Overview
We were incorporated on December 14, 2005 under the laws of the
State of Nevada. We are an exploration stage company and our primary objectives
are to: (i) commercially extract and refine precious metals from our own and
others leachable assets; (ii) use our lixiviation processes (Cholla and
thiourea) to convert specific ore bodies and fly ash landfills/monofills into
valuable assets, and (iii) joint venture, acquire and develop mining projects in
North America.
We are focusing our business on commercially processing
specific fly ash and other mineable ores, using a closed loop, leach process
that exposes extractable gold (the Cholla Process) at our processing and
refining plants located in Phoenix, Arizona (the Phoenix Facility) and
Scottsdale, Arizona (the Scottsdale Facility). Our facilities have a capacity
to process up to 10 tons per day. In our Phoenix Facility, we also utilize our
environmentally friendly proprietary technology for the extraction of precious
metals using thiourea stabilization (the Lixiviation Technology). The use of
thiourea stabilization is more environmentally friendly than cyanide or sulfuric
acid, which have traditionally been used for this purpose. See Facilities and
Technologies below.
We entered into a Memorandum of Understanding dated October 19,
2010 with Golden Anvil, SA de CV (Golden Anvil) with respect to the proposed
formation and funding of a proposed joint venture for the exploration and
development of mineral concessions owned by Golden Anvil in the State of
Nayarit, Mexico (the Golden Anvil Mine). We had previously entered into a
Letter of Intent and a Toll Processing Agreement in connection with the proposed
Joint Venture and the processing of concentrates at our Phoenix Facility. See
Golden Anvil below.
We also plan to engage in the exploration and development of
our Piute Valley Property located in Clark County, Nevada. Our Piute Valley
Property is a potential gold project that consists of a mineral lease covering
20.61 acres of patented claims (the Smith Lease) and an option to acquire a
7/8
th
interest in 20 unpatented claims (the BLM Claims) located
near the Smith Lease. Each BLM Claim is comprised of 160 acres. See The Piute
Valley Property below.
We are actively seeking to enter into joint ventures with third
parties who have legal rights to fly ash resources, including
landfills/monofills. There are no assurances that we will be able to
commercially extract precious metals from fly ash or other mineable ores using
our Cholla or thiourea processes or that we will be able to enter into joint
ventures for the exploration and development of additional mining projects.
Recent Corporate Developments
The following corporate developments occurred since the filing
of our Form 10-Q for fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2011:
Page 3 of 35
Compensatory Stock Awards
On March 28, 2011, we granted compensatory stock awards
totaling 2,550,000 common shares to certain officers and consultants, 900,000
shares of which were awarded to Jason S. Mitchell, our Chief Financial Officer,
Secretary and Treasurer and 900,000 shares were awarded to Michael C. Boyko, one
of our directors in his capacity as a consultant. The stock awards were issued
at a deemed price of $0.05 per share in exchange for services provided by the
grantees and were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933
(the Securities Act) as the grantees were sophisticated and had a relationship
with the Company that provided them with access to information needed to make
their investment decision. The stock awards were approved by the Companys board
of directors on March 28, 2011 on the basis that due to our limited financial
resources, the officers and consultants were not being adequately compensated by
the salary or consulting fees they receive.
Dismissal and Appointment of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm
On May 2, 2011, we dismissed Sarna & Company (Sarna), as
our independent registered public accounting firm and appointed De Joya Griffith
& Company, LLC, ("De Joya") as our new independent registered public
accounting firm.
Issuance of Common Stock
On July 13, 2011, we issued an aggregate of 23,020,000 Units
(the "Units") at a price of $0.05 per Unit in separate concurrent private
placement offerings for aggregate proceeds of $1,151,000 as described below.
Each Unit is comprised of one share of our common stock and one share purchase
warrant, with each warrant entitling the holder to purchase an additional share
of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share for a two year
period from the date of issuance.
(a)
|
US Private Placement
: We issued 21,700,000
Units for cash proceeds of $500,000 and to settle outstanding indebtedness
of $585,000. The issuances were completed pursuant to the provisions of
Rule 506 of Regulation D of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the Act). Each subscriber represented that they were an
accredited investor as defined under Regulation D of the Act.
|
|
|
(b)
|
Section 4(2) Private Placement
:
We
issued 1,320,000 Units to settle outstanding indebtedness of $66,000. The
issuances were completed pursuant to the provisions of Section 4(2) of the
Act. Each of the subscribers were corporations, all of the shares of which
are owned by directors or executive officers or close personal friends,
relatives or business associates of a director or executive officer of the
Company.
|
Facilities and Technologies
Our Phoenix Facility is an industrial building of approximately
9,800 square feet located in Phoenix, Arizona. The Phoenix Facility is designed
as a compact, modular, cost efficient, turn-key operation, with a capacity of
processing 4 tons of fly ash per day. In processing fly ash at our Phoenix
Facility, we utilize our Cholla Process and our Lixiviation Technology, being a
closed loop, zero liquid discharge, leach extraction process. Below is a diagram
of a 2 ton per hour processing circuit. The circuit at our Phoenix Facility is
smaller in size, however we expect to lease additional equipment to increase our
capacity.
