Besra Gold faces new shareholder pressure over governance and gold agreements
Besra Gold Inc has received a second formal notice from shareholder Ron Mehmet, raising new proposals for the company. The latest filing, submitted on 2 March 2026, follows an earlier notice from January and could trigger further corporate action if deemed valid.
The new notice was issued under Section 143 of the Canada Business Corporations Act (CBCA). It includes proposed changes to the Board's composition, alongside unresolved matters from the January 15 notice regarding the Gold Purchase Agreement (GPA) with Quantum Metal Recovery Inc (QMRI).
Besra Gold is now examining the validity of both notices. Legal advisors have been consulted to assess whether the latest submission meets regulatory requirements. If confirmed as valid, the company will be required to hold a special general meeting, resulting in substantial costs.
The January notice had already prompted internal reviews, but this second filing adds pressure for potential governance changes. Shareholders and the Board await further clarification on the next steps.
The outcome of the legal review will determine whether a special meeting proceeds. If approved, the proposed Board changes and GPA-related matters will be put to a vote. The company has not yet announced a timeline for its decision.
