PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary highlights selected information from this prospectus and may not contain all the information that is important to you. To understand our business and this offering fully, you should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the financial statements and the related notes beginning on page F-1. This prospectus contains forward-looking statements and information relating to General European Strategic Investments, Inc. See Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements on page 8.
Our Company
The Company was incorporated on December 21, 2001, and is currently active in the state of Nevada
On September 24, 2020, GESI merged (the “Reverse Merger”) with and into ZB. ZB was the surviving corporation
in the Reverse Merger and became the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary.
Business Strategy
General European Strategic Investments, Inc. possesses 2 large assets, with growth potential within the next 12-24 months. These
are referred to as the following:
The Finland assets consists of The Laakso Project which is 100%-owned by GESI’s wholly owned Swiss subsidiary, ZB Capital AG. GESI is the largest reservation permit holder in Finland’s prolific Kuusamo Mining District holding approx. 1200 square Kilometers of reservation permits and reservation permit applications as well as exploration permits, and reservation permits for 11 diamondiferrous kimberlite structures.
The second Assets is referred to the Arbitration and Litigation Assets as it refers to assets that the company has acquired via its
acquisition of a dormant company, the right to arbitration award rights in a potentially very large multi-billion-dollar arbitration
proceeding. The proceedings have only been slowed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the award is being fought and the company
expects to commence settlement discussions within this fiscal year.
In addition, GESI owns a 49%-interest in ColdPro LTD. (ColdPro), a private UK company specializing in waste management in the UK. ColdPro is a licensed UK-based integrated waste management business, and one of only six regulated approved authorized treatment facilities in the UK.
The current and anticipated future operations of the Company, including development activities and commencement of production on its properties, require permits from various federal, territorial and local governmental authorities and such operations are and will be governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. Companies engaged in the development and operation of mines and related facilities generally experience increased costs, and delays in production and other schedules as a result of the need to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permits. The Company's exploration activities and its potential mining and processing operations are subject to various laws governing land use, the protection of the environment, prospecting, development, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, mine safety and other matters.
Such operations and exploration activities are also subject to substantial regulation under these laws by governmental agencies and may require that the Company obtain permits from various governmental agencies. The Company believes it is in substantial compliance with all material laws and regulations which currently apply to its activities. There can be no assurance, however, that all permits which the Company may require for construction of mining facilities and conduct of mining operations will be obtainable on reasonable terms or that such laws and regulations, or that new legislation or modifications to existing legislation, would not have an adverse effect on any exploration or mining project which the Company might undertake.
Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permit requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment or remedial actions. Parties engaged in mining operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violation of applicable laws or regulations. The amount of funds required to comply with all environmental regulations and to pay for compensation in the event of a breach of such laws may exceed the Company's ability to pay such amount.
Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of mining companies, or more stringent implementation of existing or new laws, could have a material adverse impact on the Company and cause increases in capital expenditures or production costs or reduction in levels of production at producing properties or require abandonment or delays in development of new mining properties
Our executive offices are located at 6605 Grand Montecito Parkway, Suite 100, Las Vegas, NV 89149.
Our telephone number is 702-983-1256.

The Company shall continue to be deemed an emerging growth company until the earliest of--
‘(A) the last day of the fiscal year of the issuer during which it had total annual gross revenues of $1,000,000,000 (as such amount is indexed for inflation every 5 years by the Commission to reflect the change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, setting the threshold to the nearest 1,000,000) or more;
‘(B) the last day of the fiscal year of the issuer following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities of the issuer pursuant to an effective registration statement under this title;
‘(C) the date on which such issuer has, during the previous 3-year period, issued more than $1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt; or
‘(D) the date on which such issuer is deemed to be a ‘large-accelerated filer’, as defined in section 240.12b-2 of title 17, Code of Federal Regulations, or any successor thereto.’
As an emerging growth company the company is exempt from Section 404(b) of Sarbanes Oxley. Section 404(a) requires Issuers to publish information in their annual reports concerning the scope and adequacy of the internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting. This statement shall also assess the effectiveness of such internal controls and procedures.
Section 404(b) requires that the registered accounting firm shall, in the same report, attest to and report on the assessment on the effectiveness of the internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting.
As an emerging growth company the company is exempt from Section 14A and B of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which require the shareholder approval of executive compensation and golden parachutes.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock is highly speculative, involves a high degree of risk, and should be made only by investors who can afford a complete loss. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with the other information in this prospectus, including our financial statements and the related notes before you decide to buy our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the trading of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment therein.
Risks Relating to the Early Stage of our Company
We are at a very early operational stage and our success is subject to the substantial risks inherent in the establishment of a new business venture.
The implementation of our business strategy is in a very early stage. Our business and operations should be considered to be in a very early stage and subject to all of the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business venture. Accordingly, our intended business and operations may not prove to be successful in the near future, if at all. Any future success that we might enjoy will depend upon many factors, several of which may be beyond our control, or which cannot be predicted at this time, and which could have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, business prospects and operations and the value of an investment in our company.
We have a very limited operating history, and our business plan is unproven and may not be successful.
Our company was formed in 2001 but we have not yet begun full scale operations. We have not licensed or sold any substantial amount of products commercially and do not have any definitive agreements to do so. We have not proven that our business model will allow us to generate a profit.
We have suffered operating losses since inception, and we may not be able to achieve profitability.
We had an accumulated deficit of ($158,521,970) as of June 30, 2022, and we expect to continue to incur significant set up expenses in the foreseeable future related to the completion of development and commercialization of our sites. As a result, we are sustaining substantial operating and net losses, and it is possible that we will never be able to sustain or develop the revenue levels necessary to attain profitability.
We may have difficulty raising additional capital, which could deprive us of necessary resources.
We expect to continue to devote significant capital resources to fund set up and marketing. In order to support the initiatives envisioned in our business plan, we will need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financing, collaborative relationships, or other arrangements. Our ability to raise additional financing depends on many factors beyond our control, including the state of capital markets, the market price of our common stock and the development or prospects for development of competitive technology by others. Because our common stock is not listed on a major stock market, many investors may not be willing or allowed to purchase it or may demand steep discounts. Sufficient additional financing may not be available to us or may be available only on terms that would result in further dilution to the current owners of our common stock.
We expect to raise additional capital during 2022 and 2023 but we do not have any firm commitments for funding. If we are unsuccessful in raising additional capital, or the terms of raising such capital are unacceptable, we may have to modify our business plan and/or significantly curtail our planned activities and other operations.
There are substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern and if we are unable to continue our business, our shares may have little or no value.
The company’s ability to become a profitable operating company is dependent upon its ability to generate revenues and/or obtain financing adequate to fulfill its research and market introduction activities and achieving a level of revenues adequate to support our cost structure has raised substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. We plan to attempt to raise additional equity capital by selling shares in this offering and, if necessary, through one or more private placement or public offerings. However, the doubts raised, relating to our ability to continue as a going concern, may make our shares an unattractive investment for potential investors. These factors, among others, may make it difficult to raise any additional capital.
Failure to effectively manage our growth could place strains on our managerial, operational, and financial resources and could adversely affect our business and operating results.
Our growth has placed, and is expected to continue to place, a strain on our managerial, operational, and financial resources. Further, if our business grows, we will be required to manage multiple relationships. Any further growth by us, or an increase in the number of our strategic relationships will increase this strain on our managerial, operational, and financial resources. This strain may inhibit our ability to achieve the rapid execution necessary to implement our business plan and could have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, business prospects and operations and the value of an investment in our company.
Risks Relating to Our Business
We have limited sales and marketing experience, which increases the risk that our business will fail.
Our officers, who will be responsible for marketing our licensed products to potential users, have only nominal sales and marketing experience. Further, we have budgeted only minimal amounts toward sales and marketing efforts over the next 12 months, which by industry standards is a very limited amount of capital with which to launch our effort. Given the relatively small marketing budget and limited experience of our officers, there can be no assurance that such efforts will be successful. Further, if our initial efforts to create a market for our licensed products are not successful, there can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and retain qualified individuals with marketing and sales expertise to attract subscribers to our website. Our future success will depend, among other factors, upon whether our licensed products can be sold at a profitable price and the extent to which consumers acquire, adopt, and continue to use them. There can be no assurance that our licensed products will gain wide acceptance in its targeted markets or that we will be able to effectively market our licensed products.
We may not be able to execute our business plan or stay in business without additional funding.
Our ability to generate future operating revenues depends in part on whether we can obtain the financing necessary to implement our business plan. We will likely require additional financing through the issuance of debt and/or equity in order to establish profitable operations, and such financing may not be forthcoming. As widely reported, the global and domestic financial markets have been extremely volatile in recent months. If such conditions and constraints continue or if there is no investor appetite to finance our specific business, we may not be able to acquire additional financing through credit markets or equity markets. Even if additional financing is available, it may not be available on terms favorable to us. At this time, we have not identified or secured sources of additional financing. Our failure to secure additional financing when it becomes required will have an adverse effect on our ability to remain in business.
If our estimates related to future expenditures are erroneous or inaccurate, our business will fail, and you could lose your entire investment.
Our success is dependent in part upon the accuracy of our management’s estimates of our future cost expenditures for legal and accounting services (including those we expect to incur as a publicly reporting company), for.marketing and development expenses, and for administrative expenses. If such estimates are erroneous or inaccurate, or if we encounter unforeseen costs, we may not be able to carry out our business plan, which could result in the failure of our business and the loss of your entire investment.
Diamond prices can fluctuate significantly, and as a result, the Company’s results of operation may fluctuate significantly.
The market for rough diamonds is subject to strong influence from the world's largest diamond producing company, De Beers, of South Africa, and from The Diamond Trading Co., (formerly known as the Central Selling Organization), a marketing agency controlled by De Beers. The price of diamonds has historically fluctuated. Because of such fluctuations, the Company’s results of operation may fluctuate significantly.
The Company may incur significant costs to comply with Environmental and Government Regulation
The current and anticipated future operations of the Company, including development activities and commencement of production on its properties, require permits from various federal, territorial and local governmental authorities and such operations are and will be governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. Companies engaged in the development and operation of mines and related facilities generally experience increased costs, and delays in production and other schedules as a result of the need to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permits. The Company's exploration activities and its potential mining and processing operations are subject to various laws governing land use, the protection of the environment, prospecting, development, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, mine safety and other matters.