Page 4 of 35
We acquired our interest in the Lixiviation Technology and our
Phoenix Facility on April 2, 2007 under the terms of a Technology and Asset
Purchase Agreement (the Technology Agreement) with New Verde River Mining Co.,
Inc. (New Verde) and Robert H. Gunnison. In consideration of the Lixiviation
Technology and the Phoenix Facility, we paid and issued the following:
|
(a)
|
$300,000 to New Verde for the purchase of the equipment
within the Phoenix Facility as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(i)
|
$175,000 upon execution of the Technology Agreement
(which amount has been paid); and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(ii)
|
$125,000 of which $50,000 is outstanding.
|
|
|
|
|
|
(b)
|
issued 2,000,000 shares to Mr. Gunnison for the
Lixiviation Technology.
|
Concurrent with the acquisition of the Lixiviation Technology
and the Phoenix Facility, we entered into an Employment Agreement dated April 2,
2007 (the Employment Agreement) with Robert H. Gunnison whereby Mr. Gunnison
agreed to act as our Production Manager commencing on April 2, 2008. In
consideration of Mr. Gunnisons services, we pay Mr. Gunnison a salary of
$120,000 per annum.
On March 13, 2009, we entered into the Payment Extension and
License Agreement with New Verde and Mr. Gunnison whereby New Verde and Mr.
Gunnison agreed to extend the deadline for the balance owed to New Verde to June
30, 2010. In consideration of the extension, we agreed to pay interest at 6% per
annum on the balance owing to New Verde. We also agreed to grant New Verde and
Mr. Gunnison a non-exclusive worldwide license on the Technology (the
License). The License will only take effect in the event of the termination of
the employment agreement between Mr. Gunnison and the Company. New Verde and Mr.
Gunnison will not be permitted to assign or sub-license without our prior
written approval. On July 22, 2010 and July 7, 2011, we entered into a payment
extension with New Verde and Mr. Gunnison whereby New Verde and Mr. Gunnison
agreed to extend the deadline for the balance owed to New Verde to June 30, 2011
and June 30, 2012, respectively. In consideration of the extension, we agreed to
extend the accrual of interest at 6% per annum on the balance owing to New
Verde.
Our Scottsdale Facility is an industrial building of
approximately 6,825 square feet located in Scottsdale, Arizona. The Scottsdale
Facility is designed specifically for processing fly ash using our Cholla
Process, a closed-loop, modular, turn-key, leaching operation, with a capacity
of processing 6 tons of fly ash per day. We are in the process of leasing
additional equipment to increase our capacity.
We have yet to realize significant revenues from our Cholla
Process and Lixiviation Technology.

Golden Anvil
On October 19, 2010, we executed a Memorandum of Understanding
with Golden Anvil, SA de CV (Golden Anvil) with respect to the formation of a
proposed Joint Venture for the exploration, development and production of
mineral concessions owned by Golden Anvil in the State of Nayarit, Mexico (the
Golden Anvil Mine). The Memorandum of Understanding further defines the terms
of the proposed Joint Venture as contemplated in a Letter of Intent dated
October 21, 2009.
Previous, we loaned to Golden Anvil a total of $600,000 (the
Loan) to permit Golden Anvil to establish a new facility (the Processing
Plant) in Mexico for the purposes of concentrating ore mined from the Golden
Anvil Mine. We also toll process concentrates from the Golden Anvil Mine at our
Phoenix Plant under the terms of the Toll Processing Agreement.
Under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding, we formed a
Nevada corporation called Golden Anvil Inc. (the Joint Venture Company) and
planned to contribute funding to the Joint Venture Company totaling $3,000,000
(the Funding Amount), including the amount of the Loan. Upon our providing the
Funding Amount, Golden Anvil would transfer 100% of the Golden Anvil Mine and
the Processing Plant (the Golden Anvil Assets) to the Joint Venture Company.
The additional $2,400,000 is to be funded as follows:
|
(a)
|
$300,000 within 45 days of the date of the Memorandum of
Understanding (which has been paid); and
|
|
|
|
|
(b)
|
The balance of $2,100,000 within 180 days of the date
that Golden Anvil delivers to the Phoenix Plant the first 20 tons of
concentrate generated from the Processing Plant.
|
If we are able to complete the funding, of which there is no
assurance, and Golden Anvil transfers the assets in the Joint Venture Company,
the Joint Venture Company will be owned 50% by us and 50% by Golden Anvil.
In the event that we are unable to raise the Funding Amount in
the time required, we will forfeit our right to proceed with the Joint Venture
and the Loan will be payable in 12 months with interest at 18% from the dates of
advancement and secured by the Golden Anvil Assets.
The final terms of the Joint Venture will be set out in a
formal agreement currently being prepared by legal counsel for the parties.
There is no assurance that we will enter into a formal agreement.
The concentration plant has begun operations at a projected
production rate of 50 tons of head ore per day, resulting in 3 to 4 tons of
concentrate per week. The weekly concentrates are being processed and sold in
Mexico to pay for the Processing Plants operations.
Currently, we are working with the management of Golden Anvil
to move the Golden Anvil Assets to an entity on the Toronto Stock Exchange, from
which we would receive a percentage ownership via common stock from the
conversion of our Loan.
The Piute Valley Property
The Piute Valley Property is a potential gold project
consisting of the Smith Lease and the BLM Claims. We intend to focus our
operations on the Smith Lease and other leasable, patented mining property
adjacent to our Piute Valley Property.
