Red Rock Chairman Andrew Bell comments: "We are pleased by the support offered
by investors and shareholders for this novel instrument. With the expectation
of near term positive developments including an IPO for an investment,
production, and a compensation award, we did not want to dilute supportive
shareholders by issuing a discounted equity or debt instrument that might be
traded out into the market, and this instrument in our judgment fairly
balances the competing interests, and of course incentivises us to develop
positive news for the Company."
