Furthermore, a VRIFY presentation for the Converse and Rattlesnake Hills project is available on our website to provide an interactive overview of these assets.

"When we focused our investment strategy to the resource sector, gold was trading at approximately $2,000 per ounce and we had a theory that we could consolidate high quality gold ounces in North America. Many investors agreed with us, and we were able to raise approximately CAD $20,000,000 to pursue this strategy. Fast forward to today and we have acquired, or have agreements to acquire, 3 high quality projects in North America with close to 8,000,000 ounces, paying an average of $5 per ounce. Gold is now at all-time highs, soaring past $3,400/oz, validating our shift in investment focus. Our largest investment in the Converse Project in Nevada is now being drilled to test for the extension at depth, with our thesis being there is potential for Goldstrike style mineralization" said Mario Vetro, Co-Founder and Director of Axcap Ventures.

Mr. Vetro continues "The clearing of the prospectus took longer than anticipated, which, until it cleared, delayed our marketing and investor awareness programs. In the coming weeks, the company plans to update the market on these initiatives. We are very excited to increase awareness to the fact that Converse is the largest gold deposit in Nevada not owned by a major mining company and is trading at just $5/oz of gold resource. Finally, I am very proud that our team has led the way in showing our conviction in our company and assets with significant insider investments of over $1,000,000during the past months".