The Smith Lease is a leased patented mineral claim covering
approximately 20.61 acres located in Clark County, Nevada. We acquired our
interest in the Smith Lease upon entering into a Restatement and Amendment to
Lease Agreement dated April 12, 2007 (the Lease Agreement) with Erline Y.
Smith, Trustee, Erline Y. Smith Trust and Lawana Hooper (collectively referred
to as the Lessors). Under the terms of the Lease Agreement, we were granted
the right to explore, and if proved feasible, develop the Smith Lease. These
rights were granted as a lease for a term of 20 years. As consideration for the
Smith Lease, we agreed to do the following:
|
(a)
|
pay $5,000 to the Lessors upon execution of the Lease
Agreement (which amount has been paid);
|
Page 6 of 35
|
(b)
|
pay an annual rental fee of $1,000 to the Lessors per
each five acre parcel of the Smith Lease (we have paid the annual rental
fee through August 13, 2011); and
|
|
|
|
|
(c)
|
pay an annual royalty equal to five percent of net
smelting profit from production. Net smelting profit is defined as the
net profit derived from the sale of metals and minerals produced from the
Smith Lease.
|
In addition to the Smith Lease, our BLM Claims consist of an
option to acquire a 7/8
th
undivided interest in 20 mineral claims,
covering approximately 3,200 acres located in Clark County, Nevada. Readers are
cautioned that eight of the BLM Claims appear to be invalid due to conflicts
with patented claims or more senior claims. We are investigating this further in
order to determine the exact extent of the conflict with these claims.
Under the terms of various option agreements entered into in
January 2007 (the Option Agreements) with certain optionors (the Optionors),
we are required to issue to the Optionors the following consideration in order
to maintain and exercise our option on the BLM Claims:
|
(a)
|
1,050,000 shares of common stock on execution of the
Option Agreements (which shares have been issued);
|
|
|
|
|
(b)
|
an additional 420,000 shares of common stock on the fifth
anniversary of the Option Agreements; and
|
|
|
|
|
(c)
|
an additional 210,000 shares of common stock on the tenth
anniversary of the Option Agreements.
|
Compliance with Government Regulation
Our activities are subject to extensive federal, state, and
local regulations in the United States. These statutes regulate the mining of
and exploration for mineral properties, and also the possible effects of such
activities upon the environment. Future legislation and regulations could cause
additional expense, capital expenditures, restrictions and delays in the
development of the Piute Valley Property, the extent of which cannot be
predicted. Our Piute Valley Property is comprised of patented and unpatented
mining claims located on federal land managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land
Management. Mining activities on the Piute Valley Property must be carried out
in accordance with a permit issued by the Bureau of Land Management.
Other regulatory requirements monitor the following:
|
(a)
|
Explosives and explosives handling.
|
|
(b)
|
Use and occupancy of site structures associated with
mining.
|
|
(c)
|
Hazardous materials and waste disposal.
|
|
(d)
|
State Historic site preservation.
|
|
(e)
|
Archaeological and paleontological finds associated with
mining.
|
|
(f)
|
Wildlife preservation.
|
The State of Nevada adopted the Mined Land Reclamation Act (the
Nevada Act) in 1989 that established design, operation, monitoring and closure
requirements for all mining facilities. The Nevada Act has increased the cost of
designing, operating, monitoring and closing new mining facilities and could
affect the cost of operating, monitoring and closing existing mining facilities.
The State of Nevada has also adopted reclamation regulations. The Nevada Act
also requires reclamation plans and permits for exploration projects that will
result in more than five acres of surface disturbance.
In the context of environmental permitting, we must comply with
known standards, existing laws and regulations that may entail greater or lesser
costs and delays, depending on the nature of the activity to be permitted and
how stringently the regulations are implemented by the permitting authority. We
are not presently aware of any specific material environmental constraints
affecting our property that would preclude the economic development or operation
of any specific property.
Page 7 of 35
If our property merits additional exploration or extraction
work, it is reasonable to expect that compliance with environmental regulations
will increase our costs. Such compliance may include feasibility studies on the
surface impact of our proposed operations, costs associated with minimizing
surface impact, water treatment and protection, reclamation activities,
including rehabilitation of various sites, on-going efforts at alleviating the
mining impact on wildlife and permits or bonds as may be required to ensure our
compliance with applicable regulations. It is possible that the costs and delays
associated with such compliance could become so prohibitive that we may decide
to not proceed with exploration, development, or mining operations on our
mineral property.
Competition
We are an exploration stage company. We compete with other
mineral resource exploration and development companies for financing and for the
acquisition of new mineral properties. Many of the mineral resource exploration
and development companies with whom we compete have greater financial and
technical resources than we do. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to
spend greater amounts on acquisitions of mineral properties of merit, on
exploration of their mineral properties and on development of their mineral
properties. In addition, they may be able to afford greater geological expertise
in the targeting and exploration of mineral properties. This competition could
result in competitors having mineral properties of greater quality and interest
to prospective investors who may finance additional exploration and development.
This competition could adversely impact our ability to finance further
exploration and to achieve the financing necessary for us to develop our mineral
properties.
