Number of Shares and Maximum Value of Services
The number of Common Shares in the capital stock of San Xxxxxxxx Resources Inc. (the "Company") to be issued to Gogniat under an S-8 registration is not to exceed 300,000 (Three Hundred Thousand) with the actual number issued dependent in the view of the Board of Directors on the degree of accomplishment of the services to be performed on behalf of the Company by Gogniat as set out below under General Description of Services to be Performed.
The maximum value of the services to be provided at a deemed price of US $0.125 will amount to a maximum of US $37,500.
General Description of Services to be Performed
To assist in negotiating debt settlement agreements with outstanding and overdue bills payable to prepare the way for the accounting to be brought current. Whereas it was stated in the Annual Report filed by way of a FORM 20-F;
"Failure of the Company to raise the required funds to pay the annual property holding costs may lead to the abandonment of its property interests. In this case a change in business direction for the company may be required, in which case it could cease to a mining exploration company."
Therefore the Board of Directors recognizes the need to work with consultants who could conduct a search for a joint
venture partner for its mineral properties, or find another direction as to the type of business in which the Company could
become involved, bring the parties together and produce the necessary regulatory filings and documentation involved,
thereby enhancing shareholder value.
