Reading Time: 6 minutes

Calgary, Alberta–(Newsfile Corp. – June 28, 2021) – Fredonia Mining Inc. (TSXV: RRCC.P) (formerly Richmond Road Capital Corp.) (the “Company“) is pleased to announce that it completed its previously announced arm’s length qualifying transaction (the “Qualifying Transaction“) with Fredonia Management Limited (“Fredonia Management“) by way of a three-cornered plan of merger (the “Merger“) under the laws of the British Virgin Islands with an effective closing date of June 24, 2021. Pursuant to the plan of Merger, Fredonia Mining Corp., a new, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, merged with Fredonia Management, as consideration for which the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of the merged company in exchange for the issuance of common shares of the Company. For more information on the Qualifying Transaction, refer to the filing statement of the Company dated June 22, 2021 (the “Filing Statement“) available under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com.

Prior to completing the Qualifying Transaction, the Company changed its name to Fredonia Mining Inc. In addition, the Company effected a consolidation of its common shares on the basis of one new common share for every 1.36 old common shares outstanding (the “Consolidation“).

“We are extremely pleased and excited with the completion of the Qualifying Transaction and appreciate the support and patience of all our shareholders as our team worked relentlessly through the process,” commented Estanislao Auriemma, CEO of Fredonia Management, and now, the Company. “In parallel, our operating team in Argentina has been working on all preparatory requirements with the objective of hitting the ground running immediately on the back of the completion of the Qualifying Transaction, with an objective to ramp up and fast track our drilling activities and reporting on our progress in the coming months. We have an exceptional team with deep knowledge of what we view as a world-class gold and silver asset.”

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger, all outstanding shares of Fredonia Management were exchanged for post-Consolidation securities of the Company on a one-for-one basis. In the aggregate, the Company issued a total of 146,451,688 common shares of the Company, which included 37,445,310 common shares issued to investors in the brokered concurrent financing completed by Fredonia Management on February 25, 2021 to raise aggregate gross proceeds of approximately CDN$6.4 million (the “Concurrent Financing“). A total of 18,722,653 warrants of Fredonia Management (exercisable only for shares of the Company upon completion of the Qualifying Transaction (the “Resulting Issuer“)) were also issued in connection with the Qualifying Transaction to the subscribers in the Concurrent Financing. No fractional warrants were issued and fractional entitlements to warrants were rounded down to the nearest whole warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one share of the Resulting Issuer at an exercise price of $0.25 per share for a period of three years from the closing of the Qualifying Transaction (the “Warrant Expiry Date“). The Company will be entitled to accelerate the Warrant Expiry Date upon notice to the warrant holders should the closing trading price of the Resulting Issuer shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV“) be greater than $0.60 for twenty consecutive trading days. Following completion of the Qualifying Transaction, there are currently 150,863,453 common shares of the Resulting Issuer outstanding. Proceeds from the Concurrent Financing were released from escrow to Fredonia Management concurrently with completion of the Qualifying Transaction. Interested parties should also refer to the press releases of the Company dated February 25, 2021, April 8, 2021, and June 22, 2021 (the “Press Releases“) and the Filing Statement for further information.

The directors of the Resulting Issuer following completion of the Qualifying Transaction are Ali Mahdavi (Chairman), Ricardo Auriemma, Estanislao Auriemma, Waldo Perez, and Michael Doolan. Estanislao Auriemma has been appointed Chief Executive Officer and Carlos Espinosa has been appointed Chief Financial Officer of the Resulting Issuer.

In connection with the Qualifying Transaction, principals of the Resulting Issuer have entered into a Tier 2 Value Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Agreement“) with TSX Trust Company, as escrow agent, in respect of 46,810,828 Resulting Issuer shares. Under the terms of the Escrow Agreement, 10% of such escrowed securities will be released upon the date of the Exchange’s Final Listing Bulletin, with the balance to be released in six equal tranches of 15% every six months thereafter.