We will also compete with other junior mineral exploration
companies for financing from a limited number of investors that are prepared to
make investments in junior mineral exploration companies. The presence of
competing junior mineral exploration companies may impact our ability to raise
additional capital in order to fund our exploration programs if investors are of
the view that investments in competitors are more attractive based on the merit
of the mineral properties under investigation and the price of the investment
offered to investors. We will also compete with other junior and senior mineral
companies for available resources, including, but not limited to, professional
geologists, camp staff, helicopter or float planes, mineral exploration supplies
and drill rigs.
Patents and Trademarks
We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patent or
trademark. We intend to seek patents with respect to the Lixiviation
Technology.
Research and Development Expenditures
During our fiscal year ended April 30, 2011, we spent
approximately $902,546 on research and development costs. In fiscal 2010, we
spent approximately $846,732 on research and development costs.
Employees
Other than our executive officers and directors, we do not have
any employees at the time of this Annual Report.
The following are some of the important factors that could
affect our financial performance or could cause actual results to differ
materially from estimates contained in our forward-looking statements. We may
encounter risks in addition to those described below. Additional risks and
uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem to be
immaterial, may also impair or adversely affect our business, financial
condition or results of operation.
If we do not obtain additional financing, we may not be able
to continue our operations at our Facilities, enter into the proposed Joint
Venture with Golden Anvil or complete our exploration and development programs
on the Piute Valley Property.
Page 8 of 35
As at April 30, 2011, we had cash on hand of $17,805 and
accumulated net loss of $11,286,974 since inception. Our plan of operation calls
for significant expenses in connection with the operation of our Phoenix
Facility and Scottsdale Facility, the entry into the proposed Joint Venture with
Golden Anvil and the exploration and development of our Piute Valley Property.
If we are unable to raise sufficient financing, there is a substantial risk that
we will be unable to meet payments of principal and interest to our creditors
and pay our consultants and employees. In addition, we will require substantial
financing in order to implement our plan of operation over the next twelve
months.
Our Board of Directors has approved the U.S. Private Placement
and the Foreign Private Placement offerings. To date, we have issued 4,300,000
units under the U.S. Private Placement and 8,450,000 units under the Foreign
Private Placement. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to
complete the sale of any additional securities under these private placement
offerings. Even if we complete the sale of all of the securities offered under
these private placement offerings, there is no assurance that this will satisfy
all of our working capital requirements for the next twelve months or that these
funds will be sufficient to complete our planned exploration and development
programs.
Because we are an exploration stage company, we face a high
risk of business failure.
We have commenced earning revenues, although minimal, from the
processing of ore at our Phoenix Facility. Our primary business activities have
involved the acquisition of the Piute Valley Property, the exploration and
development on the Piute Valley Property and the commencement of operations at
our Phoenix Facility and Scottsdale Facility. Potential investors should be
aware of the difficulties normally encountered by exploration stage companies
and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must
be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications
and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral
properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are
not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional
costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates.
Because we anticipate our operating expenses will increase
prior to our earning significant revenues, we may never achieve
profitability.
Prior to completion of our exploration stage, we anticipate
that we will incur increased operating expenses prior to realizing any
significant revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the
foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant
revenues from the operation of our Phoenix Facility and Scottsdale Facility or
the exploration and development of our mineral property and the production of
minerals thereon, if any, we will not be able to earn profits or continue
operations. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the
likelihood that we will prove successful, and we may not be able to ever
generate any operating revenues or achieve profitable operations. If we are
unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.
Because of the speculative nature of exploration of mining
properties, there is substantial risk that no commercially exploitable minerals
will be found and our business will fail.
The search for valuable minerals as a business is extremely
risky. We may not find commercially exploitable reserves of precious metals on
our mineral claims. Exploration for minerals is a speculative venture,
necessarily involving substantial risk. The expenditures to be made by us in the
upcoming exploration of the mineral claims may not result in the discovery of
commercial quantities of ore. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations
and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in
unsuccessful exploration efforts. In such a case, we would be unable to complete
our business plan.
Because of the inherent dangers involved in mineral
exploration, there is a risk that we may incur liability or damages if and when
we conduct mineral exploration activities.
The search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. As
a result, if and when we conduct exploration activities we may become subject to
liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards
against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. The
payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial
position.
Page 9 of 35
There is no assurance that our due diligence requirements
will be satisfied or that we will be able to reach a joint venture agreement
with Golden Anvil under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding.
There is no assurance that the proposed transaction with Golden
Anvil will be completed as planned or at all. If we decide to proceed with the
joint venture, there is no assurance that we will be able to reach an agreement
or that we will have sufficient financing to fund the proposed Joint
Venture.
Even if we discover commercial reserves of precious metals
on our Piute Valley Property, we may not be able to successfully obtain
commercial production.
Our Piute Valley Property does not contain any known bodies of
ore. If our exploration programs are successful in discovering ore of commercial
tonnage and grade, we will require additional funds in order to place those
mineral claims into commercial production. At this time, there is a risk that we
will not be able to obtain such financing as and when needed.
In order to maintain our rights to the Piute Valley
Property, we will be required to make annual filings with federal and state
regulatory agencies and/or be required to complete assessment work on those
properties.
