(TSXV: HU.H) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) in respect to its previously announced Qualifying Transaction (as that term is defined in Policy 2.4 of the Exchange’s Corporate Finance Manual (the “Policy”)) of the Exchange (the “Transaction”).

FILING STATEMENT AND TECHNICAL REPORT

The Company has filed a CPC Filing Statement (the “Filing Statement”) dated October 26, 2020 regarding the Transaction together with required documents including consents, financial statements and a technical report (the “Technical Report”) dated effective August 10, 2020, titled “The Mohave Gold Project” and authored by Robert Johansing, BSc Geology, MSc Economic Geology, QP MMSA (the “Author”) regarding the Mohave Project (as that term is defined below).

The Filing Statement and Technical Report can be found on SEDAR under the Company’s issuer profile at www.sedar.com.

Readers are encouraged to review the Filing Statement for full details on the Transaction and the Resulting Issuer (as that term is defined below). This news release contains only summary information regarding the Transaction.

THE TRANSACTION

The Transaction was first announced on June 10, 2020 when it was announced that the Company had entered into a letter of intent (the “Letter of Intent”) with ML Nevada Corp. (“M3 Metals Nevada”), a wholly owned Nevada incorporated subsidiary of M3 Metals Corp. (“M3 Metals”), a TSX Venture Exchange listed company.

Under the terms of the Letter of Intent, M3 Metals was, through M3 Metals Nevada, to grant to the Company an option (the “Option”) under the terms of a mineral property option agreement to be drafted and executed (the “Definitive Option Agreement”) to acquire up to a 90% interest in a mineral project which is the subject of a mineral property option and purchase agreement (the “Underlying Agreement”) under which M3 Metals has the right and option (the “Underlying Option”) to acquire up to a 100% right, title and interest in and to certain mineral properties (the “Mohave Project”) in Arizona.

The Company also announced that it was engaging in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) as described below and that three persons (the “New Principals”) would join the Company as Directors and Officers upon closing of the Transaction.

THE MOHAVE PROJECT

The Mohave Project is comprised of a total of 160 claims including lode claims and mill-site claims within Mohave County, Arizona, USA. The Mohave Project is host to widespread anomalous gold in both rocks and soil over an area of approximately 10 square kilometres. The geochemistry indicates that the numerous historic gold mines within this 10 square kilometres area may be part of one hydrothermal system. The high-grade gold occurs in association with quartz-calcite veins, breccia, sheeted veins and stockwork. The current geological model at the Mohave Project indicates that an epithermal gold system was emplaced into an evolving volcanic/intrusive complex within a north-trending structural corridor undergoing extreme extension. These circumstances provided fluid pathways for the gold-bearing fluids to fill a series of veins that have been rotated to a sub-horizontal position. Some of these veins are clearly exposed at the surface while others are suspected to be concealed.

Historically there have been more than 550 historic drill holes totaling approximately 68,000 feet drilled within limited areas of the Mohave Project. Most of these holes were shallow, 100 feet-deep, air-track holes, many of which stopped in gold mineralization. Most of the work was done by private companies in the 1980s and 1990s.

The Mohave Project is described in detail in the Company’s Technical Report and a number of details regarding the Mohave Project are summarized in the Company’s news release of June 10, 2020.

THE DEFINITIVE OPTION AGREEMENT

The Definitive Option Agreement was executed by the Company, M3 Metals, M3 Metals Nevada and the Company’s newly incorporated Nevada subsidiary, Mohave USA Gold Corp. effective July 4, 2020.

The Definitive Option Agreement reflects the terms and conditions described in the Company’s July 15, 2020 news release except that these terms and conditions were subsequently amended such that the CDN$400,000 payment to M3 Metals to be made by Huffington is to be made on the eighteen month anniversary of the Definitive Option Agreement and not the fifteen month anniversary.

