Bocana Resources Corp. (TSXV: BOCA, Frankfurt: VC1) has amended the terms of its proposed acquisition by London Gold LLC, while confirming that the transaction remains incomplete and dependent on further conditions. The planned Nasdaq listing of a London Gold-controlled entity has not yet been completed, leaving related funding unavailable.

#Amended term sheet extends agreement deadline

Bocana and London Gold signed an amended and restated term sheet on November 1, 2026. The document replaces the earlier term sheet and gives the parties until December 31, 2026 to finalise the terms of a definitive agreement covering the acquisition of all issued and outstanding Bocana shares by a newly formed London Gold-controlled entity, referred to as NewCo.

The amended term sheet raises the Initial Capital that London Gold has agreed to provide to Bocana from US$1,230,000 to US$2,000,000. Under the arrangement, the Initial Capital is intended to support deposits for several prospective mining projects, provide working capital and finance due diligence on projects that proceed. Bocana says London Gold is to provide the Initial Capital on or before December 31, 2026.

#Nasdaq listing and funding remain outstanding

The proposed structure contemplated a Nasdaq listing for NewCo, alongside access to capital connected with that listing. Bocana says the listing has not been completed and the secondary funding expected from the process has not become available. London Gold continues to pursue the listing arrangements and related funding.

The parties remain in discussions about the proposed transaction and the prospective projects. Bocana has not finalised or executed a definitive acquisition agreement and says there is no assurance that a transaction will be completed on the previously disclosed terms, revised terms or at all.

#Trading halt remains in place

Trading in Bocana's common shares remains halted and is expected to stay halted pending the execution of a definitive agreement and regulatory review of the comprehensive news release required for the proposed transaction. The company said the process is being handled under TSX Venture Exchange policies, including TSXV Policy 5.2.

Any reinstatement of trading requires TSXV approval. Bocana said there is no assurance about when, or whether, trading will resume. The company also identified the risk that the halt could continue for an extended period or that its shares could be transferred to the NEX board of the TSXV.

#Conditions and risks identified by Bocana

Bocana said completion of the proposed transaction depends on matters including the provision of the Initial Capital, agreement on and execution of a definitive agreement, completion of NewCo's Nasdaq listing and related funding, satisfactory due diligence on the projects, and required regulatory, stock exchange, shareholder and corporate approvals. Other closing conditions would also need to be satisfied if a definitive agreement is entered into, and further transaction terms apply.

The company warned that London Gold may not provide the Initial Capital when required, in full or at all, and that the parties may fail to agree terms or execute a definitive agreement by December 31, 2026 or at all. If the proposed transaction does not proceed, Bocana may not pursue the projects and may need to seek alternative financing, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. The company also cited potential effects on its financial condition and the trading price of its common shares.

Additional risks include NewCo failing to complete its Nasdaq listing or obtain related funding, unsuccessful project due diligence, failure to secure required approvals, risks connected with mineral exploration in Bolivia, and dilution and valuation risk if part of the consideration is paid in NewCo shares.
