On May 20, 2016 at a meeting of the Canyon Gold Board of Directors, Frank Thorwald resigned his position as a director, effective immediately. Mr. Thorwald has served as a director since November 23, 2015. At the time of his resignation, there were no disagreements between Mr. Thorwald and Canyon Gold on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices. Also at the May 20 meeting, Mr. Thorwald was appointed to the Company's Advisory Board.

Also on May 20, 2016, the Board of Directors appointed Charles Cortland Hooper as a director and a member of the Company's Advisory Board, effective immediately. Mr. Hooper has a background in Mineral Exploration and Mining and currently is the owner of Old Town Financial in La Jolla, California, a designer, financier and developer of commercial buildings and other real estate projects.

He is a graduate systems engineer from the University of California at Los Angeles and holds a Master of Science Degree in Management.

We have taken the initial steps to change our corporate name to Defense Technologies International Corp. The Company has received the written consent approving the name change from stockholders holding approximately 91% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock and filed an amendment with the State of Delaware on May 18, 2016 to effect the name change. We are in the process of filing with FINRA for the new name that will be reflected on the OTCQB when approved.