In order to maintain our rights to the Piute Valley Property,
we will be required to make annual filings with federal and state regulatory
authorities. Currently the amount of these fees is minimal; however, these
maintenance fees are subject to adjustment. In addition, we may be required by
federal and/or state legislation or regulations to complete minimum annual
amounts of mineral exploration work on the Piute Valley Property. A failure by
us to meet the annual maintenance requirements under federal and state laws
could result in the loss of our rights to the Piute Valley Property.
As we undertake exploration of our Piute Valley Property, we
will be subject to compliance with government regulation that may increase the
anticipated cost of our exploration program.
There are several government regulations that materially
restrict the exploration of minerals. We may be required to obtain work permits,
post bonds and perform remediation work for any physical disturbance to the land
in order to comply with these laws. While our planned exploration program
budgets for regulatory compliance, there is a risk that new regulations could
increase our costs of doing business and prevent us from carrying out our
exploration program.
Certain work to be performed on our mineral projects may
require us to apply for permits from federal, state or local regulatory
bodies.
If our applications for permits from the relevant regulatory
bodies are denied, we may not be able to proceed with our exploration and
development programs as disclosed above, which could have a negative effect on
our business.
If we receive positive results from our exploration program
and we decide to pursue commercial production, we may be subject to an
environmental review process that may delay or prohibit commercial production.
If the results of our geological exploration program indicate
commercially exploitable reserves, and we decide to pursue commercial production
of our mineral property, we may be subject to an environmental review process
under environmental assessment legislation. Compliance with an environmental
review process may be costly and may delay commercial production. Furthermore,
there is the possibility that we would not be able to proceed with commercial
production upon completion of the environmental review process if government
authorities did not approve our mine or if the costs of compliance with
government regulation adversely affected the commercial viability of the
proposed mine.
If we are unable to hire and retain key personnel, we may
not be able to implement our business plan and our business will fail.
Our success will largely depend on our ability to hire highly
qualified personnel with experience in geological exploration. These individuals
may be in high demand and we may not be able to attract the staff we need. In
addition, we may not be able to afford the high salaries and fees demanded by
qualified personnel, or may lose such employees after they are hired. Our
failure to hire key personnel when needed could have a significant negative
effect on our business.

If we complete additional financings through the sale of
shares of our common stock, our existing stockholders will experience
dilution.
The most likely source of future financing presently available
to us is through the issuance of our common stock. The only other anticipated
alternative for the financing of further exploration would be the offering by us
of an interest in our properties to be earned by another party or parties
carrying out further exploration thereof, which is not presently contemplated.
Issuing shares of our common stock, for financing purposes or otherwise, will
dilute the interests of our existing stockholders.
Because our stock is a penny stock, stockholders will be
more limited in their ability to sell their stock.
Our common stock is considered to be a penny stock since it
does not qualify for one of the exemptions from the definition of penny stock
under Section 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act. Our common stock is a penny stock
because it meets one or more of the following conditions (i) the stock trades at
a price less than $5.00 per share; (ii) it is not traded on a recognized
national exchange; (iii) it is not quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market, or even if
so, has a price less than $5.00 per share; or (iv) is issued by a company that
has been in business less than three years with net tangible assets less than $5
million.
The principal result or effect of being designated a penny
stock is that securities broker-dealers participating in sales of our common
stock will be subject to the penny stock regulations set forth in Rules 15-2
through 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act. For example, Rule 15g-2
requires broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors
with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually
signed and dated written receipt of the document at least two business days
before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account.
Moreover, Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the
account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny
stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to (i) obtain
from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation,
investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine,
based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for
the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to
be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii)
provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which
the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a
signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it
accurately reflects the investor's financial situation, investment experience
and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more
difficult and time consuming for holders of our common stock to resell their
shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them in the market or
otherwise.

THE PIUTE VALLEY PROPERTY
Location, Climate, Infrastructure and Access
The Piute Valley Property consists of approximately 3,200 acres
of lakebed exploration project, with underlying hard rock potential, located
about 50 miles south of Las Vegas, Nevada.
Access is by vehicle from Las Vegas on Highway 95 to
Searchlight, Nevada then by secondary roads southward. The area is typically
desert climate with relatively high temperatures and low precipitation.
Vegetation consists mainly of desert shrubs and cactus. Sources of water would
be available from valley wells.
Geology
The Piute Valley Property contains extensive sedimentary
deposits, a part of an extensive basin filled with unconsolidated detritus and
bounded by outcropping Miocene volcanic and intrusive rocks. Previous geologic
work conducted from interpretation of satellite infrared imagery indicates the
claims are overlaying a major east-west Fracture Zone as wide as 5-8 miles.
Historically, gold mined from the area was produced principally from
quartz-sulphide-hematite veins trending in the same east-west direction.
Metallurgy and Mineralogy
The Piute Valley Property has a complex mineralogy that
requires a technical extension of conventional fire assay methods to identify
the precious metals of gold, silver and platinum group metals, and unique and
proprietary leaching and separation methods to extract the precious metals. The
gold particles occur as micron clusters in a highly refractory aluminum silicate
matrix that arrested the growth of the gold clusters and prevents their rapid
solutioning, whether in high temperature molten flux used in fire assay
(aluminum silicates melt at temperatures higher than conventional fire assay
temperatures) or in chemical digestion (cyanidation does not attack the aluminum
silicate coating)
.
