Analysis · PUBC · Industrial Applications And Services
Purebase Corp has entered into an agreement with CoreTer LLC, an entity owned by its CEO, A. Scott Dockter. Under this MOU, Purebase will receive 20% of net proceeds from a mining contract held by CoreTer. In exchange, Purebase waives its right to corporate opportunities related to this and similar agreements, allowing the CEO to pursue them through his private entity without fiduciary breach. While this provides a potential new revenue stream for the financially distressed company, the waiver of corporate opportunities raises significant governance concerns and could limit Purebase's long-term growth potential.
