Leases described above were secured by Holding company SQTNZ and Granting processes are expected to conclude within 6 months. The lease agreements grant the holder of the Leases the right to exploit those minerals. The lessee is required to file an annual report outlining what work, if any, has been done during the report period and pay a nominal filing fee associated with that filing. These requirements are current for the subject Leases held through SQTNZ. Together, the two deposits are estimated to contain proven reserves in excess of 15 million tons of HPQ feedstock, which is in high demand in the marketplace to enable production of High Purity Quartz Sand (HPQS), the final product used in PV solar panels and other high-end electronic devices.

Mining Activity – We are in the development stage on the leases. Except for development of mining plans, no physical work has taken place on the Leases. Prior owners of the Leases spent considerable time and resources developing a mining plan that includes such considerations as building access roads, performing more exploratory tests to more completely define the deposits, build on-site infrastructure, consideration for handling overburden, post-mining restoration, management of environmental issues, etc. They completed those efforts by negotiating a contract with a major professional mining company to execute all mineral extraction and cleaning activities and delivery of field- cleaned quartz to the Company’s planned Pre-Processing Facility for a fixed cost per ton. The mining company will extract the HPQ and clean it onsite for a fixed fee of approximately $100 per ton delivered to the proposed pre processing factory and coastal port in Townsville Queensland. These materials can be used in many end products and opportunity for revenue generation by the Company. The Company plans to have the HPQ delivered to the Company’s planned pre-processing factory where further cleaning and upgrading will occur. The Company will not be directly involved in any onsite mining efforts. World prices for HPQ can range from $150 per ton and above.

 

The leases are accessible by existing public roads to the sites and detailed mining operation plans have been prepared by an independent mining company that is prepared to perform all mining operations and deliver cleaned HPQ to SQTNZ’s pre-treatment factory that the company plans to build at Townsville, Queensland, Australia.

 

Pre-Processing Factory The Company plans to build a pre-treatment factory in Townsville, Queensland, Australia that is estimated to cost about $10 million for construction and working capital. The HPQ will be shipped from the mine site to the new Townsville pre-treatment factory for low-cost preparation involving high pressure washing, crushing and sizing, ready for shipping to international markets. The Company’s management team is confident that it can re-establish previous orders for output from the pre-treatment factory that were originated by prior owners of SQTNZ’s Leases. These prior orders totaled US$ 100 Million in addition to orders from China and several other new emerging markets that require basic HPQ for their own “value adding” production centers. The planned new Townsville factory will provide a base for international sales operations focusing on generating high volume HPQ sales revenues from largely unprocessed quartz. While the Company considers generation of early sales revenues is a vital function, the Pre-Processing Factory will also produce “SQ5”, which is feedstock for the Company’s planned new Commercial Scale High Purity Quartz Sand (“HPQS”) Factory to generate sales into the solar, semi-conductor and all high-end electronics markets. The Townsville factory is designed with more than enough production capacity to meet both SQ5 feedstock and low-end production demands. This material sells on the world market for $2,000per ton and above with an estimated total cost of about $400 per ton for the Company to deliver SQ5 in Townsville.

High Purity Quartz Sands Production Factory – Subsequent to building the Pre-Processing Factory, the Company plans to seek an additional $28 million to build and operate a commercial scale HPQS production factory to further process the SQ5 HPQ feedstock in order for it to become suitable higher purity grades for use in the manufacture of Photovoltaic solar panels and high end microchips. This factory will initially focus on manufacturing Solar Grade, or Crucible Grade HPQS products to world standard purity grade HPQS, for supply to all high-end electronics manufacturers. The Solar industry utilizes the grade known as SQ7 HPQS extensively. This operational segment requires almost spotless production facilities and high-tech Clean Rooms, to insure ultimate high purity standards in the production process. The company plans to assemble a technical team that has previously proven its ability to meet these standards and successfully achieve appropriate production quality for solar and crucible grade HPQS. This factory will purchase high-level refining equipment for the facility upgrades in order to produce a product known as “SQ9” semi-conductor grade HPQS. This grade of HPQS is the highest purity and yields the largest profit margin. It is extensively used in various semiconductor industry applications and has consistent market demand. Semi-conductor grade SQ9 requires SQ7 solar grade HPQS as essential feedstock to enable manufacture of SQ9 semi-conductor grade. World markets for SQ9 is in the range of $12,000 per ton and above. The company estimates its total cost will be about $3,000-$3,500 per ton to produce.

 

Funding Plans - The Company is currently preparing documentation to solicit new equity or debt capital in the amount of approximately $10 million and $28 million respectively to build and provide working capital for the pre-processing factory and the HPQS processing factory, both planned to be located in Australia. Management is highly optimistic following strong indications from the Australian Federal Government's Clean Energy Fund ($ One Billion) that the Fund may facilitate most, if not all, of the funds required for the first stage funding requirement of $10 million to build the Pre-Processing Factory. Further, they may also assist with the second stage funding of US$28 million required to build the high tech HPQS production factory planned to be developed concurrently with the Townsville based Pre-processing factory. These fundings are not in place at this time, but we are optimistic that we will receive a positive outcome based on important high-level discussions with the Director/CEO of the Clean Energy Fund in Brisbane, Australia. However, it should be noted that there are other funding initiatives available to SQT that we are pursuing and we have a high level interest from several major venture funds in the USA. The acquisition of SQTNZ by Vanguard Energy will greatly enhance the prospects for SQTNZ’s success for completion of these prospective US$38 million capital fund raising initiatives.