Such operations and exploration activities are also subject to substantial regulation under these laws by governmental agencies and may require that the Company obtain permits from various governmental agencies. The Company believes it is in substantial compliance with all material laws and regulations which currently apply to its activities. There can be no assurance, however, that all permits which the Company may require for construction of mining facilities and conduct of mining operations will be obtainable on reasonable terms or that such laws and regulations, or that new legislation or modifications to existing legislation, would not have an adverse effect on any exploration or mining project which the Company might undertake.
Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permit requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment or remedial actions. Parties engaged in mining operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violation of applicable laws or regulations. The amount of funds required to comply with all environmental regulations and to pay for compensation in the event of a breach of such laws may exceed the Company's ability to pay such amount.
Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of mining companies, or more stringent implementation of existing or new laws, could have a material adverse impact on the Company and cause increases in capital expenditures or production costs or reduction in levels of production at producing properties or require abandonment or delays in development of new mining properties.
We are a small company with limited resources relative to our competitors and we may not be able to compete effectively.
The product marketing services of our competitors have longer operational histories, greater resources and name recognition, and a larger base of customers than we have. As a result, these competitors will have greater credibility with our potential customers. They also may be able to adopt more aggressive pricing policies and devote greater resources to the development, promotion, and sale of their products than we may be able to devote to our products. Therefore, we may not be able to compete effectively, and our business may fail.
Our officers and directors have conflicts of interest in that they have other time commitments that will prevent them from devoting full-time to our operations, which may affect our operations.
Because our officers and directors, who are responsible for all our business activities, do not devote their full working time to operation and management of us, the implementation of our business plans may be impeded. Our officers and directors have other obligations and time commitments, which will slow our operations and may reduce our financial results and as a result, we may not be able to continue with our operations. Additionally, when they become unable to handle the daily operations on their own, we may not be able to hire additional qualified personnel to replace them in a timely manner. If this event should occur, we may not be able to reach profitability, which might result in the loss of some or all of your investment in our common stock.
Foreign Officers and Directors could result in difficulty enforcing rights.
The officers and directors of the Company are located outside of the US and as such investors may have difficulty in enforcing their legal rights under the United States securities laws.
We must comply with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
We are required to comply with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prohibits U.S. companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Foreign companies, including some of our competitors, are not subject to these prohibitions. Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft, and other fraudulent practices occur from time-to-time in the PRC. If our competitors engage in these practices, they may receive preferential treatment from personnel of some companies, giving those competitors an advantage in securing business or from government officials who might give them priority in obtaining new licenses, which would put us at a disadvantage. We could suffer severe penalties if our employees or other agents were determined to have engaged in such practices.
Fluctuation in the value of currency may have a material adverse effect on your investment.
The value of foreign current against the U.S. Dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economic conditions. Under the current global financial and economic conditions, it is impossible to predict with any certainty how foreign currency will move vis-à-vis the U.S. Dollar in the future.
Risks Relating to our Stock
The Offering price of $4.00 per Unit is arbitrary.
The Offering price of $4.00 per Unit has been arbitrarily determined by our management and does not bear any relationship to the assets, net worth or projected earnings of the Company, or any other generally accepted criteria of value.
We have no firm commitments to purchase any shares.
We have no firm commitment for the purchase of any shares, therefore there is no assurance that a trading market will develop or be sustained. The Company has not engaged a placement agent or broker for the sale of the shares. The Company may be unable to identify investors to purchase the shares and may have inadequate capital to support its ongoing business obligations.
All proceeds from the sale of shares offered by the company will be immediately available for use by the company.
There is no minimum offering amount and we have not established an escrow to hold any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares offered by the company. As a result, all proceeds from the sale of shares offered by the company will be available for immediate use by the company. The proceeds of the sale may not be sufficient to implement the company’s business strategy.
A low market price would severely limit the potential market for our common stock.
Our common stock may trade at a price below $5.00 per share, subjecting trading in the stock to certain SEC rules requiring additional disclosures by broker-dealers. These rules generally apply to any non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price share of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions (a “penny stock”). Such rules require the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith and impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and institutional or wealthy investors. For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to the broker-dealer, current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Such information must be provided to the customer orally or in writing before or with the written confirmation of trade sent to the customer. Monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements could discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock.
An investor’s ability to trade our common stock may be limited by trading volume.
A consistently active trading market for our common stock may not occur on the OTC our current market. A limited trading volume may prevent our shareholders from selling shares at such times or in such amounts as they may otherwise desire.
We have not voluntarily implemented various corporate governance measures, in the absence of which, shareholders may have more limited protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.
Recent federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has resulted in the adoption of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the integrity of the corporate management and the securities markets. Some of these measures have been adopted in response to legal requirements; others have been adopted by companies in response to the requirements of national securities exchanges, such as the NYSE or the NASDAQ Stock Market, on which their securities are listed. Among the corporate governance measures that are required under the rules of national securities exchanges and NASDAQ, are those that address the board of Directors independence, audit committee oversight, and the adoption of a code of ethics. We have not yet adopted any of these corporate governance measures, and since our securities are not listed on a national securities exchange or NASDAQ, we are not required to do so. It is possible that if we were to adopt some or all of these corporate governance measures, shareholders would benefit from somewhat greater assurances that internal corporate decisions were being made by disinterested directors and that policies had been implemented to define responsible conduct. For example, in the absence of audit, nominating and compensation committees comprised of at least a majority of independent directors, decisions concerning matters such as compensation packages to our senior officers and recommendations for director nominees, may be made by a majority of directors who have an interest in the outcome of the matters being decided. Prospective investors should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures in formulating their investment decisions.
Because we will not pay dividends in the foreseeable future, stockholders will only benefit from owning common stock if it appreciates.
We have never paid dividends on our common stock, and we do not intend to do so in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain any future earnings to finance our growth. Accordingly, any potential investor who anticipates the need for current dividends from his investment should not purchase our common stock.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends affecting the financial condition of our business. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including, among other things:

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND PROPERTY
Our Company
The Company was incorporated on December 21, 2001, and is currently active in the state of Nevada
On September 24, 2020, GESI merged (the “Reverse Merger”) with and into ZB. ZB was the surviving corporation
in the Reverse Merger and became the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary.
Business Strategy
General European Strategic Investments, Inc. possesses 2 large assets, with growth potential within the next 12-24 months. These
are referred to as the following:
a) | The Finland assets |
The Finland assets consists of The Laakso Project which is 100%-owned by GESI’s wholly owned Swiss subsidiary, ZB Capital AG. GESI is the largest reservation permit holder in Finland’s prolific Kuusamo Mining District holding approx. 1200 square Kilometers of reservation permits and reservation permit applications as well as exploration permits, and reservation permits for 11 diamondiferous kimberlite structures.
General European Strategic Investments Inc. (“GESI”) performs its activities in Finland through its wholly owned Finnish mining company Laakso Minerals Oy. Laakso Minerals Oy holds a large portfolio of mining properties in North-Central Finland, which include mining discoveries of Nickel Copper Platinum Group Elements (NiCuPGE) and diamondiferous kimberlites.
Figure 1 shows the location map of Laakso Minerals Oy’s concessions in Kuusamo Mining District of Finland.

Nickel Copper Platinum Group Elements properties
Laakso Minerals Oy is currently the largest landholder of mining rights for Nickel Copper Platinum Group Elements prospects in the Kuusamo Mining District. It possesses “reservation permit” landholdings on over 1200 square kilometers. Here is these list of “reservation” blocks:
Korpuajärvi VA2020:0034; 209,94 km2
Maunujärvi VA2020:0078; 58,89 km2
Korpivaara VA2021:0014; 204,702 km2
Mustavaara VA2021:0015; 740,828 km2
Geological background
The early Palaeoproterozoic (2500–2400 Ma) was a time of worldwide igneous activity, resulting in the formation of layered intrusions, mafic dyke swarms and volcanic formations on the cratonic areas of the Earth. The same igneous activity is also recorded in the Fennoscandian Shield, in the form of several layered intrusions, dykes and volcanic formations of different composition.
Landholdings of Laakso Minerals Oy cover a great part of the Koillismaa– Näränkävaara Intrusive Complex (Fig. 1), comprising the Koillismaa PGE-Ni-Cu, V metallogenic area, which is defined by the layered intrusions of the Koillismaa– Näränkävaara Complex and their immediate country rocks, in eastern Finland, about 150 km northeast of the city of Oulu (Fig. 1). The intrusive complex comprises the Koillismaa Intrusion, the Näränkävaara Intrusion, and a strong positive gravity anomaly (regarded as a major dyke at depth) that connects the western and eastern parts of the complex (Karinen 2012). The westernmost part of the complex (the Koillismaa Intrusion) consists of separate bodies that represent blocks of a single, sheet-like layered intrusion. These blocks straddle the boundary between the Archaean Eastern Finland complex and the Palaeoproterozoic Kuusamo schist belt, whilst the Näränkävaara Intrusion is surrounded by rocks of the Archaean basement complex. The layered intrusions of the Koillismaa–Näränkävaara Complex are mafic to ultramafic in composition and have an age of ca. 2.44 Ga (Alapieti 1982). The origin of the mineralization (Karinen, 2010) was triggered by emplacement of dykes of a new magma pulse into partially consolidated cumulates of the Koillismaa Intrusion. These dykes are presently represented by the non-cumulus textured gabbronorite bodies of the reef. The intruding magma was more primitive than that of the parental magma of the Koillismaa Intrusion and was saturated with ore-bearing fluid phase escaped from the magma upon emplacement in the form of late magmatic fluids, introducing PGE-Cu-Ni into host cumulates and recrystallizing them into mottled varieties. Sudden loss of volatiles from the intruding magma resulted in its supersaturation and related rapid crystallization to form the non-cumulus textured gabbronorite bodies.
Fig. 2. Generalized geological map of the northeastern part of the Fennoscandian Shield, showing the locations of early Palaeoproterozoic mafic-ultramafic intrusions (modified from Alapieti & Lahtinen 2002).