Additionally, 2,205,882 Resulting Issuer shares held by former principals of the Company will continue to be held in escrow pursuant to a CPC Escrow Agreement (as defined in Policy 2.4). Under the CPC Escrow Agreement, such escrowed securities will be subject to a 36-month staged release, with a first release of 10% of such securities occurring on the date of the Exchange’s Final Listing Bulletin, with the balance to be released in six equal tranches of 15% every six months thereafter.

The Company’s transfer agent, TSX Trust Company, will be delivering notice of registration in the transfer agent’s Direct Registration System (a “DRS Advice“) to all registered shareholders and warrantholders of the Company (other than for those that are required to be in certificated form) setting out each holder’s shareholdings and warrantholdings. Entitlements in favour of participants in the Concurrent Financing who hold their entitlement through their broker will not receive a DRS Advice as such entitlements are not registered in the holder’s name but instead registered in the name of CDS & Co., as the nominee of the Canadian Depository for Securities Limited. Such holders should contact their broker for information as to their entitlement. The ISIN number for the Resulting Issuer shares is CA3560631077.

The Common Shares of the Resulting Issuer are expected to commence trading on the TSXV under the symbol “FRED” upon satisfaction of certain standard conditions to listing on a date that can in no event be earlier than seven business days after June 22, 2021, being the date the Filing Statement was filed. A further press release will be issued once trading has commenced.

Neither the TSXV nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSXV) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

The securities being offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent U.S. registration or an applicable exemption from the U.S. registration requirements.

Viktoria Soltesz – Founder at PSP Angels

What has been the most surprising or valuable lesson in your career within the gaming/tech sector?

In my career within the gaming/tech sector, one of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned is the importance of having a payment plan. While analyzing the financial and banking information of various companies, I noticed a recurring pattern: many companies that failed did so due to poor payment and banking practices. They often miscalculated risks, under-budgeted costs, or neglected to set up a proper payment plan. These errors in financial planning were common culprits behind their downfall. What surprised me the most was how easily these businesses could have avoided such failures with proper payment planning. It became evident that many businesses fail for avoidable reasons, and simply taking the time to understand and establish a payment plan can make a significant difference. By paying close attention to the flow of money and investing just a few hours in crafting a solid plan, a business can set itself on a path to success, outperforming much of its competition.

Can you tell us about a project or achievement in your career that you’re particularly proud of?

One of the achievements I’m particularly proud of in my career is the recent launch of my book, “Moving Money – How Banks Think,” which is now available on Amazon. This book is a valuable resource for businesses, emphasizing the often-overlooked importance of banking and payments in today’s competitive landscape. It provides insights into the intricacies of banking decisions, the history of payment systems, and practical guidance on managing funds more safely and cost-effectively. I’m excited to share this knowledge and help businesses make informed decisions in the realm of payments, especially those that are high-risk or startups.

What do you think are the biggest challenges facing the gaming and tech industries today?

In the gaming and tech industries today, one of the most significant challenges is undoubtedly related to payments. While these industries focus heavily on product development, market competition, and marketing strategies, the crucial aspect of payment planning often gets overlooked. This oversight can lead to businesses incurring unnecessary banking fees and facing unexpected operational risks. Understanding the complexities of banking and payment systems is crucial, yet it remains an area with limited knowledge for many in these sectors. Lack of knowledge in this domain can result in poor financial decision-making. As a payment expert, I have observed that addressing these payment-related challenges is essential for the long-term success and sustainability of businesses in the gaming and tech industries. By gaining a better understanding of how payments work and the reasoning behind banking decisions, these industries can navigate financial challenges more effectively and make informed choices, ultimately ensuring smoother operations and cost savings.

What are you most looking forward to at the Prague Gaming & TECH Summit?

I am greatly anticipating the upcoming Prague Gaming & TECH Summit for several compelling reasons. First and foremost, I’m excited about the high-quality content that will be presented during the event. It’s an excellent opportunity to gain valuable insights and knowledge about the gaming and tech industries.

