history

AFR NuVenture Resources Inc., formerly named African Metals Corporation, (“AFR”) was incorporated in British Columbia, Canada, in May 1980, with its focus on the African nation of the Democratic Republic of Congo. However, after the sudden resignation of officers and directors in June 2016, Simeon Tshisangama was left as the only remaining director of the company. In July 2016, John F. O’Donnell and David V. Mason were appointed to fill the board vacancies to comply with legal and stock exchange requirements, and Simeon Tshisangama was appointed as CEO.

After this time, the new officers and directors learned of the dire financial situation of AFR. As a consequence of AFR’s insolvent condition, AFR was unable to meet its continuous disclosure requirements and became the subject of a cease trading order (“CTO”) issued by the British Columbia Securities Commission (“BCSC”). It was also transferred to the NEX board of the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV), and was subsequently suspended from trading.

AFR’s new leadership resolved the insolvency through the sale of its DRC assets and settling its liabilities, leaving AFR with cash reserves. As a result of these efforts, AFR was returned to financial and corporate health and good standing. Consequently, the CTO was lifted, trading on the TSXV was reinstated, and the TSXV accepted for filing the underlying agreements whereby AFR acquired the option right to acquire an interest in the SBSL mineral exploration project in Montana, U.S.A., particulars of which can be found elsewhere on this website under the Project Details section.

John F.O’Donnell has been appointed as Chairman, President and CEO of AFR, and A. Douglas Hunter has been appointed as a director to add professional geological expertise to the Board of Directors.

In November 2021, AFR changed its name to AFR NuVenture Resources Inc. to reflect the new focus of the company.

AFR continues to examine other opportunities.