The Koillismaa-Näränkävaara Complex comprises the Näränkävaara Intrusion, the Koillismaa Intrusion and a strong positive gravity anomaly, which connects these distant eastern and western parts of the complex (Fig. 2). The strong positive gravity anomaly has been interpreted to reflect the location of a dyke or layered intrusion that acted as a feeder zone for the Koillismaa Intrusion magmas (Piirainen et al. 1978; Alapieti 1982).
Fig. 3. Geological map of the Koilismaa metallogenic area, the boundaries of which are marked here by a green line. The ”Gravity anomaly zone” (“Feeder Dyke”) is located inside the green boundary. The map is based on Karinen (2010).
Figure 4 shows the strong positive magnetic and gravity anomalies in connecting zone between the Koillismaa and Näränkävaara intrusions indicating the location of the “Feeder Dyke”, which is assumed to have been supplied the mafic-ultramafic magma with associated Ni-Cu-Co-PGE mineralization.
Fig. 4. Magnetic anomaly (a) and Bouguer gravity anomaly (b). Main roads are included on the map (red, yellow, and gray) and the acquired seismic profile is in purple. The maps are in KKJ3 coordinates.
Mineral systems
Just the strong positive gravity and magnetic anomaly, connecting the Koillismaa and Näränkävaara intrusions is expected to represent orthomagmatic Ni-Cu-Co-PGE as well as Cr-Ti-V-Fe mineral systems.
With regard to orthomagmatic sulphide ores the anomaly is considered as an “input channel”, referring to the “tube” carrying the mafic-ultramafic magma. It can be described by the term “conduit”, which refers precisely to tube-like geometry and to which several orthomagmatic sulphide mineralizations have been associated throughout the world. Figure 5 shows the models of the deep structure of the area of positive gravity and magnetic anomaly, connecting the Koillismaa and Näränkävaara intrusions, showing the expected locations of sulphide mineralization zones.
Fig. 5. Models of the deep structure of the gravity and magnetic anomaly. Magma flow channel formations are currently understood to be favorable sites for Ni-Cu-Co-PGE ore formation. In Figures a and b, the different formation models of the gravity anomaly are presented (figure formulated according to Barnes et al. 2016).
Korpuajärvi concession of Laakso Minerals Oy covers a great part of the discussed above anomaly, which is expected to host the high-grade massive sulphides with Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization. Figure 6 shows the magnetic anomalies map of the “Feeder Dyke” with indicated Korpuajärvi and other Laakso Minerals Oy’s concessions, boundaries of which are marked by the red line, and the marked by the yellow line adjacent concessions of the Canadian company Palladium One (PDM One), where it has tested the extensive occurrence of high-grade Ni-Cu-PGE ore.

3 km hole
The mysterious gravity anomaly between Näränkävaara and the Koillismaa Intrusive Complexes during decades caused the great interest of scientists all over the World and the expectations of huge, massive sulphides with high-grade Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization occurrence. Therefore the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) announced in September 2020 that they will be drilling a 3km deep hole in southern Kuusamo, Finland. The intention behind the ambitious exploit is to gain an understanding of the bedrock geology, and to facilitate deep-hole research for many disciplines such as survey technology, mineral systems, 3D modelling, geothermal energy, deep groundwater, and bedrock stability. The hole has been spud within the Korpuajärvi concession of Laakso Minerals Oy (Fig. 7).
Fig. 7. Bouguer anomaly map of the of Korpuajärvi concession of Laakso Minerals Oy with indicated location of the 3 km hole.
As it was earlier indicated by seismics (Fig. 8) the top of the ”Feeder Dyke” has been intersected by the borehole at depth of 1423m.
Fig. 8. Seismic profile showing the change of reflectivity at depth of around 1500 m. Borehole is shown by the red line.
At this depth the change of rocks from felsic to ultramafic took place, indicating the top of the ”Feeder Dyke” (Fig 9).
Fig. 9. Core from the top of the “anomaly zone”. Metamorphosed olivine-pyroxene-cumulate rock.
The bottom of the ”Feeder Dyke” is indicated by seismics at depth of about 3 km. Drilling of the borehole has been suspended for technical reasons on February 19, 2021, at depth of 1.7 km and drilling is expected to be resumed in the near future.
Palladium One activities in the Koillismaa Ni-Cu-PGE metallogenic area
Canadian company Palladium One (PDM One) is currently at the comprehensive stage of exploration of the Koillismaa Ni-Cu-PGE metallogenic area. It possesses two concessions adjacent to the Laakso Minerals Oy’s reservation permits (see Fig. 6). Their Läntinen Koillismaa (“LK”) concession borders the Maunujärvi concession of Laakso Minerals Oy from the west. Numerous exploration boreholes drilled by PDM One within this concession showed the disseminated intrusive marginal style mineralization with high-tenor, palladium dominated sulphide (3Pd:1Pt). At 100% sulphide the rocks contain ~84 g/t PGE (including ~58 g/t Pd), ~13% Cu and ~10% Ni. Preliminary metallurgical work indicates saleable concentrate by bulk floatation. Final concentrate is grading 11.4% Cu, 4.5% Ni, 36.3 g/t Pd, 4.6 g/t Au and 7.8 g/t Pt. The obtained final concentrate grades of 16-17% Cu+Ni. Unoptimized recoveries demonstrate scope for improvement. Rougher: 86% Pd, 72% Pt, 85% Au, 95% Cu and 56% Ni, cleaner: 73% Pd, 56% Pt, 78% Au 91% Cu and 48% Ni. MgO content is below 4%, which provides no smelter penalty. 1.6% final concentrate mass pull provides low shipping cost to smelter. PDM One extends its exploration drilling in the east direction towards the Maunujärvi concession of Laakso Minerals Oy. Each hole shows the extension of the high-grade ore occurrence eastwards thus confirming the prospects of the latter.
Other Laakso Minerals Oy’s reservation permits in the Kuusamo Mining District, Korpivaara and Mustavaara, whose area exceeds 940 km2, comprise numerous magnetic features similar to the one within the Läntinen Koillismaa concession of PDM One, where the extensive occurrence of high-tenor, palladium dominated sulphide occurrence has been confirmed (see Fig. 6), thus showing a high possibility of new discoveries of this type.
SEEMS DEEP Project
The unique possibility to investigate the mysterious “Feeder Dyke” in the Kuusamo Mining District of Finland, the international interest to whose geological structure and expected mineral systems with a tremendous mining potential has been enhanced by drilling by the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) of the 3 km hole targeting to penetrate the strong magnetic and gravity anomaly, has stimulated the leading scientific and industrial institutions to initiate an international research project to the ERA-MIN-3 Joint Call 2021 on comprehensive study of the Korpuajärvi concession of Laakso Minerals Oy using the innovative scientific-research methods, approaches and ideas.
ERA-MIN3 is a global innovative pan-European network of 24 European and non-European research funding organizations, aiming to continue strengthening the mineral raw materials community through the coordination of research and innovation programs on non-fuel raw materials (metallic, construction, and industrial minerals). Officially launched on the 15th of January 2021, counts with an indicative budget of €19.5 Million.
The suggested by the Consortium, Laakso Minerals Oy being one of its members, project SEEMS DEEP (Seismic and Electromagnetic Methods for Deep mineral exploration) within the ERA-MIN3 is addressing the challenge of high costs of mineral exploration as well as poor success rates in discovering new deep-seated ore deposits through development of a novel workflow integrating seismic and electromagnetic (EM) methods. The members of the Consortium BRGM, GTK, Uppsala University and companies GRM Services and IRIS will be testing new light weight low-cost EM sensors while Institute of Geophysics PAS, GTK and Geopartner Geofizyka Ltd will acquire seismic data in the exploration area reserved by Laakso Minerals Oy. The test area of SEEMS DEEP is the Koillismaa Layered Igneous Complex that has a high potential to host several minerals from the EU critical raw material list, including Nickel and Cobalt and Platinum Group Metals. The project will benefit from petrophysical measurements from the 3 km deep drill hole and other background data enabling the construction of an initial geomodel to be used for optimization of the exploration works. The SEEMS DEEP workflow aims to substantially improve geomodels that will enable better decisions in exploration drilling which in turn will lead to decreased cost and lower environmental impact. Its ambition is to produce high-confidence earth models that add more value to the exploration project than several drill holes that might miss the exploration target and provide only point-like data.
SEEMS DEEP will acquire seismic reflection profiles to achieve large scale information about the geological architecture of the study area, while 3D seismic and EM surveys provide more detailed information about the target. The Koillismaa deep drill hole provides unique geological and petrophysical data that will be used as boundary conditions for the EM and seismic modelling as well as empirical relations between resistivity and seismic velocity. Feedback from these surveys will help to define best practices to industry in terms of successful discovery of new and high-grade deposits of Nickel and Cobalt and Platinum Group Metals at greater depths within the reservation area of Laakso Minerals Oy.
SEEMS DEEP brings together industrial partners, research organizations and universities from four different countries, Finland, Sweden, France, and Poland. The Consortium coordinator, GTK, has resources of geological and geophysical data of essential importance for this project. Here is the list of the partners of the SEEMS DEEP consortium:
Canadian Company Mira Geoscience was invited to join the Consortium and to implement their software into the Project. Mira Geoscience has developed software which efficiently interprets a set of geophysical data into a model of the ore body with the recommended location and structure of the mine for the most efficient development of the field. For formal reasons Mira Geoscience cannot directly join the Consortium, but is ready for cooperation in the project by sharing their software, being interested in its implementation in such a unique case study, testing it using the new innovative deep exploration techniques and working jointly with the world-class, cutting-edge scientists.
Five work packages (WP) are currently almost fully developed to be to be submitted within the Final Proposal. WP1: Geomodelling, includes petrophysical studies and geological interpretation of existing data prior to WP2 & WP3, updating models during course of the project and construction of final geomodel. WP2: Survey and instrumentation design, includes modeling and simulation how to make efficient field work campaign and the forward modeling, takes decisions about right kind instrument and their layout. WP3: Field acquisition, includes implementing plans of WP2, simultaneous acquisition of both seismic and EM data, 2D seismic reflection profiles and a small 3D seismic cube as well as RMT, AMT, ERT/IP, CSEM, CDAMT measurements. WP4: Joint imaging, includes utilization of EM data in seismic processing and vice versa as well as integration of data for WP1.