Additionally, I’m looking forward to reconnecting with old acquaintances and making new connections. Networking is a fundamental aspect of such gatherings, allowing us to exchange ideas, share experiences, and forge new professional relationships.

Lastly, I’m eager to hear about the latest industry developments and gossip. Staying informed about the current trends and happenings within the gaming and tech sectors is essential for keeping a competitive edge in these dynamic industries.

Overall, the Prague Gaming & TECH Summit promises to be an enriching and engaging experience, offering valuable content, networking opportunities, and industry insights.

Jokes aside, Hipther events are renowned for their best-in-class networking, and I’m eagerly anticipating the opportunity to delve into topics such as iGaming, eSports, and Blockchain with top experts in the industry. This will mark my second collaboration on stage with Zoltan and the team, and I’m very much looking forward to it.

Can you tell us about a project or achievement in your career that you’re particularly proud of?

Jakub Tesar – Innovation, Digital & Emerging Tech Lead at EY

What are your top three predictions for the future of gaming and tech industries in the next five years?

  1. The Ethereum ecosystem will evolve into a hub for practical applications, driving large-scale enterprise adoption of blockchain technology.
  2. The growth of Web3 will empower users to have self-custody over virtual collectibles and in-game items, enabling the purchase of ‘phygital’ items that merge the physical and online worlds. This evolution will facilitate free trade on blockchain-powered marketplaces and allow brands to explore new monetization strategies for digital assets.
  3. Generative AI (GenAI) will revolutionize gaming experiences, enabling players to interact with non-player characters (NPCs) in more natural and dynamic ways, and experience storylines that adapt and evolve in real-time.

Can you share a recent innovation in the gaming/tech industry that excites you? What challenges do you think the industry needs to address? The integration of GenAI within gaming environments excites me the most. It offers unprecedented, natural-like interactions with GenAI-based NPCs and allows for fluid, dynamic storylines. However, the industry must navigate the ethical implications of AI, ensuring that these technologies are developed and used responsibly.

What has been the most surprising or valuable lesson in your career within the gaming/tech sector? In my career, the most valuable lesson has been the constant need for innovation and adaptability. The rapid pace at which technology evolves requires a perpetual learning mindset and the willingness to embrace change.

How do you see the role of AI and emerging technologies shaping the gaming and tech industries? AI and emerging technologies are set to fundamentally reshape the gaming and tech industries by introducing more immersive, interactive, and personalized experiences. These technologies will not only enhance gameplay but also offer new avenues for creativity and innovation within the sector.

What advice would you give to someone starting their career in the gaming or tech industry? Never stop learning. The gaming industry, in particular, is characterized by its rapid evolution and innovation. Staying informed and continually enhancing your skills is crucial to staying ahead in this competitive field.

What do you think are the biggest challenges facing the gaming and tech industries today? Addressing the ethical and societal implications of rapid technological advancement, including privacy concerns, data security, and the potential for misuse, remains a significant challenge.

How do you see regulations impacting the gaming and tech industries, and what changes would you like to see? Regulations need to strike a balance between fostering innovation and protecting consumers. I hope to see regulations evolve in a way that supports the ethical development of new technologies while ensuring they are accessible and beneficial to all.

What are you most looking forward to at the Prague Gaming & TECH Summit? I’m eagerly anticipating the opportunity to delve into the latest industry trends, connect with fellow professionals, and share insights on the evolving landscape of gaming and technology.

Is there a specific message or insight you hope attendees will take away from your session? I hope attendees recognize the enduring significance of blockchain technologies and are inspired to explore and experiment with their vast potential for innovative use cases.


Kaspar Szymanski – Founder of SearchBrothers

What do you think are the biggest challenges facing the gaming and tech industries today?