To exercise the Option as to a ninety (90%) percent right, title and interest in and to the Mohave Project, the Company (directly or through its Nevada subsidiary) now must:

(a) Pay to M3 Metals Nevada the sum of CDN$300,000 upon closing of the Transaction;

(b) Pay to M3 Metals Nevada the sum of CDN$400,000 on the eighteen month anniversary of the Definitive Option Agreement;

(c) Pay to M3 Metals Nevada the sum of CDN$400,000 on the second anniversary of the Definitive Option Agreement;

(d) On or before the third anniversary of the Definitive Option Agreement pay to M3 Metals or to M3 Metals Nevada (at M3 Metals’ option) CDN$2million which payment may, at the Company’s election, be made up to fifty (50%) percent in common shares of the Company (the “Shares”) based on those Shares’ market price on the date of their issuance;

(e) On or before the third anniversary of the Definitive Option Agreement, make CDN$1million in aggregate exploration expenditures on the Mohave Project;

(f) On or before the fourth anniversary of the Definitive Option Agreement pay to M3 Metals or to M3 Metals Nevada (at M3 Metals’ option) CDN$3million which payment may, at the Company’s option, be made up to fifty (50%) percent in Shares based on those Shares’ market price on the date of their issuance; and

(g) On or before the fourth anniversary of the Definitive Option Agreement, make an additional CDN$2million in exploration expenditures (for a total of at least CDN$3million) on the Mohave Project.

Upon having made the payments and the exploration expenditures in (a)-(g) above and provided that the Company has fully maintained the Underlying Agreement in good standing and exercised the Underlying Option, the Company will have exercised the Option as to a ninety (90%) percent right, title and interest in and to the Mohave Project.

If the Company elects to issue the Shares as described in (d) or (f) above, it must first obtain Exchange approval to such an issuance.

CONCURRENT PRIVATE PLACEMENT

In conjunction with the Transaction, the Company is to complete a concurrent private placement (the “Private Placement”) which is a non-brokered private placement of 11,875,000 units (the “Units”) at $0.08 per Unit. Each Unit is comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant exercisable at $0.12 for a period of one (1) year from the date of issue.

Shares issued as part of the Private Placement are subject to the Exchange’s value security escrow agreement as described in the Filing Statement.

As fintech continues to reshape the global financial landscape, today’s briefing highlights pivotal developments, strategic expansions, and innovative launches across the industry. This op-ed explores the latest advancements with commentary on their potential impacts and challenges.


Finastra Data Breach: A Wake-Up Call for Fintech Security

Source: KrebsOnSecurity

The cybersecurity landscape is buzzing after Finastra, one of the largest financial technology providers globally, confirmed an investigation into a potential data breach. Reports suggest unauthorized access to its systems, raising concerns about data security across its client base, which includes thousands of banks and financial institutions worldwide.

Implications and Challenges

While the details of the breach remain sparse, this incident underscores a glaring vulnerability in the fintech sector—cybersecurity. As financial services increasingly rely on interconnected ecosystems, breaches like these threaten not only individual institutions but also the trust customers place in fintech platforms.

The key takeaway for the fintech industry is clear: proactive cybersecurity strategies must go beyond compliance. Real-time threat detection, robust encryption standards, and regular audits are no longer optional but essential for maintaining operational integrity.

Future Considerations

This breach could trigger a domino effect, prompting regulators to tighten security standards and requiring fintech companies to double down on investments in data protection. Startups and mid-tier players, often lacking extensive cybersecurity budgets, may face significant pressure to keep pace.

Strategic Revival

This move reflects PayPal’s commitment to customer-centric innovation. By reinstating a feature beloved by its user base, the company seeks to reclaim market share lost to emerging competitors offering similar functionalities.

Broader Industry Impacts

Money pooling represents a broader trend in fintech—customized solutions that cater to niche needs. This reintroduction may inspire competitors like Venmo and CashApp to refine their collaborative payment offerings.