It is within 48 out of 146 pre-proposals which have been selected for stage 2. The referees have given excellent reviews of the proposal: scientific excellence 15/15 points; impact 13/15 points; implementation 14/15 points.
Diamond properties
The Archaean Karelian Craton is prospective for diamondiferous kimberlites due to good conditions for diamond preservation: low geothermal gradient and thick lithosphere. The craton is considered under-explored for kimberlites and lamproites. 25 classical diamondiferous kimberlite occurrences discovered so far in the Kuopio and Kaavi clusters. They are similar to the kimberlites of South Africa. Intrusion styles range from dykes up to 700 m x 30 m in size to nearly circular diatremes up to 400 m2 . Age c. 600 Ma (O’Brien et al. 2005). The concessions of Laakso Minerals Oy, comprising the diamondiferous kimberlites, occur at a distance of about 200 km from the Lomonosov and Grib diamond fields of Russia, which belong to the World’s largest diamond occurrences.
Presently Laakso Minerals Oy has obtained two reservation permits with diamondiferous kimberlites occurrence: Kolkonjärvi VA2021:0010 206,65 km2 and Kylmälahti VA2021:0009 17,22 km2. The map of Kolkonjärvi reservation permit is shown at Fig. 10.
Fig. 10. The map of Kolkonjärvi reservation permit of Laakso Minerals Oy
It includes 4 diamondiferous kimberlites occurrences in a single permit (Fig. 11). The fifth one shown at the figure, Kattainsenvaara diamond occurrence, is not included, because it occurs within the protected hiking area.

Laakso Minerals Oy has submitted an application for the Käsmäjärvi exploration permit ML2021:0021; 0,9512 km2. The location map of this concession is shown at Fig. 13.
Fig. 13. The location map of Käsmäjärvi exploration permit
It is expected to be granted within the nearest months. Käsmäjärvi kimberlite occurrence was discovered in 2005. It comprises 3 diamondiferous kimberlite pipes. Detailed ground magnetic survey has been performed within this concession and 10 diamond drill holes (tot. 306 m) have been drilled, 6 of which intersected kimberlite. Fig. 14 shows 3 kimberlite pipes reflected as magnetic anomalies within the Käsmäjärvi concession.
Fig. 14. Ground magnetic anomalies showcasing kimberlite pipes 45 and 47 of the Käsmäjärvi area
A large portfolio of concessions possessed by Laakso Minerals Oy in Finland, their great mining potential and the extensive exploration work plans allow expecting successful exploration works with a consequent generation of significant profit for GESI.

b) Arbitration and Litigation Assets
The second Assets is referred to the Arbitration and Litigation Assets as it refers to assets that the company has acquired via its acquisition of a dormant company, the right to arbitration award rights in a potentially very large multi-billion-dollar arbitration proceeding. The proceedings have only been slowed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the award is being fought and the company expects to commence settlement discussions within this fiscal year.
Historical Background:
1) In summer 2020 General European Strategic Investments Inc. (“GESI“) amalgamated with Swiss based ZB Capital AG. One of the main assets of ZB Capital AG has been (and still is) a big portfolio of litigation assets against
a) The Slovak Republic – a full member of the European Union, and
b) A large multi-billion-dollar lawsuit against one of Europe´s largest construction material company conglomerate, BAUMIT and Schmid Industrieholding GmbH („SIH“) of Wopfing, Austria.
The litigation against the Slovak Republic is a large Arbitration case at the World Bank´s ICSID department, which arose from the Slovak Republic´s illegal expropriation of EuroGas-Rozmin‘s Gemerská Poloma talc license covering mining rights of the huge Gemerská Poloma ore body in the Slovak Republic, ranked as the 3rd largest talc orebody in the world.
Originally the license was owned by Rozmin s.r.o., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Salt Lake City - Utah, USA based EuroGas Group. After the Slovak Republic illegally and corruptively took the license away from Rozmin s.r.o. at the end of 2004, Rozmin successfully went to court in the Slovak Republic and sued the Slovak Republic in Slovak courts obtaining 3 final non-appealable judgements of the Supreme Court of the Slovak Republic, the Highest Slovakian Court in favor of Rozmin.
Despite these three non-appealable final judgements of the The Highest Slovakian Court in favor of EuroGas-Rozmin the corrupt Slovakian Supreme Mining Department HBU refused to reinstate Rozmin’s talc mining license.
In February 2008, May 2011 and March 2013 the Supreme Court of the Slovak Republic approved of Rozmin´s legal proceedings against the Slovak Republic in full. Despite this incredible success of EuroGas-Rozmin in Slovakian Courts, the corrupt Slovak Supreme mining office („HBÚ“) refused to return the talc mining license for one of the largest talc deposits in the world to its rightful owner Rozmin s.r.o. and transferred it illegally and – in the opinion of EuroGas-Rozmin - corruptively to the Austrian BAUMIT- Schmid Industrieholding GmbH („SIH“) Group without a tender, as required by Slovak and international law.
Rozmin and its US parent company EuroGas Inc. of Salt Lake City – Utah immediately started international Arbitration proceedings at the World bank´s ICSID department in Washington D.C. in June 2014 under the Arbitration File Nr. ICSID ARB:14/14.
In 2015 the Slovak Republic unsuccessfully commenced a separate lawsuit against EuroGas Inc. in the Utah Courts with the aim to gain control over EuroGas Inc. and Rozmin s.r.o.
This attempt ended in a disaster for the Slovak Republic, as the US courts turned down the Slovak Republic’s request in full and awarded EuroGas Inc. and Rozmin s.r.o. with a dramatic historical victory over the Slovak Republic, confirming amongst others, that the talc mining rights of the huge Slovakian Gemerska Poloma orebody belong to EuroGas and Rozmin „NUNC PRO TUNC“ ( Translation : „NOW AND ALWAYS BEFORE“) .
The Slovak Republic immediately filed an appeal with the US Appeal Court but lost out. After that the Slovak Republic filed another appeal in the Highest US Appeal Court of the 10th Circuit, however lost again, with final judgement of January 4, 2019, in favor of EuroGas-Rozmin. After this loss the Slovak Republik threw in the towel and didn’t proceed further to the US Supreme Court anymore and the Final Judgement in favor of EuroGas-Rozmin became legally binding.
The ICSID tribunal of EuroGas Inc.-Rozmin´s arbitration proceedings against the Slovak Republic unfortunately didn’t wait for the outcome of the US proceedings and decided 1 ½ years earlier, in August 2017, that due to a formality mistake that it has no jurisdiction over EuroGas – Rozmin and declared the arbitration proceedings of EuroGas vs. Slovak Republic a tie without a winner or a loser and both parties had to share their own court costs.
When the 10th Circuit Appeal Court of the United States of America decided against the Slovak Republic on January 4, 2019, EuroGas Inc. immediately notified and informed the President of the Slovak Republic, the Honorable Madam Zuzana Čaputová, that EuroGas and Rozmin will bring new international ICSID arbitration proceedings against the Slovak Republic.
Due to the start of the worldwide COVID 19 pandemic in February 2020 EuroGas Inc. could not commence new arbitration proceedings against the Slovak Republic for over 2 years. In addition to this EuroGas Inc. was not able to raise the necessary financial backing due to the year-long legal proceedings in order to commence new arbitration proceedings against the Slovak Republic.
2) In summer 2020 the management of GESI made an offer to EuroGas Inc. to take over EuroGas Inc´s wholly owned Swiss based subsidiary ZB Capital AG, which had earlier acquired 80% of EuroGas-Rozmin’s legal rights, including EuroGas-Rozmin’s legal rights in the pending Arbitration against the Slovak Republic and against Austria’s Schmid Industrieholding (SIH) as (illegal) successor of the Gemerska Poloma talc rights in the Slovak Republic.
GESI provided EuroGas and its wholly-owned Swiss subsidiary ZB Capital AG with a firm commitment to fully finance EuroGas Inc´s arbitration proceedings against the Slovak Republic and the lawsuits against Austrians BAUMIT- Schmid Industrieholding GmbH („SIH“), the illegal holder of EuroGas-Rozmin´s former talc mining license at Gemerská Poloma for receiving a total consideration of 80% net from the final judgements against the Slovak Republic and against Austria’s Schmid Industrieholding (SIH).
After having received the final commitment from GESI the EuroGas Group immediately mandated the US law firm Baker and McKenzie of Chicago Ill. as its main law firm to commence arbitration proceedings together with the EuroGas Group‘s Utah solicitors against the Slovak Republic and to file criminal charges against Austria´s BAUMIT-Schmid Industrieholding GmbH („SIH“), its owners and management.
GESI agreed to fund EuroGas Inc´s total arbitration proceedings against the Slovak Republic and all the lawsuits against BAUMIT- Schmid Industrieholding GmbH („SIH“) for consideration of receiving an 80% net interest from any future Arbitration award or Final Judgement from the criminal proceedings against Austria’s Schmid Industrieholdings (SIH).
3) Relaying upon the financial assurances and undertakings of GESI, EuroGas Inc. has actively commenced all preparations for the new ICSID arbitration proceedings against the Slovak Republic, as well as has taken legal steps against BAUMIT-Schmid Industrieholding GmbH („SIH“) in Austria and the Slovak Republic.
On or about June 9, 2022, the Slovak law firm for EuroGas - Rozmin s.r.o., Dr. Kvašnica and Partners, has delivered a large criminal complaint to the Attorney General‘s Office of the Slovak Republic and has asked the General Attorney of the Slovak Republic to investigate the alleged wrongdoings of SIH and eventually file criminal charges against the BAUMIT-Schmid Industrieholding (SIH) Group of Wopfing, Austria on behalf of Rozmin s.r.o., EuroGas‘ Slovak mining arm.
Simultaneously, Salt Lake City based EuroGas Group, through its Austrian subsidiary EuroGas GmbH, of Vienna Austria, has also filed also a separate massive criminal complaint against the BAUMIT-Schmid Industrieholding („SIH“) group with Austria’s Anti Corruption Attorney General’s Office „WKStA“ in Vienna Austria.