We have developed the necessary technology to assay
the existence of the gold clusters and a process to extract, separate and purify
any precious metals.
History of Exploration
In 2007, we initiated a sampling program on the Piute Valley
Property to analyze the efficacy of conventional fire assay methodology for
determining the grade of precious metals in samples from the property.
-
January 2007
20 surface samples randomly collected from Section 2
Range 63E Township 29S were analyzed for Au at our Phoenix Facility. The
samples were collected from excavating 3-5 feet from the surface, screened to
-1/4, further milled to 200 mesh, fire assayed, and separated into 1000 g (~2
lb) bench leaching. We completed this Phase I study on the precious metals
recoverable composition and found high statistical variance in the results
from the fire assay of 15 g (1/2 assay ton) and 30 g (full assay ton) samples.
The 1000 g bench leaching, however, demonstrated consistent extraction results
using our Lixivation Technology.
-
February to July 2007
We initiated a 6 month large-scale sampling
program, Phase II study, designed to explore the precious metal values
throughout the 1,280 acre position of the Piute Valley Property. Three 5 ton
sampling efforts were conducted, each consisting of excavating 5-10 feet from
the surface, screened to - 1/4, further milled to 350 mesh, fire assayed, and
separated into 1000 g (~2 lb) bench leaching, 100 kg batch leaching, and 2000
kg pilot-scale leaching. We completed this Phase II study and our results
demonstrated consistent, scalable extraction economics from the 1000 g bench
leaching, 100 kg batch
Page 12 of 35
leaching, and 2000 kg pilot-scale
leaching. The results from the program indicated anomalous values of gold.
Exploration Activities Conducted on the Piute Valley
Property
Our current state of exploration involves a four phase
exploration program to be undertaken on the Piute Valley Property to assess its
potential to host gold and silver mineralization. The four phase program
consists of the following:

Our exploration program is intended to generate and prioritize
target areas for implementation of our Lixiviation Technology. It has come to
our attention that eight of our original mineral claims have been segregated by
the Bureau of Land Management. A substantial portion of our previous exploration
work on the Piute Valley Property was conducted on these invalid claims.
However, we believe that the mineralization is homogenous throughout the Piute
Valley and accordingly the results should be valid for the remaining claims.
Phase I Exploration Program
Work on Phase I of our exploration program was completed in
October, 2007 and consisted of chain of custody surface exploration and a
shallow drilling program to provide us with additional information on the
mineralization, concentration efficacy, extraction efficiency, and processing
economics of the former 2,560 acres portion of the Piute Valley Property.
Phase II Exploration Program
Work on Phase II of our exploration program was completed in
January, 2008. Phase II of our exploration program consisted of drilling at a
depth of up to 100 meters and was conducted in an area a half-mile wide that
extended two miles south of the area immediately south of the Quartette Mine.
All drilling was conducted on the Smith Lease.
During Phase II of our exploration program, we obtained nine
one-pound samples and nine 200 pound samples from an area of 100 acres located
immediately south of the Quartette Mine. The surface sample results were
analyzed at our mineral processing laboratory in Arizona. We also drilled five
rotary percussion holes at depths between 30 meters and 100 meters. Each 15
meters of drilling generated 200 pounds of cuttings for mineral processing.
The following results were received by us in connection with
Phase II of our exploration program.

Within the fiscal year ending April 30, 2008, we completed a
pilot-scale processing study of the alluvial ore obtained from the Phase II
portion of the exploration program. This processing study involved the gravity
and floatation concentration of the head ore performed by Met-Solve Laboratories
Inc. in Burnaby, British Columbia.
Phase III Exploration Program
We completed our pilot production test on the Smith Lease.
During the pilot production test, we built and operated a gravity concentration
circuit in an effort to create a high value concentrate material. The results
from our test were very promising, although inconclusive as far as the
commercial viability of the gravity concentration process. Consistent with prior
tests, we confirmed the existence of gold in the concentrates. However, the
concentrates were irregular in nature and could not be used as a method to scale
up production. We are currently in the process of having a third party
concentration technology evaluate the material to see if they can get
consistent, higher concentrate results.
Throughout our testing we found anomalous values of gold, that
if efficiently concentrated should prove to be commercially viable. Once we
prove out a viable method for concentration, we will scale up the process and
begin immediate refinement in our Phoenix Facility.
Additional testing on the property revealed significant quartz
structures, over 50 feet wide in some cases, between the 36 and 44 depth
levels. These structures appear to be typical of the historic gold bearing
material processed by local mining concerns in the past. The initial test
results indicate anomalous values of gold. These findings have caused us to
reevaluate our drilling plans and reapply for permits to drill out and map the
property. Additional funding is required to properly drilling the claims.
Phase IV Exploration Program
Phase IV of our exploration program will involve the test
diamond drilling of prime targets on the Smith Lease. The implementation of
Phase IV of our exploration requires the filing of a Notice with the Federal
Bureau of Land Management. We anticipate that this phase will cost approximately
$500,000. The completion of the Phase IV portion of our current exploration
program will depend on obtaining sufficient funds for the drilling and mineral
analysis.
Our planned exploration program is exploratory in nature and no
commercially extractable mineral reserves may ever be found.

