SIMEX GROUP INC. (OTC: ARGB) LAUNCHES KAZAKHSTAN JADE PROJECT
LAS VEGAS, Aug 8 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Simex Group Inc. (formerly known as American Retail Group Inc.), is the holding company of Simex Inc., the developer and owner of the multifunctional blockchain platform “SIMEX”. Simex Group Inc. is proud to announce that Hong Kong-based mining company, Jade Resources Limited, has agreed to plan its next investment offering round, the Kazakhstan Jade Project: a new security token endeavor, utilizing the SIMEX platform.
Simex Inc. is the beneficial owner of a licensed digital assets exchange organized and existing under the laws of the Republic of Estonia. Simex Inc. specializes in a wide range of software solutions in the blockchain industry including development, maintenance, and support of its state-of-the-art multifunctional digital exchange platform and diverse software instrumentarium of tokenization and digitalization of securities and commodities. Simex Group Inc. intends to open access to blockchain investment vehicles to investors around the globe. Simex Group Inc. expects that by utilizing the SIMEX platform, it will open new horizons to issuers, investors, and broker-dealers and will make the process of investment easier for both investors and issuers.
The Kazakhstan Jade Project is developed for Jade Resources Limited, a leader in the mining and production of jadeite and one of the major suppliers of jade to China. Jade Resources Limited owns one of the largest single jadeite deposits in the world, in a jade mine in Kazakhstan. Jade Resources Limited is a vertically integrated company controlling the entire chain of jadeite operations: from mining and manufacturing to marketing. Access to Jade Resources Limited will allow investors from multiple countries* to access securities of Jade Resources Limited and participate in its projects.
Kevin Foo, the CEO and President of Jade Resources Limited, announced: “Use of new technologies is very common in the mining industry. Technology provided by SIMEX makes it easier for investors to enter prospective high-yielding mining projects such as Kazakhstan Jade. We can offer potential investors the opportunity to assess our project and to know that their investment is compliant with the pertinent securities laws and secured by the blockchain encrypted technology of SIMEX.”
Kevin Foo has had a forty-year career in all aspects of the mining industry, including R&D, operational, project management, and directorship in public companies. He has lived and worked in countries on five continents, including twenty years in Kazakhstan and Russia. Mr. Foo is best known for his revitalization and refinancing of the UK public mining company, Celtic Resources Holdings. He took this company with a market capitalization of USD $700,000 in November 1999, and later successfully sold it to a large Russian holding for USD $360 million in December 2007. Mr. Foo is also known as one of the few entrepreneurs who made a successful crossover to the oil and gas industry. He founded Victoria Oil and Gas Plc which became a successful gas utility company in Cameroon under his lead. He stepped down as Chairman of Victoria Oil and Gas Plc in early 2019 to focus on developing a major jade deposit in Kazakhstan.
* Although Simex Group Inc. is actively exploring the opportunity to allow the United States investors to register with the SIMEX platform, this option, is not available at the time of this announcement.