Based on the historical background of the legal background of both litigation cases GESI and EuroGas as well as its US based legal team consider the chances to win both Litigation Assets as excellent.
c) | Waste Management |
In addition, GESI owns a 49%-interest in ColdPro LTD. (ColdPro), a private UK company specializing in waste management in the UK. ColdPro is a licensed UK-based integrated waste management business, and one of only six regulated approved authorized treatment facilities in the UK.
Competition
The market for rough diamonds is subject to strong influence from the world's largest diamond producing company, De Beers, of South Africa, and from The Diamond Trading Co., (formerly known as the Central Selling Organization), a marketing agency controlled by De Beers.
In addition, there are a number of larger waste management companies in the UK including Biffa, Business Waste, CheaperWaste, FCC Environment, Ribbex, Suez, SWR, The Waste Company, Veolia and Viridor.
Regulation
The current and anticipated future operations of the Company, including development activities and commencement of production on its properties, require permits from various federal, territorial and local governmental authorities and such operations are and will be governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. Companies engaged in the development and operation of mines and related facilities generally experience increased costs, and delays in production and other schedules as a result of the need to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permits. The Company's exploration activities and its potential mining and processing operations are subject to various laws governing land use, the protection of the environment, prospecting, development, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, mine safety and other matters.
Such operations and exploration activities are also subject to substantial regulation under these laws by governmental agencies and may require that the Company obtain permits from various governmental agencies. The Company believes it is in substantial compliance with all material laws and regulations which currently apply to its activities. There can be no assurance, however, that all permits which the Company may require for construction of mining facilities and conduct of mining operations will be obtainable on reasonable terms or that such laws and regulations, or that new legislation or modifications to existing legislation, would not have an adverse effect on any exploration or mining project which the Company might undertake.
Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permit requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment or remedial actions. Parties engaged in mining operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violation of applicable laws or regulations. The amount of funds required to comply with all environmental regulations and to pay for compensation in the event of a breach of such laws may exceed the Company's ability to pay such amount.
Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of mining companies, or more stringent implementation of existing or new laws, could have a material adverse impact on the Company and cause increases in capital expenditures or production costs or reduction in levels of production at producing properties or require abandonment or delays in development of new mining properties.
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act
The Company shall continue to be deemed an emerging growth company until the earliest of--
‘(A) the last day of the fiscal year of the issuer during which it had total annual gross revenues of $1,000,000,000 (as such amount is indexed for inflation every 5 years by the Commission to reflect the change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, setting the threshold to the nearest 1,000,000) or more;
‘(B) the last day of the fiscal year of the issuer following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities of the issuer pursuant to an effective registration statement under this title;
‘(C) the date on which such issuer has, during the previous 3-year period, issued more than $1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt; or
‘(D) the date on which such issuer is deemed to be a ‘large-accelerated filer’, as defined in section 240.12b-2 of title 17, Code of Federal Regulations, or any successor thereto.’
As an emerging growth company the company is exempt from Section 404(b) of Sarbanes Oxley. Section 404(a) requires Issuers to publish information in their annual reports concerning the scope and adequacy of the internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting. This statement shall also assess the effectiveness of such internal controls and procedures.
Section 404(b) requires that the registered accounting firm shall, in the same report, attest to and report on the assessment on the effectiveness of the internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting.
As an emerging growth company the company is exempt from Section 14A and B of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which require the shareholder approval of executive compensation and golden parachutes.
The Company has irrevocably opted out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 107(b) of the Act.
Employees
As of October 1, 2022, we have no employees, but have five (5) officers and directors who are non-employee Directors. We have no agreements with any of our management/subcontractors for any services. We consider our relations with our subcontractors to be good.
Description of Property
We currently lease office space at 6605 Grand Montecito Parkway, Suite 100, Las Vegas, NV 89149 as our principal offices. We believe these facilities are in good condition, but that we may need to expand our leased space as our business efforts increase.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with (i) our audited financial statements as of December 31, 2021, that appear elsewhere in this registration statement. This registration statement contains certain forward-looking statements, and our future operating results could differ materially from those discussed herein. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. We disclaim any obligation to update any such factors or to announce publicly the results of any revisions of the forward -looking statements contained herein to reflect future events or developments. For information regarding risk factors that could have a material adverse effect on our business, refer to the Risk Factors section of this prospectus beginning on page 6.
Going Concern
The future of our company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations. Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of its common stock, if necessary. Our auditors have expressed a going concern opinion which raises substantial doubts about the Issuers ability to continue as a going concern.
Plan of Operation
General European Strategic Investments, Inc. possesses 2 large assets, with growth potential within the next 12-24 months. These are referred to as the following:
c. The Finland Exploration Assets
d. The Arbitration and Litigation Assets
The Finland assets consists of The Laakso Project which is 100%-owned by GESI’s wholly owned Swiss subsidiary, ZB Capital AG. GESI is the largest reservation permit holder in Finland’s prolific Kuusamo Mining District holding approx. 1200 square Kilometers of reservation permits and reservation permit applications as well as exploration permits, and reservation permits for 11 diamondiferous kimberlite structures.
The second Assets is referred to the Arbitration and Litigation Assets as it refers to assets that the company has acquired via its acquisition of a dormant company, the right to arbitration award rights in a potentially very large multi-billion-dollar arbitration proceeding. The proceedings have only been slowed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the award is being fought and the company expects to commence settlement discussions within this fiscal year.
In addition, GESI owns a 49%-interest in ColdPro LTD. (ColdPro), a private UK company specializing in waste management in the UK. ColdPro is a licensed UK-based integrated waste management business, and one of only six regulated approved authorized treatment facilities in the UK.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2022, we had current assets of $69,122, consisting of $38,898 in cash and $30,224 in prepaid expenses, receivables, and deposits. Current liabilities on June 30, 2022, totaled $409,613.
We anticipate that we will receive sufficient proceeds from investors through this offering, to continue operations for at least the next twelve months; however, there is no assurance that such proceeds will be received and there are no agreements or understandings currently in effect from any potential investors. It is anticipated that the Company will receive increasing revenues from operations in the coming year; however, since the Company has a short history of revenues, it is difficult to anticipate what those revenues might be, if any, and therefore, management has assumed for planning purposes only that it may need to sell common stock, take loans or advances from officers, directors or shareholders or enter into debt financing agreements in order to meet our cash needs over the coming twelve months. The Issuer has no agreements or understandings for any of the above-listed financing options.
The Use of Proceeds section includes a detailed description of the use of proceeds over the differing offering scenarios of 100%, 75%, 50% and 25%. As the Company’s expenses are relatively stable, unless additional licensed products are rolled out, the Company believes it can fund its present operations with projected revenues together with offering proceeds under any of the offering scenarios. The Company will consider raising additional funds during 2023 and 2024 through sales of equity, debt, and convertible securities, if it is deemed necessary.
GESI has no intention in investing in short-term or long-term discretionary financial programs of any kind.
Results of Operations
We generated no revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022. As a result, we have reported a net loss of $269,236 for the period ended June 30, 2022.
Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed a going concern opinion which raises substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. Due to the limited nature of the Company’s operations to date, the Company does not believe that past performance is any indication of future performance. The impact on the Company’s revenues of recognized trends and uncertainties in our market will not be recognized until such time as the Company has had sufficient operations to provide a baseline.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies
The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements, which we discuss under the heading "Results of Operations" following this section of our MD&A. Some of our accounting policies require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.
We set forth below those material accounting policies that we believe are the most critical to an investor’s understanding of our financial results and condition and that require complex management judgment.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission include, where applicable, disclosures of estimates, assumptions, uncertainties, and markets that could affect the financial statements and future operations of the Company.
Revenue Recognition
The company recognizes revenue under ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition.” Revenue is recognized when it is invoiced to the customer.

Limitations on Stockholder Actions
Title 7 of the Nevada Revised Statutes ("NRS") provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he is not liable or acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Title 7 of the Nevada Revised Statutes further provides that a corporation similarly may indemnify any such person serving in any such capacity who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he is not liable pursuant to Title 7 of the Nevada Revised Statutes or acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court or other court of competent jurisdiction in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court or other court of competent jurisdiction shall deem proper.
Our bylaws provide that it may indemnify its officers, directors, agents, and any other persons to the fullest extent permitted by the NRS.

In computing the percentage of shares beneficially owned by a selling stockholder, shares of common stock subject to options or warrants, or debt convertible into common stock held by that selling stockholder that was exercisable on or within 60 days after May 1, 2017, were deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that selling stockholder. The ownership percentages are calculated based on the 2,941,658 shares of common stock were outstanding on May 1, 2017.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
By Selling Stockholders
The selling stockholders and any of its pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees, and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of its shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market, or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
· ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits investors;
· | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
· purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
· an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
· privately negotiated transactions;
· to cover short sales made after the date that this Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission;
· broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
· a combination of any such methods of sale; and
· any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The selling stockholder may also sell shares under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, or another exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
The issuer and the selling shareholders will sell the common stock being registered in this offering at a fixed price of $0.25 per share. The company’s shares may never be quoted on the OTC Markets or listed on an exchange.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated.
The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Shares owned by it and, if it defaults in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.
Upon the company being notified in writing by a selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of common stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such selling stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such the shares of common stock were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker -dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. In addition, upon the company being notified in writing by a selling stockholder that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares of common stock, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed if then required in accordance with applicable securities law.
The selling stockholder also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares are “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Because the selling stockholders are an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions, and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of Securities will be paid by the selling stockholder and/or the purchasers. The selling stockholder has represented and warranted to the company that it acquired the securities subject to this registration statement in the ordinary course of the selling stockholder’s business and, at the time of its purchase of such securities the selling stockholder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute any such securities.
The company has advised the selling stockholders that it may not use shares registered on this Registration Statement to cover short sales of common stock made prior to the date on which this Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the Commission. If the selling stockholder uses this prospectus for any sale of the common stock, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholder will be responsible to comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder promulgated, including, without limitation, Regulation M, as applicable to such selling stockholder in connection with re-sales of their respective shares under this Registration Statement.
The company is required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares, but the company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock by selling stockholders. The company has agreed to indemnify the selling stockholder against certain losses, claims, damages, and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
By Our Company
We may sell the Units subject to this prospectus from time to time in any manner permitted by the Securities Act, including any one or more of the following ways:
directly to investors;
to investors through agents;
to dealers; and/or
through one or more underwriters.