REGISTERED HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK
As of July 26, 2011, there were 131 registered holders of
record of our common stock. We believe that a number of stockholders hold stock
on deposit with their brokers or investment bankers registered in the name of
stock depositories.
DIVIDENDS
We have neither declared nor paid any cash dividends on our
capital stock since our inception and do not contemplate paying cash dividends
in the foreseeable future. It is anticipated that earnings, if any, will be
retained for the operation of our business. Our board of directors will
determine future dividend declarations and payments, if any, in light of the
then-current conditions they deem relevant and in accordance with the Nevada
Revised Statutes.
There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or
in our bylaws which prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised
Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving
effect to the distribution of a dividend:
|
(a)
|
We would not be able to pay our debts as they become due
in the usual course of business; or
|
|
|
|
|
(b)
|
Our total assets would be less than the sum of our total
liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of
shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving
distributions.

AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
|
PLAN OF OPERATION
Our plan of operation over the next twelve months is to focus
our financial resources on commercializing the extraction of gold and other
precious metals from fly ash or other ash deposits using our Cholla Process and
Lixiviation Technology. We are in the process of leasing additional equipment to
increase our capacity of fly ash we can process daily using our Cholla Process, to concentrate
the treated material and to extract the gold from the concentrates.
Page 15 of 35
The leased equipment for our Phoenix Facility and Scottsdale
Facility will consist of:
1)
|
Upgrading our Phoenix Facility by installing another
filter press, bulk bag unloader, Helix screw auger, 30 HP compressor with
400 gallon receiver, 55 conveyor and a gravity concentration table to
increase the process rate.
|
|
|
2)
|
Upgrading our Scottsdale Facility by installing another
filter press and three wave concentration tables to increase the process
rate.
|
We also plan on implementing a drilling program of prime
targets on the Smith Lease. The implementation of this drilling program requires
the filing of a Plan of Operations with the Federal Bureau of Land Management
(BLM). We are completing the required Environmental Assessment and anticipate
approval from the BLM within 90 days. We anticipate that this drilling program
will cost approximately $500,000. The completion of this drilling program will
depend on obtaining sufficient funds for the drilling and mineral analysis. We
also will continue to seek strategic partnerships for the exploration of
additional Piute Valley Property.
In addition, we are working with the management of Golden Anvil
to move the Golden Anvil Assets to an entity on the Toronto Stock Exchange, from
which we would receive a percentage ownership via common stock from the
conversion of our $900,000 Loan.
As of April 30, 2011, we had cash in the amount of $17,805.
Accordingly, we do not have sufficient resources to meet the ongoing costs of
our Phoenix Facility and Scottsdale Facility, the anticipated costs of
completing our plan of operation for our Phoenix Facility and Scottsdale
Facility, the Smith Lease or meeting the administrative costs of operating our
business for the next twelve months. In order to complete our plan of operation,
we will be required to obtain substantial financing from the sale of our common
stock, of which there is no assurance.

Revenues
During the year ended April 30, 2011, we earned revenues of
$20,307. We are currently in the exploration stage of our business. We have
begun to process fly ash at our Phoenix Facility and Scottsdale Facility;
however, our initial income from the use of our Phoenix Facility and Scottsdale
Facility has been minimal. We can provide no assurances that we will earn
significant revenue from the processing of fly ash or that we will discover
commercially exploitable levels of mineral resources on our Piute Valley
Property, or if such resources are discovered, that we will be able to enter
into commercial production of our Piute Valley Property.

Our operating expenses for the year ended April 30, 2011
decreased as compared to the year ended April 30, 2010. The decrease in our
operating expenses primarily relates to a decrease in compensation expense for
issuances of common stock and stock options, and depreciation and amortization
expenses. Those amounts were partially offset by a one-time payment to reduce a
royalty in a license agreement.
Mineral exploration and evaluation expenses primarily consisted
of rent, processing extraction costs, consulting fees and labor expenses in
connection with our Phoenix Facility and Scottsdale Facility, as well as
subcontractor costs with our exploration program on the Smith Lease. The
additional mineral exploration and evaluation expenses in fiscal 2011 was due to
additional consulting fees and a one-time payment to reduce a royalty in a
license agreement.
In fiscal 2011, our general and administrative and general and
administrative related party expenses primarily consisted of: (i) stock based
expenses of $276,909; (ii) monthly consulting fees paid to our Chief Executive
Officer, Mr. Matheson and to our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Mitchell; and
(iii) legal and accounting fees in connection with meeting our reporting
requirements under the Exchange Act.
We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase
significantly as we implement our plan of operation for our Phoenix Facility,
Scottsdale Facility and our Piute Valley Property.

As at April 30, 2011, we had a working capital deficit of
$660,393 as compared to a working capital deficit of $522,778 as at our year
ended April 30, 2010. The increase in our a working capital deficit is primarily
due to increases in loans payable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and
accrued interest.
During the year ended April 30, 2011, we completed the
following equity financings:
(a)
|
On November 9, 2010 we issued 1,700,000 shares of common
stock for options exercised a $0.05 per share in satisfaction of
debt.
|
|
|
|
(b)
|
On January 18, 2011 we issued:
|
|
|
|
|
(i)
|
17,020,000 units to settle $851,000 in loans made to us
from a director;
|

Financing Requirements
Currently, we do not have sufficient financial resources to
complete our plan of operation for the next twelve months. As such, our ability
to complete our plan of operation is dependent upon our ability to obtain
additional financing in the near term.
