Tonogold Resources – Corporate Update
LA JOLLA, CA / ACCESSWIRE / June 28, 2021 / TONOGOLD RESOURCES, INC. (OTC PINK:TNGL) (‘Tonogold’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to announce changes to the Board of Directors, the restructuring of certain agreements made between Tonogold and Comstock Mining, Incorporated (‘CMI’), and to provide an update on the Company’s audit.
Tonogold aims to prove the existence of a substantial minable resource of gold and silver in the Comstock Mining District.
Changes to the Board of Directors
Effective as of June 21, 2021, Mark J. Ashley has been removed from Tonogold’s Board of Directors by majority consensus via shareholder resolution. Tonogold’s Directors and Interim CEO Brian Metzenheim wish to thank Mark Ashley for his long service to the Company. Mr. Ashley’s visionary recognition of the Comstock Mining District’s dormant potential and years of leadership have been instrumental in bringing the project into the Company’s portfolio.
The Company’s directors have appointed Mr. Fred Kofman to fill the vacant seat. Mr. Kofman is an expert on organizational leadership, personal mastery, team learning, and organizational effectiveness. Since August 2013, Mr. Kofman has been President of Conscious Business Center International, an organization that provides leadership training programs aimed at executives and senior management. During that period, he has also spent time at Google in the position of Vice President and at LinkedIn as Vice President of Executive Development. He is the author of the critically acclaimed business books, Metamanagement, Conscious Business and The Meaning Revolution. Mr. Kofman has taught management accounting, control systems, and leadership at MIT’s Sloan School of Management. He received a Ph.D. in economics from the University of California, Berkeley.
Restructuring of certain agreements between Tonogold and Comstock Mining, Inc. (CMI)
As part of an effort to restructure short-term expenditures, Tonogold is pleased to announce the negotiation of an Omnibus Amendment Agreement between Tonogold and CMI, establishing the short-term suspension of reimbursement payments required to be made to CMI under the company’s Membership Purchase Agreement and Senior Secured Convertible Note. Under the negotiated terms, project reimbursements have been suspended from June 1st through August 30th, 2021. The suspended reimbursement payments, which are anticipated to aggregate approximately $1,000,000, have been added to the principal amount of the convertible note in addition to a 10 percent fee. The addition of the $1,100,000 to the note brings the total principal to $6,550,000. Payments for project reimbursements will resume following August 31, 2021.
Audit Update
It has been Tonogold’s goal to upgrade its current Pink Sheet listing status and become a fully reporting entity pursuant to SEC regulations. In order to achieve this goal, the company appointed Marcum, LLC as its independent auditor and initiated the audit process during the second half of last year. The audit process has been slower than anticipated due to a number of complications including the complexity of the multi-step transaction through which Tonogold acquired the Comstock assets, resolving issues around the acquisition of Mil-Ler, Inc., and delays in moving data through the various steps of the audit process. At this point, the majority of the hurdles have been worked through, the flow of data is being tracked and streamlined, and the audit is moving through the latter stages of the process. The current timeframe anticipates completion of the audit during the first half of August 2021. Once completed, the Company will move forward with the process to upgrade its listing status.
