AMZ's joint venture with Sepco III is actively seeking road building opportunities. The Sepco group of Chinese construction and engineering companies is among the top 100 largest global contractors in the world. In addition to this previously announced relationship with this major Chinese state owned enterprise; the Company is in discussions with a large international infrastructure and finance specialist who is seeking an ongoing relationship with AMZ.

The proceeds of the private placement will be used to take advantage of the evolution of the Company's Mongolian infrastructure activities over the last six months and implement a rapid expansion of the strategic business plan.

Management recognizes that the sheer size and scope of this opportunity requires very careful and strategic relationship building. We are pleased to report this process is progressing very positively and the Company anticipates being able to shortly provide more specific information.

She also sits as the Chair of the Canadian Eurasia Russian Business Association, Vancouver Chapter and brings significant funding and other Chinese State-owned enterprise relationships into Khot and AMZ. Erin has been a director of Khot since April 5, 2015.