Any underwritten offering may be on a best efforts or a firm commitment basis. We may also make direct sales through subscription rights distributed to our stockholders on a pro rata basis, which may or may not be transferable. In any distribution of subscription rights to stockholders, if all of the underlying securities are not subscribed for, we may then sell the unsubscribed securities directly to third parties or may engage the services of one or more underwriters, dealers, or agents, including standby underwriters, to sell the unsubscribed securities to third parties. Under agreements into which we may enter, underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be entitled to indemnification by us against some liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribution from us to payments which the underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make. Underwriters, dealers, and agents may engage in transactions with us or perform services for us from time to time in the ordinary course of business.
The distribution of the Units may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions:
at a fixed price or prices.
Shares sold pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus are currently listed on the OTC Market. The Company may not achieve its goal of trading on NASDAQ. In the sale of the shares, underwriters or agents may receive compensation from us or from purchasers of the shares, for whom they may act as agents, in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions. Underwriters may sell the shares to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions, or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents. Underwriters, dealers, and agents that participate in the distribution of the securities will be underwriters under the Securities Act of 1933, and any discounts or commissions they receive from us and any profit on the resale of securities they realize may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
Each time we sell Units, we will describe the method of distribution of the Units in the prospectus supplement relating to such transaction. The applicable prospectus supplement will, where applicable:
identify any such underwriter or agent;
| describe any compensation in the form of discounts, concessions, commissions or otherwise received from us by each such underwriter or agent and in the aggregate to all underwriters and agents; |
identify the amounts underwritten; and
identify the nature of the underwriter’s obligation to take the shares.
If underwriters are utilized in the sale of the securities, the Units may be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at fixed public offering prices or at varying prices determined by the underwriters at the time of the sale. We may offer the shares to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or directly by the managing underwriters. If any underwriters are utilized in the sale of the securities, unless otherwise stated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the underwriting agreement will provide that the obligations of the underwriters are subject to specified conditions precedent and that the underwriters with respect to a sale of the shares will be obligated to purchase all of the shares offered if any are purchased.
Until the distribution of the securities is completed, rules of the SEC may limit the ability of any underwriters and selling group members to bid for and purchase the securities. As an exception to these rules, underwriters are permitted to engage in some transactions that stabilize the price of the securities, such as over allotment, stabilizing transactions, short covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Over allotment involves sales in excess of the offering size which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing, or maintaining the price of the securities. Short covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid, under which selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or other broker-dealers for securities sold in the offering for their account may be reclaimed by the syndicate if the securities are repurchased by the syndicate in stabilizing or covering transactions. In general, purchases of a security for the purpose of stabilization or to reduce a short position could cause the price of the security to be higher than it might be in the absence of such purchases. The imposition of a penalty bid might also have an effect on the price of a security to the extent that it were to discourage re-sales of the security before the distribution is completed.
We do not make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above might have on the price of the securities. In addition, we do not make any representation that underwriters will engage in such transactions or that such transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.
Underwriters, dealers, and agents may engage in transactions with us or perform services for us in the ordinary course of business.
If indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will authorize underwriters or other persons acting as our agents to solicit offers by particular institutions to purchase shares from us at the public offering price set forth in such prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on the date or dates stated in such prospectus supplement. Each delayed delivery contract will be for an amount no less than, and the aggregate principal amounts of securities sold under delayed delivery contracts shall be not less nor more than, the respective amounts stated in the applicable prospectus supplement. Institutions with which such contracts, when authorized, may include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions, and others, but will in all cases be subject to our approval. The obligations of any purchaser under any such contract will be subject to the conditions that (a) the purchase of the shares shall not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of any jurisdiction in the United States to which the purchaser is subject, and (b) if the shares are being sold to underwriters, we shall have sold to the underwriters the total principal amount of the shares less the principal amount thereof covered by the contracts. The underwriters and such other agents will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of such contracts.
To comply with applicable state securities laws, the shares offered by this prospectus will be sold, if necessary, in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, shares may not be sold in some states unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
How to Invest:
Subscriptions for purchase of shares offered by this prospectus can be made by completing, signing, and delivering to us, the following:
1) an executed copy of the Subscription Agreement, available from the company; and
2) a check payable to the order of General European Strategic Investments, Inc. in the amount of $4.00 for each share you want to purchase.
OTC Markets Considerations
The Company currently trades on the OTCMarkets. There is no guarantee that the Company will achieve its goal of becoming listed on the NASDAQ. The OTCMarkets is separate and distinct from the NASDAQ stock market and other stock exchanges. NASDAQ has no business relationship with issuers of securities quoted on the OTC Markets. The SEC’s order handling rules, which apply to NASDAQ-listed securities, do not apply to securities quoted on the OTC Markets.
Because OTC Markets board stocks are usually not followed by analysts, there may be lower trading volume than for NASDAQ-listed securities.
DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Title 7 of the NRS provides that directors and officers of Nevada corporations may, under certain circumstances, be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys‘ fees) and other liabilities actually and reasonably incurred by them as a result of any suit brought against them in their capacity as a director or officer, if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. NRS also provides that directors and officers may also be indemnified against expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred by them in connection with a derivative suit if they acted in good faith and in a manner, they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be made without court approval if such person was adjudged liable to the corporation.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to the directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a directors, officers or controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the shareholders and the board of General European Strategic Investment, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of General European Strategic Investment, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2021, and 2020 and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows, for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, and the related notes collectively referred to as the "financial statements”.
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021, and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the company will continue as a going concern as disclosed in Note 4 to the financial statement, the Company has continuously incurred a net loss of $(4,272,276) for the year ended December 31, 2021, and an accumulated deficit of $(155,980,085), and a working capital deficit of $(7,227,431) as at December 31, 2021. The continuation of the Company as a going concern through December 31, 2021, is dependent upon improving the profitability and the continuing financial support from its stockholders. Management believes the existing shareholders or external financing will provide the additional cash to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the company ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion

On September 24, 2020, GESI merged (the “Reverse Merger”) with and into ZB. ZB was the surviving corporation in the Reverse Merger and became the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary.
The Merger is being accounted for as a reverse-merger and recapitalization with ZB as the acquirer for financial reporting purposes and GESI as the acquired company. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the operations that are reflected in the historical financial statements prior to the Merger are those of ZB and are recorded at the historical cost basis of ZB and the consolidated financial statements after completion of the Merger include the assets and liabilities of ZB and GESI and the historical operations of GESI and ZB from the closing date of the Merger. The stockholders’ equity section has been retroactively restated for all periods presented to reflect the accounting effect of the reverse merger transaction on the basis of the 1:1 exchange ratio on the Merger date.
As a result of the Reverse Merger, GESI discontinued its pre-Reverse Merger business and acquired the business of ZB and will continue the existing business operations of ZB as a publicly traded company.
Uncertainties and Economic Development
In March 2020, the World Health Organization designated the new coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a global pandemic. Federal, state, and local governments have mandated orders to slow the transmission of the virus, including but not limited to shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, restrictions on travel, and work restrictions that prohibit many employees from going to work. Uncertainty with respect to the economic effects of the pandemic has resulted in significant volatility in the financial markets.
The restrictions put in place by local governments could delay our exploratory programs on our mineral properties. Furthermore, the impact of the pandemic on the global economy could also negatively impact the availability and cost of future borrowings should the need arise.
These financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern basis of presentation assumes the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Although the Company believes it will be successful, there is no guarantee the Company will attain its goal of a developing successful trading platforms. As a result, material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in generating sufficient revenue or that the Company will be able to obtain financing or that such financing will be on favorable terms. Any such financing would be dilutive to our shareholders. Failure to generate sufficient revenue or the inability to obtain financing will result in an inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GESI., its wholly owned subsidiary, ZB Capital AG, and its wholly owned subsidiaries Valmatos GMBH Austria and Laakso Minerals OY Finland.
Name |
Place of incorporation and kind of legal entity |
Principal activities and place of operation |
ZB Capital AG | Switzerland | Investment holding |
Valmatos GMBH | Austria | Investment holding |
Laakso Minerals OY | Finland | Investment holding |
Basis of Presentation
Our financial records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits at commercial banks.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services.
Mineral Property Costs
We have been in the exploration stage since inception and have not yet realized any revenues from our planned operations. All exploration expenditures are expensed as incurred. Costs of acquisition and option costs of mineral rights are capitalized upon acquisition. Mine development costs incurred to develop new ore deposits, to expand the capacity of mines, or to develop mine areas substantially in advance of current production are also capitalized once proven and probable reserves exist and the property is a commercially mineable property. Costs incurred to maintain current production or to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged to operations.
If we do not continue with exploration after the completion of the feasibility study, the associated capitalized costs will be expensed at that time. Costs of abandoned projects are charged to mining costs including related property and equipment costs.
To determine if the capitalized mineral property costs are in excess of their recoverable amount, we conduct periodic evaluation of the carrying value of capitalized costs and any related property and equipment costs based upon expected future cash flows and/or estimated salvage value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 360- 10-35-15, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
Fair Value Measurements
We account for assets and liabilities measured at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy). The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
· Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.
· Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
· Level 3: Inputs that are generally unobservable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.
Our financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and notes payable. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying financial statements approximate their fair values due to their relatively short-term nature or the underlying terms are consistent with market terms. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method, in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
The Company computes basic and diluted income (loss) per share amounts pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities.
Property & Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected as gain or loss in the period of disposal. All ordinary repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets:
Estimated Useful Life | |
Equipment | 20 years |
Costs incurred in constructing new facilities, including progress payments and other costs related to construction, are capitalized, and transferred to property, plant, and equipment on completion, at which time depreciation commences.
The diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for the dilutive effect of potential future issuances of common stock related to outstanding options and warrants.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. The Company believes that such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future either will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows when implemented.
NOTE 3 – BUSINESS COMBINATION
The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization under U.S. GAAP because the primary assets of GESI were nominal at the close of the Merger. ZB was determined to be the accounting acquirer based upon the terms of the Merger and other factors, including: (i) ZB stockholders and other persons holding securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable directly or indirectly for ZB common stock owned the majority of the Company immediately following the effective time of the Merger, (ii) ZB holds the majority of board seats of the combined company, and (iii) ZB’s management holds all key positions in the management of the combined company.
