Bio Resources Limited (“BRL”) is the beneficial and/or registered proprietor of the intellectual property known as “Catalytic Biofraction Process”, which is a slow pyrolysis process using a proprietary catalyst to depolymerise palm biomass wastes (empty fruit bunches or palm kernel shells) in temperature range of 350 degrees Celsius to 500 degrees Celsius to yield commercially valuable bio products: bio-oil, wood vinegar (pyroligneous acid), biochar and bio-syngas. The intellectual property is a second-generation pyrolysis process where non-food feedstock like palm biomass wastes is used as feedstock. Upon fulfilling UN‘s (United Nations) ACM 22 protocol as well as LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) requirements, we anticipate that the by-products from this IP would lead to certification and issuance of Carbon Avoidance Credits as well as Carbon Removal Credits to generate carbon revenue for the company.
We currently operate in two business segments: (i) gold exploration and mining through Champmark Sdn. Bhd., a Malaysian corporation (“CSB”); and (ii) production and distribution of renewable commodities through Verde Resources (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd., a Malaysian corporation. We intend to develop operations in the distribution of THC-free cannabinoid products through Verde Life Inc., an Oregon corporation. The Company is also considering investment opportunities in other non-mining areas including the bioenergy industry and the food & beverage sector.
With its acquisition of Bio Resources Ltd (“BRL”), the Company acquired the intellectual property known as “Catalytic Biofraction Process”, which is a slow pyrolysis process using a proprietary catalyst to depolymerise palm biomass wastes (empty fruit bunches or palm kernel shells) in temperature range of 350 degree Celsius to 500 degree Celsius to yield commercially valuable bio products: bio-oil, wood vinegar (pyroligneous acid), biochar and bio-syngas. The intellectual property is a second-generation pyrolysis process where non-food feedstock like the palm biomass wastes is used as feedstock.
Pyrolysis systems decompose waste without the use of oxygen under varying pressurized conditions and at temperatures ranging from 300 degrees Celsius and 1,300 degrees Celsius. The major advantage of pyrolysis is that it is a cost-effective technology and helps curb environmental pollution. Pyrolysis systems are gradually replacing traditional incineration and gaining momentum in the waste to energy processing market addresses many of the pre-treatment issues and, when using high temperature and high-pressure, substantially reduce or eliminates pollutant.

Pursuant to the Assignment Agreement For The Assignment of Management Right in Merapoh Gold Mines in Malaysia (“Assignment Agreement”) dated October 25, 2013, and a Supplementary Agreement dated February 17, 2014 on further clarifications to the Assignment Agreement signed by the Company with Federal Mining Resources Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“FMR”), the 100% interest of FMR in GBL was transferred to VRDR at a consideration of $1. This transaction was recorded as a reverse acquisition in accordance with ASC 805-40 “Reverse Acquisitions”. The legal parent was VRDR, which was the accounting acquiree, while GBL was the accounting acquirer. There was a 15% non-controlling interest of CSB after the acquisition. This transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein GBL with its 85% deemed subsidiary CSB was considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The assets and liabilities of the acquired entity have been brought forward at their book value and no goodwill has been recognized.
Prior to the acquisition of GBL, on July 1, 2013, FMR had assigned its rights and obligations pursuant to its 85% interest in Champmark Sdn Bhd (“CSB”) to GBL. According to ASC 810-05-08 A, CSB is a deemed subsidiary of GBL because due to the assignment, GBL had gained control of the Board of Directors of CSB, GBL’s rights to receive future benefits and residual value, and GBL’s obligation to absorb losses and provide financing for CSB. GBL had the power to direct the activities of CSB that most significantly impact CSB’s economic performance, and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits of CSB that could potentially be significant to CSB. Accordingly, GBL was the primary beneficiary of CSB. Under 810-23-42, 43, it was determined that CSB was de-facto agent and GBL, the principal, and consequently, CSB was considered as a deemed subsidiary of GBL beginning July 1, 2013.
With the above transactions, GBL became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and CSB, its 85% deemed indirect subsidiary.
On April 1, 2014, the Board of Directors of GBL notified Federal Mining Resources Limited (“FMR”) of the decision to exercise its option to purchase an 85% equity interest of Champmark Sdn Bhd (“CSB”) pursuant to Section 3.2.4 of the Management Agreement dated July 1, 2013, between GBL and FMR.
