THE CORPORATION

The full name of the Corporation is ProtoExplorations a Holdings Inc. (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "the Corporation"). The head office of the Corporation is located at the 7th Floor, 366 Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario.

HISTORY OF THE CORPORATION

The Corporation originates from the merger of six mining explorations companies, namely, Proto Explorations Limited (Proto) ; North Exf dines Limited (North Expo) ; Palomino Explorations Limited (I imino) ; Courier Explorations Limited (Courier) ; Copper r^.ig Mines Limited (Copper King) ; and Loyalist Mines Limited (Loyalist) . Proto, North Expo, Palomino and Courier all originally incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario were amalgamated under the provisions of The Business Corporations Act (Ontario) by Articles of Amalgamation which became effective February 24, 1972. Copper King and Loyalist were originally incorporated under the laws of the Province of New Brunswick and could not be formally amalgamated with the Ontario corporations. A merger of Copper King and Loyalist was accordingly effected on the share exchange basis noted below.

In the result the Corporation has an authorized capital of 5,000,000 shares without par value of which 1,222,329 shares are presently issued and outstanding.

As a result of the amalgamation and merger the Corporation:

Transmittal letters have been mailed to all share holders of the merging corporations and the exchange of shares of the Corporation for shares of the merging corporations is in progress. Shareholder authority h;s been given and in due course the Charters of both Copper King and Loyalist will be surrendered under the laws of the Province of New Brunswick.

Holders of escrowed shares of the merging corpora tions will receive escrowed shares of the Corporation. See below under the heading "Escrowed Shares".

The purpose of the merger was primarily to reduce the costs attendant to the administration of six separate entities and to facilitate the financing reflected in this Prospectus.

20 unpatented mining claims located in the Antler Lake Area, Ontario, being claims numbers TB230926 to TB230945 inclusive. These claims were acquired by Proto in January, 1970, from Albert Hopkins, 810 Duplex Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, at a cost of $3,000.00. A program consisting of airborne and ground magnetic and electromagnetic surveys was carried out by Proto at a cost of $5,700.00.

No further work is planned for these claims at this time, however, same are in good standing until November 27, 1974, and the aforementioned program will be reviewed again before a decision is made to drop these claims. The present holders of the aforesaid 29,348 shares have agreed to transfer same for the benefit of the Treasury of the Corporation.

On the recommendation of Courier's consulting engineer all but the aforesaid 2 claims were permitted to lapse. The remaining 2 claims are in good standing until April 13, 1973. No work is planned for these claims at the present time. The Company's consulting engineer has recommended the drilling of 2 short holes from the ice. This recommendation will be reviewed during the forthcoming winter.