ZB acquired no tangible assets and assumed no employees or operations from GESI.
NOTE 4 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the company will continue as a going concern as disclosed in Note 4 to the financial statement, the Company has continuously incurred a net loss of $(4,272,276) for the year ended December 31, 2021, and an accumulated deficit of $(155,980,085), and a working capital deficit of
$(7,227,431) as at December 31, 2021. The continuation of the Company as a going concern through December 31, 2021, is dependent upon improving the profitability and the continuing financial support from its stockholders. Management believes the existing shareholders or external financing will provide the additional cash to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due.
If the Company is unable to successfully commence its business operations in a short period of time, or unable to raise additional capital or secure additional lending, the Company may need to curtail or cease its operations. The Company believes that these matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management plans to obtain such resources for the Company include obtaining capital from the sale of its equity, and short-term and long-term borrowings from banks, stockholders, or other related party(ies). However, management cannot provide any assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
NOTE 5 – MINING LICENSES
Laakso Project
On November 18, 2020, ZB issued 125,000,000 of its own stock at value of CHF25,000,000 to acquire the Laakso Project in Finland. This issuance resulted in a non-controlling interest of ZB of approximately 15%. The non- controlling interest is in process of being acquired by GESI.
The Laakso Project, a Nickel-Copper Project, is located in central Finland and is 100% owned. GESI, through ZB’s wholly owned Finnish subsidiary Laakso Minerals, is the largest reservation holder in Finland’s prolific Kuusamo Mining District.

GENERAL EUROPEAN STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2022
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization and Business Description
References in these notes to the consolidated financial statements to “GESI” “we,” “us,” “our Company” refer to General European Strategic Investments Inc. and its consolidated subsidiary ZB Capital AG (“ZB”) and ZB’s subsidiaries Valmatos GMBH, Laakso Minerals Oy, and EuroGas Minerals LLC. GESI was incorporated in Nevada in August 2011.
On September 24, 2020, GESI merged (the “Reverse Merger”) with and into ZB. ZB was the surviving corporation in the
Reverse Merger and became the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary.
The Merger is being accounted for as a reverse-merger and recapitalization with ZB as the acquirer for financial reporting purposes and GESI as the acquired company. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the operations that are reflected in the historical financial statements prior to the Merger are those of ZB and are recorded at the historical cost basis of ZB and the consolidated financial statements after completion of the Merger include the assets and liabilities of ZB and GESI and the historical operations of GESI and ZB from the closing date of the Merger. The stockholders’ equity section has been retroactively restated for all periods presented to reflect the accounting effect of the reverse merger transaction on the basis of the 1:1 exchange ratio on the Merger date.
As a result of the Reverse Merger, GESI discontinued its pre-Reverse Merger business and acquired the business of ZB and will continue the existing business operations of ZB as a publicly traded company.
Uncertainties and Economic Development
In March 2020, the World Health Organization designated the new coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a global pandemic. Federal, state, and local governments have mandated orders to slow the transmission of the virus, including but not limited to shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, restrictions on travel, and work restrictions that prohibit many employees from going to work. Uncertainty with respect to the economic effects of the pandemic has resulted in significant volatility in the financial markets.
The restrictions put in place by local governments could delay our exploratory programs on our mineral properties. Furthermore, the impact of the pandemic on the global economy could also negatively impact the availability and cost of future borrowings should the need arise.
These financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern basis of presentation assumes the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Although the Company believes it will be successful, there is no guarantee the Company will attain its goal of a developing successful trading platforms. As a result, material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in generating sufficient revenue or that the Company will be able to obtain financing or that such financing will be on favorable terms. Any such financing would be dilutive to our shareholders. Failure to generate sufficient revenue or the inability to obtain financing will result in an inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GESI., its wholly owned subsidiary, ZB Capital AG, and its wholly owned subsidiaries Valmatos GMBH Austria, Laakso Minerals OY Finland, and Eurogas Minerals.
Basis of Presentation
Our financial records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits at commercial banks.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services.
Mineral Property Costs
We have been in the exploration stage since inception and have not yet realized any revenues from our planned operations. All exploration expenditures are expensed as incurred. Costs of acquisition and option costs of mineral rights are capitalized upon acquisition. Mine development costs incurred to develop new ore deposits, to expand the capacity of mines, or to develop mine areas substantially in advance of current production are also capitalized once proven and probable reserves exist and the property is a commercially mineable property. Costs incurred to maintain current production or to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged to operations. If we do not continue with exploration after the completion of the feasibility study, the associated capitalized costs will be expensed at that time. Costs of abandoned projects are charged to mining costs including related property and equipment costs.
To determine if the capitalized mineral property costs are in excess of their recoverable amount, we conduct periodic evaluation of the carrying value of capitalized costs and any related property and equipment costs based upon expected future cash flows and/or estimated salvage value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 360-10-35-15, Impairment or Disposal of Long- Lived Assets.
Fair Value Measurements
We account for assets and liabilities measured at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As
a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Inputs that are generally unobservable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.
Our financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and notes payable. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying financial statements approximate their fair values due to their relatively short-term nature or the underlying terms are consistent with market terms. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method, in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
The Company computes basic and diluted income (loss) per share amounts pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock during the period. The diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for the dilutive effect of potential future issuances of common stock related to outstanding options and warrants.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. The Company believes that such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future either will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows when implemented.
NOTE 3 – BUSINESS COMBINATION
The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization under U.S. GAAP because the primary assets of GESI were nominal at the close of the Merger. ZB was determined to be the accounting acquirer based upon the terms of the Merger and other factors, including: (i) ZB stockholders and other persons holding securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable directly or indirectly for ZB common stock owned the majority of the Company immediately following the effective time of the Merger, (ii) ZB holds the majority of board seats of the combined company, and (iii) ZB’s management holds all key positions in the management of the combined company.
47
ZB acquired no tangible assets and assumed no employees or operations from GESI.
NOTE 4 – LICENSES
Laakso Project
On November 18, 2020, ZB issued 125,000,000 of its own stock at value of CHF25,000,000 to acquire the Laakso Project in Finland. This issuance resulted in a non-controlling interest of ZB of approximately 15%. The non-controlling interest is in process of being acquired by GESI.
The Laakso Project, a Nickel-Copper Project, is located in central Finland and is 100% owned. GESI, through ZB’s wholly owned Finnish subsidiary Laakso Minerals, is the largest reservation holder in Finland’s prolific Kuusamo Mining District.
ColdPro Project
On March 14, 2022, the Company announced a binding commitment to acquire a 49%-interest in ColdPro Ltd. (ColdPro), a private UK company specializing in waste management in the UK for total consideration of £5 million.
ColdPro is a licensed UK-based integrated waste management business, and one of only six regulated approved authorized treatment facilities in the UK.
The 49%-interest is being acquired from United General LTD, which will retain a 51%-interest in ColdPro.
The consideration will be comprised of a US$500,000 payable in cash with the balance satisfied through the issuance of 7,500,000 restricted common shares of GESI or through cash, at GESI's election. The initial cash payment is due within six-months of the signing of this agreement.
NOTE 5 – LOANS PAYABLE - CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES
Included in the open balance are two historical convertible notes payable remaining from the original merger.
A $60,000 convertible note payable represents the total of 6 separate equal amount monthly notes issued as payment under the terms of a merger and acquisition advisory consulting agreement entered into between Green Energy Solutions and Nikolas Perrault in December 2019. Each note contains roll back protection provisions and is convertible at $0.001 and does not allow the holder to covert additional notes if such conversion would result in beneficial ownership of more than 9.9% of the outstanding shares of the company's common stock. This note had $20,000 converted into two 5,000,000 share conversions on February 17, 2022, and March 24, 2022. As of June 30, 2022, there is a balance of $40,000.00 due under this agreement.
A $10,000 convertible note payable represents a single payment under the terms of a general service management consulting agreement entered into between Green Energy Solutions and Christopher Lotito (former Green Energy CEO) in November 2019. The note contains roll back protection provisions and is convertible at $0.001 and does not allow the holder to covert additional notes if such conversion would result in beneficial ownership of more than 9.9% of the
outstanding shares of the company's common stock. This note was converted into 5,000,000 shares on January 14, 2022.
NOTE 6 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Common Stock

Item 13. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution
The following table sets forth the expenses expected to be incurred in connection with the issuance and distribution of the securities being registered (also included in the Use of Proceeds table).
SEC Registration | $ | $ 25,126 |
Legal Fees and Expenses | 5,000 | |
Accounting Fees* | 30,000 | |
Miscellaneous* | 200 | |
Total | $ | 60,326 |
* Estimated
The Issuer will pay all fees and expenses associated with this offering with the Selling Shareholders paying none of the expenses.
Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our bylaws contain provisions which require that the company indemnify its officers, directors, employees, and agents, in substantially the same language as Title 7 of the NRS. Article 12 of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation provides for the Company’s ability to indemnify its officers, directors, employees, and agents, subject to the limitations provided in NRS, for expenses actually and reasonably incurred. No indemnification shall be made if the proposed party has been adjudged to be liable to the company or where the matter was settled without court approval. Indemnification must be made upon a determination by a majority of the uninterested Board, and if not available, by the shareholders or by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
Between October 1, 2020, and October 1, 2022, we sold a total of 340,321,666 common shares to fourteen investors. The issuances of the shares to the investors were exempt from registration under Sections 4(2) and 4(6) of the Securities Act and Regulation D. The shares bear a restrictive transfer legend. This transaction (a) involved no general solicitation, (b) involved less than thirty-five non-accredited purchasers, and (c) relied on a detailed disclosure document to communicate to the investors all material facts about the issuer including an audited balance sheet and reviewed statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows. Each purchaser was given the opportunity to ask questions of us. Thus, we believe that the offering was exempt from registration under Regulation D, Rule 505 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

(ii) | reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 (b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and |
(iii) | include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution. |
(2) that for determining liability under the Securities Act, to treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.
(3) to file a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the
end of the offering.
