ITEM 3. BANKRUPTCY OR RECEIVERSHIP
On June 1, 2000, the United States Bankruptcy Court approved and entered
an Order Authorizing Non-Material Modification of Debtor's Second Amended
Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization (the "Order"). The Debtor, Casmyn Corp., a
Colorado corporation, is now known as Aries Ventures Inc., a Nevada
corporation, and is referred to herein as the "Company". The Debtor's
Second Amended Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") was confirmed
by the United States Bankruptcy Court on March 31, 2000 and became effective
on April 11, 2000. The Order authorized the Company to bypass the issuance
of the New Goldco Warrants as provided for in the Plan, and instead to issue
and distribute to its shareholders all or a majority of the common stock of
the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary that owns the Company's mining
investments and properties.
On May 18, 2000, the name of the Company's subsidiary incorporated in
the state of Nevada that owns the Company's mining investments and properties
was changed from Goldco Ltd. to Resource Ventures, Inc.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company's Board of Directors has
authorized the spin-off of all of the shares of common stock of Resource
Ventures, Inc. effective July 1, 2000, to the Company's shareholders of
record on April 11, 2000. Accordingly, shareholders entitled to exchange
their old securities for new securities pursuant to the Plan will receive one
share of common stock and one common stock purchase warrant (hereinafter
designated as the "Series A" warrants) in Aries Ventures Inc. and in Resource
Ventures, Inc., respectively.
The Order Authorizing Non-Material Modification of Debtor's Second
Amended Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1.
