Item 5. Other Events
Effective May 10, 1995, FirstMiss Gold Inc. elected Walter A. Drexel
to its board of directors. Drexel has more than 20 years of executive
financial and administrative experience with Atlantic Richfield Company,
including three years with its mining subsidiary Anaconda, and Burlington
Northern Inc. Now retired, he most recently was vice chairman of Burlington
Northern and is currently part owner of Chicago Central Railroad.
Drexel was elected by the board of directors following an increase in
the size of the board as permitted by the Nevada corporate code and pursuant to
the bylaws of FirstMiss Gold. The bylaws provide that the number of directors
shall be determined by resolution of the board of directors or by the
shareholders at the annual meeting (Article III, Section 2). Any increase in
the authorized number of directors creates a vacancy on the board, which may be
filled by vote of a majority of the remaining directors (Article III, Section
4). A newly created directorship resulting from an increase in the authorized
number of directors shall be apportioned by the board among the three classes
of directors so as to maintain such classes as nearly equal as possible
(Article III, Section 3).
Further information concerning Mr. Drexel is contained in a press
release issued by FirstMiss Gold Inc. on May 25, 1995 (attached as Exhibit 99
hereto), which is incorporated herein by reference.