(4) that for determining liability of the undersigned small business issuer under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned small business issuer undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned small business issuer will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned small business issuer relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
(ii) | Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer or used or referred to by the undersigned small business issuer; |
(iii) | The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned small business issuer or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer; and |
(iv) | Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned small business issuer to the purchaser |
(5) Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to the directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a directors, officers or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

If an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification by the Corporation for some or a portion of Expenses, liabilities, or losses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in an investigation, defense, appeal or settlement but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses, liabilities or losses to which Indemnitee is entitled.
11.5 Procedure for Seeking Indemnification and/or Advancement of Expenses. The following procedures shall apply in the absence of (or at the option of the Indemnitee, in lieu thereof), specific procedures otherwise applicable to an Indemnitee pursuant to a contract, trust agreement, or general or specific action of the Board of Directors:
11.5.1 Notification and Defense of Claim. Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Corporation in writing of any proceeding for which indemnification could be sought under this Article. In addition, Indemnitee shall give the Corporation such information and cooperation as it may reasonably require and as shall be within Indemnitee's power.
With respect to any such proceeding as to which Indemnitee has notified the Corporation:
(a) The Corporation will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense; and
(b) Except as otherwise provided below, to the extent that it may wish, the Corporation, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to Indemnitee. Indemnitee's consent to such counsel may not be unreasonably withheld.
After notice from the Corporation to Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense, the Corporation will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Article for any legal or other Expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such defense. However, Indemnitee shall continue to have the right to employ its counsel in such proceeding, at Indemnitee's expense; and if:
(i) The employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been authorized by the Corporation;
(ii) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Corporation and Indemnitee in the conduct of such defense; or
(iii) The Corporation shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such proceeding, the fees and Expenses of Indemnitee's counsel shall be at the expense of the Corporation.
The Corporation shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Corporation or as to which Indemnitee shall reasonably have made the conclusion that a conflict of interest may exist between the Corporation and the Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense.
11.5.2 Information to be Submitted and Method of Determination and Authorization of Indemnification. For the purpose of pursuing rights to indemnification under this Article, the
Indemnitee shall submit to the Board a sworn statement requesting indemnification and reasonable evidence of all amounts for which such indemnification is requested (together, the sworn statement and the evidence constitute an "Indemnification Statement").
Submission of an Indemnification Statement to the Board shall create a presumption that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder, and the Corporation shall, within sixty (60) calendar days thereafter, make the payments requested in the Indemnification Statement to or for the benefit of the Indemnitee, unless: (1) within such sixty {60) calendar day period it shall be determined by the Corporation that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Article; {2) such determination shall be based upon clear and convincing evidence (sufficient to rebut the foregoing presumption); and (3) the Indemnitee shall receive notice in writing of such determination, which notice shall disclose with particularity the evidence upon which the determination is based.
The foregoing determination may be made: (1) by the Board of Directors by majority vote of a quorum of Directors who are not at the time parties to the proceedings; (2) if a quorum cannot be obtained, by majority vote of a committee duly designated by the Board of Directors (in which designation Directors who are parties may participate) consisting solely of two (2) or more Directors not at the time parties to the proceeding; (3) by special legal counsel; or (4) by the shareholders as provided by the NRS.
Any determination that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, and any failure to make the payments requested in the Indemnification Statement, shall be subject to judicial review by any court of competent jurisdiction.
11.5.3 Special Procedure Regarding Advance for Expenses. An Indemnitee seeking payment of Expenses in advance of a final disposition of the proceeding must furnish the Corporation, as part of the Indemnification Statement:
(a) A written affirmation of the Indemnitee's good faith belief that the Indemnitee has met the standard of conduct required to be eligible for indemnification; and
(b} A written undertaking, constituting an unlimited general obligation of the Indemnitee, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnitee did not meet the required standard of conduct.
Upon satisfaction of the foregoing the Indemnitee shall have a contractual right to the payment of such Expenses.
11.5.4 Settlement. The Corporation is not liable to indemnify Indemnitee for any amounts paid in settlement of any proceeding without the Corporation 's written consent. The Corporation shall not settle any proceeding in any manner which would impose any penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee's written consent. Neither the Corporation nor Indemnitee may unreasonably withhold its consent to a proposed settlement.
11.6. Contract and related rights.
11.6.1 Contract Rights. The right of an Indemnitee to indemnification and advancement of Expenses is a contract right upon which the Indemnitee shall be presumed to have relied in
determining to serve or to continue to serve in his or her capacity with the Corporation. Such right shall continue as long as the Indemnitee shall be subject to any possible proceeding. Any amendment to or repeal of this Article shall not adversely affect any right or protection of an Indemnitee with respect to any acts or omissions of such Indemnitee occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.
11.6.2 Optional Insurance, Contracts, and Funding. The Corporation may:
{a) Maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any Indemnitee against any liability, whether or not the Corporation would have power to indemnify the individual against the same liability under NRS;
(b) Enter into contracts with any Indemnitee in furtherance of this Article and consistent with the NRS; and
(c) Create a trust fund, grant a security interest, or use other means (including without limitation a letter of credit) to ensure the payment of such amounts as may be necessary to effect indemnification as provided in this Article.
11.6.3 Severability. If any provision or application of this Article shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Article and its remaining applications shall not be affected thereby, and shall continue in full force and effect.
11.6.4 Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. If (1) a claim under this Article for indemnification is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation; or (2) a claim under this Article for advancement of Expenses is not paid in full by the Corporation within twenty (20) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, then the Indemnitee may, but need not, at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. To the extent successful in whole or in part, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to also be paid the expense (to be proportionately prorated if the Indemnitee is only partially successful) of prosecuting such claim. Neither (1) the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, its shareholders, or independent legal counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such proceeding that indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of Expenses to the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances; nor (2) an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, its shareholders, or independent legal counsel that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or to the reimbursement or advancement of Expenses, shall be a defense to the proceeding or create a presumption that the Indemnitee is not so entitled.
11.6. Nonexclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the payment of Expenses incurred in defending a Proceeding in advance of its final disposition granted in this Article shall not be exclusive of any other right which any Indemnitee may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of this Article or the Bylaws, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The Corporation shall have the express right to grant additional indemnity without seeking further approval or satisfaction by the shareholders. All applicable indemnity provisions and any applicable law shall be interpreted and applied so as to provide an Indemnitee with the broadest but nonduplicative indemnity to which he or she is entitled.
11.7 Contribution. If the indemnification provided in Section 11.2 of this Article is not available to be paid to Indemnitee for any reason other than those set forth in subparagraphs 11.2(a), 11.2(b), and 11.2(c) of Section 11.2 of this Article (for example, because indemnification is held to be against public policy even though otherwise permitted under Section 1.2) then in respect of any proceeding in which the Corporation is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such proceeding), the Corporation shall contribute to the amount of loss paid or payable by Indemnitee in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect:
The relative benefits received by the Corporation on the one hand and the Indemnitee on the other hand from the transaction from which such proceeding arose, and the relative fault of the Corporation on the one hand and the Indemnitee on the other hand in connection with the events which resulted in such loss, as well as any other relevant equitable consideration.
The relative benefits received by and fault of the Corporation on the one hand and the Indemnitee on the other shall be determined by a court of appropriate jurisdiction (which may be the same court in which the proceeding took place) with reference to, among other things, the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in such loss. The Corporation agrees that it would not be just and equitable if a contribution pursuant to this Article was determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the foregoing equitable considerations.
11.8 Exceptions. Any other provision herein to the contra ry notwithstanding, the Corporation shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of these Articles to indemnify or advance Expenses to Indemnitee with respect to any proceeding.
11.8.1 Claims Initiated by Indemnitee. Initiated or brought voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, but such indemnification or advancement of Expenses may be provided by the Corporation in specific cases if the Board of Directors finds it to be appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall provide indemnification including the advancement of Expenses with respect to Proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under these Articles or any other statute or law or as otherwise required under the statute.
11.8.2 Lack of Good Faith. Instituted by Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Article, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions made by Indemnitee in such proceeding was not made in good faith or was frivolous.
11.8.3 Insured Claims. For which any of the Expenses or liabilities for indemnification is being sought have been paid directly to Indemnitee by an insurance carrier under a policy of officers' and directors' liability insurance maintained by the Corporation.
11.8.4 Prohibited by Law. If the Corporation is prohibited by the NRS or other applicable law as then in effect from paying such indemnification and/or advancement of Expenses. For example, the Corporation and Indemnitee acknowledge that the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") has taken the position that indemnification is not possible for liabilities arising under certain federal securities laws. Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the Corporation has undertaken or may be required in the future to undertake with the SEC to submit the
question of indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a determination of the Corporation's right to indemnify Indemnitee.
11.9 Successors and Assigns. All obligations of the Corporation to indemnify any Director or Officer shall be binding upon all successors and assigns of the Corporation (including any transferee of all or substantially all of its assets and any successor by merger or otherwise by operation of law). The Corporation shall not effect any sale of substantially all of its assets, merger, consolidation, or other reorganization, in which it is not the surviving entity, unless the surviving entity agrees in writing to assume all such obligations of the Corporation.
ARTICLE XII - CORPORATION'S ACQUISITION OF ITS OWN SHARES
The Corporation may purchase, redeem, receive, take or otherwise acquire, own and hold, sell, lend, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of, pledge, use and otherwise deal with and in its own shares. Shares of the Corporation's stock acquired by it pursuant to this Article shall be considered "Treasury Stock" and so held by the Corporation. The shares so acquired by the Corporation shall not be considered as authorized and unissued but rather as authorized, issued, and held by the Corporation. The shares, so acquired shall not be regarded as cancelled or as a reduction to the authorized capital of the Corporation unless specifically so designated by the Board of Directors in an amendment to these Articles of Incorporation. The provisions of this Article do not alter or effect the status of the Corporation's acquisition of its shares as a "distribution" by the Corporation, nor alter or effect the limitations on distributions by the Corporation. Any shares so acquired by the Corporation, unless otherwise specifically designated by the Board of Directors, at the time of acquisition, shall be considered on subsequent disposition, as transferred rather than reissued. Nothing in this Article limits or restricts the right of the Corporation to resell or otherwise dispose of any of its shares previously acquired for such consideration and according to such procedures as established by the Board of Directors.
The undersigned has signed these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation as of December 31, 2008.