One of the primary challenges in an industry saturated with numerous market players offering similar web platforms and services is effectively defining and communicating a compelling unique selling proposition (USP). While brand building, prioritizing user experience, and optimizing website performance are essential, they are merely steps towards the ultimate goal of offering a service or product that isn’t readily available elsewhere. Moreover, developing a long-term strategy presents a significant challenge in an industry that tends to favor short-term success. The pressure of organizational and market demands often hinders decision-makers from adopting strategies focused on sustainable, gradual growth. This challenge is particularly evident in search engine optimization (SEO), where the goals of long-term growth and meeting immediate organizational needs must be aligned, as search engine algorithms prioritize actual ranking signals over organizational constraints.

What are you most looking forward to at the Prague Gaming & TECH Summit?

I am eager to share the unique insights into Google Search that I gained during my time working for Google, as well as my experiences as a consultant helping clients in competitive niches outperform their competitors. My presentation will include exciting real-life case studies, debunk several myths within the SEO industry, and provide attendees with actionable advice they can immediately apply. I am also looking forward to listening and learning from others, and eagerly anticipate addressing audience questions during the Q&A session following my presentation.

Is there a specific message or insight you hope attendees will take away from your session?

I want my audience to understand that Google penalties are not the end of the world and can be resolved. SEO setbacks, while initially unwelcome, can actually offer an opportunity for significant growth, potentially surpassing any previous rankings on Google Search. These moments can be a hidden blessing, revealing new paths to success. I invite anyone curious about the inner workings of Google Search, how it can benefit your website, and seeking genuine answers to their Google and SEO questions to join my session.


Jasmina Poglavc – Senior Product Manager at Gamanza Group AG & Freelance iGaming Consultant

Can you share a recent innovation in the gaming/tech industry that excites you, and what challenges do you think the industry needs to address?

My background in iGaming platforms and online operations has given me a unique perspective on the transformative potential of advanced data analytics and AI. These technologies promise significant changes, especially in real-time player engagement for iGaming platforms and operators. By analyzing player behavior, preferences, and patterns in real time, we can offer personalized promotions, customized gaming experiences, and targeted loyalty programs. This not only boosts player satisfaction but also optimizes revenue streams.

However, the full realization of these benefits faces challenges, primarily concerning data privacy and security. Protecting sensitive player information is paramount, and navigating the evolving regulatory landscape to align data-driven practices with compliance standards is equally crucial.

What has been the most surprising or valuable lesson in your career within the gaming/tech sector?

Adaptability has been the most valuable lesson in my career. The gaming and tech sectors are incredibly dynamic, with constant evolutions and innovations. Embracing change, remaining agile, and continuously seeking learning opportunities have been essential for navigating challenges and achieving success. Anticipating industry trends and staying informed about technological and regulatory developments are key to staying ahead.

What advice would you give to someone starting their career in the gaming or tech industry?

Stay curious and proactive. Embrace challenges as growth opportunities, keep up with industry trends, and cultivate a strong professional network. Innovation drives the gaming and tech industries, so developing a mindset that embraces change and fosters creativity is crucial.

What do you think are the biggest challenges facing the gaming and tech industries today?

The primary challenges include cybersecurity threats, talent acquisition and retention, and adapting to an evolving regulatory landscape. Balancing innovation with compliance is challenging, as regulations often lag behind technological advancements. A strategic, adaptive approach is essential for navigating these challenges, necessitating proactive engagement with regulators and an awareness of legal frameworks.

How do you see regulations impacting the gaming and tech industries, and what changes would you like to see?

The gaming industry, exemplified by the situation in Germany, faces challenges from overregulation, which can drive players toward unregulated, black-market operators. While regulations are crucial for ensuring fairness and consumer protection, too restrictive an environment can hinder the industry’s growth and inadvertently compromise player safety.

I advocate for regulations that evolve with technological advancements, are harmonized globally, and are developed in collaboration with industry stakeholders. This approach aims to balance consumer protection with innovation, ensuring a thriving, responsible gaming ecosystem.