 

High Purity Quartz Sand (HPQS)– Essential Component in PV Solar & all High-end Electronics including Semi-conductors. High Purity Quartz (“HPQ”) and HPQ Sands (“HPQS”) are extensively used during the manufacturing of mono-crystalline silicon, through the Czochralski process, in crucibles in which silicon ingots are produced for use in manufacturing PV solar cells and many other high tech electronics, and semi-conductors. HPQ is the only preferred material for this process and the essential crucibles, as it shares the same element (Si) and is almost non-reactive, assuring high quality silicon ingots. Apart from this, High Purity Quartz (HPQ) also finds primary applications in advanced lighting, telecom, optic and microelectronics industries. HPQS powders are required for Epoxy molding compound (EMC) used in the manufacture of most electronic semiconductors and is a fast growing sector which includes auto electronics for the rapidly expanding development of self-drive and electric automobiles.

HPQS is a critical material necessary for the successful manufacture of Photo-Voltaic (“PV”) Solar panels, Semi-conductors, and other high-end electronics, all of which cannot be manufactured without adequate supplies industry-standard HPQS.

 

HPQS is an essential primary material for the manufacture of:

 

 

· Photo-Voltaic (PV) solar panels

 

 

 

 

· Semi-conductors

 

 

 

 

· All High-end electronic products

 

 

 

 

· Fiber Optical cables

 

 

 

 

· Halogen Lamps

 

 

 

 

· HD and LCD television screens.

 

 

 

 

· Epoxy Mounding Compounds (EMC)

 

For three (3) years a technical team affiliated with the principle original shareholders of SQTNZ worked at a HPQS test facility, with two of the world's leading HPQS experts from the US and Germany. They developed advanced new refining and processing techniques for manufacture of commercial grade purity and commercial quantities of HPQS from the Company’s high purity quartz silica deposits, on the Leases located in North Queensland, Australia. One of these experts directly established two (2) of the other three global factories capable of producing HPQS and is available to establish the new SQT HPQS processing factory. There is always a global shortage of adequate supplies of industry standard HPQ and HPQS. Many businesses have failed as a direct result of supply shortages of HPQ and HPQS. Industry requirements for HPQS are not limited to the solar and electronics marketplace. There is also extensive usage in a broad cross-section of high-tech industries whereby the core stability of HPQS at extreme high temperatures is a vital necessity for the successful production of Semi-conductors as but one example.

 

Management believes the most valuable asset coming to the Company is access to the Technical Team described above, who have a rare ability to actually produce HPQS, since the majority of silica companies have repeatedly failed in their attempts to produce world standard quality and high purity HPQS.

 

Completion by Vanguard of the asset purchase of SQTNZ is in the best interest of the Company’s shareholders by providing the company with a potentially very profitable operational business in the booming solar energy field. This transaction has the effect of transforming Vanguard from a non- operational, non-asset owning, dormant shell corporation into a fully operating company.

 

Following its acquisition of SQTNZ, the Company changed its name to Solar Quartz Technologies Corporation and its public trading symbol to “SQTX”, both cleared by FINRA.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016

 

NOTE 1   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The directors have prepared the financial statements on the basis that the company is a non-reporting entity because there are no users dependent on general purpose financial statements. The financial statements are therefore special purpose financial statements that have been prepared in order to meet the needs of members

 

The financial statements a have been prepared in accordance with the significant accounting policies disclosed below, which the directors have determined are appropriate to meet the needs of the members.

 

The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs unless otherwise stated in the notes. The accounting policies that have been adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

 

a. Income Tax

 

The income tax expense (income) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income). The company does not recognise deferred tax assets or liabilities.

 

Current income tax expense charged to profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income and is measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.

 

c. Property, Plant and Equipment

 

All property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost and are depreciated over their useful lives on a straight-line basis. Depreciation commences from the time the asset is available for its intended use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the useful life of the improvements

 

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount.

 

f. Investments

 

Investments include equity securities (ie shares) of listed or unlisted entities. The company recognises and measures these investments at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

 

g. Impairment of Assets

 

At the end of each reporting period, the association reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indicator exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset's carrying value. Any excess of the asset's carrying value over its recoverable amount is recognised in the income and expenditure statement.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016

 

h. Trade and Other Payables

 

Trade and other payables represents the liabilities for good and services received by the company that remain unpaid at the end of the reporting period. Trade payables are recognised at their transaction price. They are subject to normal credit terms and do not bear interest.

 

j. Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held on call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within current liabilities on the balance sheet.

 

k. Revenue and Other Income

 

Revenue is measured at the value of consideration receivable after taking into account and trade discounts and volume rebates allowed. For this purpose, deferred consideration is not discounted to present value when recognising revenue

 

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method, which for floating financial assets is the rate inherent in the instrument dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established.