Our Board of Directors has approved the following separate
private placement offerings:
(a)
|
U.S. Private Placement
: On October 29, 2010, our
Board of Directors approved a private placement offering of up to
20,000,000 units (the Units) at a price of $0.05 US per Unit, with each
Unit consisting of one share of our common stock and one share purchase
warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional share
of common stock exercisable for a period of one year at a price of $0.10
US per share. The offering will be made in the United States to persons
who are accredited investors as defined in Regulation D of the Securities
Act of 1933. To date, we have issued 4,300,000 units for cash proceeds of
$215,000 under this private placement offering.
|
|
|
(b)
|
Foreign Private Placement
: On November 4, 2010,
our Board of Directors approved a private placement offering of up to
20,000,000 units (the Units) at a price of $0.05 US per Unit, with each
Unit consisting of one share of our common stock and one share purchase
warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional share
of common stock exercisable for a period of one year at a price of $0.10
US per share. The offering will be made to persons who are not residents
of the United States and are otherwise not U.S Persons as that term is
defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933. To
date, we have issued 8,450,000 units for cash proceeds of $410,000 and to
settled indebtedness of $12,500.
|
There is no assurance that any additional securities will be
issued under these private placement offerings.
We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common
shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of
additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders. There is
no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our
equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our planned
mining, development and exploration activities.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have
or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial
condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of
operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is
material to stockholders.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We have identified certain accounting policies, described
below, that is most important to the portrayal of our current financial
condition and results of operations. Our significant accounting policies are
disclosed in Note 1 to our audited financial statements included in this Annual
Report.
Mineral Rights
We capitalize acquisition and option
costs of mineral property rights. The amount capitalized represents the fair
value at the time the mineral rights were acquired. The accumulated costs of
acquisition for properties that are developed to the stage of commercial
production will be amortized using the unit-of-production method.
Exploration Costs
Mineral exploration costs are
expensed as incurred.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for
share based payments in accordance with ASC 718,
Compensation - Stock
Compensation
, which requires all share-based payments to employees,
including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial
statements based on the grant date fair value of the award. In accordance with
ASC 718-10-30-9,
Measurement Objective Fair Value at Grant Date
, the
Company estimates the fair value of the award using a valuation technique. For
this purpose, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The
Company believes this model provides the best estimate of fair value due to its
ability to incorporate inputs that change over time, such as volatility and
interest rates, and to allow for actual exercise behavior of option holders.
Compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period which is
generally equal to the vesting period. Upon exercise, shares issued will be
newly issued shares from authorized common stock.
ASC 505, "Compensation-Stock Compensation", establishes
standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its
equity instruments to non employees for goods or services. Under this transition
method, stock compensation expense includes compensation expense for all
stock-based compensation awards granted on or after January 1, 2006, based on
the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC
505.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm
To The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Royal Mines and
Minerals Corp.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Royal Mines and Minerals Corp. (An Exploration Stage Company) (the “Company”) as of April 30, 2011, and the related statement of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year ended April 30, 2011 and for the period from inception (December 14, 2005) through April 30, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the financial statements of Royal Mines and Minerals Corp. (An Exploration Stage Company) for the year ended April 30, 2010 and from inception (December 14, 2005) to April 30, 2010. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us and our opinion, in so far as it relates to the amounts included in the year ended April 30, 2010 and from inception (July 13, 2005) to April 30, 2010, is based solely on the report of other auditors.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of
internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the companys internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Royal Mines and Minerals Corp.(An Exploration Stage Company) as of April 30, 2011, and the related statement of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year ended April 30, 2011 and for the period from inception (December 14, 2005) through April 30, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to
the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from
operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern. Managements plans in regard to these matters are also described
in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, HISTORY AND SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT POLICIES
|
Basis of Presentation
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Royal
Mines and Minerals Corps (the Company) fiscal year-end is April 30.
Description of Business
The
Company is considered an exploration stage company. The Company's primary
objectives are to 1) commercially extract and refine precious metals from its
own and others leachable assets, 2) use its lixiviation processes to convert
specific ore bodies and fly ash landfills/monofills into valuable assets, and 3)
joint venture, acquire and develop mining projects in North America. The Company
has not yet realized significant revenues from its primary objectives.
History
The Company was
incorporated on December 14, 2005 under the laws of the State of Nevada. On June
13, 2007, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, Royal Mines
Acquisition Corp., in the state of Nevada.
On October 5, 2007, Centrus Ventures
Inc. (Centrus) completed the acquisition of Royal Mines Inc. (Royal Mines).
The acquisition of Royal Mines was completed by way of a triangular merger
pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated September
24, 2007 (the First Merger Agreement) among Centrus, Royal Mines Acquisition
Corp. (Centrus Sub), a wholly owned subsidiary of Centrus, Royal Mines and
Kevin B. Epp, the former sole executive officer and director of Centrus. On
October 5, 2007, under the terms of the First Merger Agreement, Royal Mines was
merged with and into Centrus Sub, with Centrus Sub continuing as the surviving
corporation (the First Merger).
On October 6, 2007, a second merger was
completed pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated October 6, 2007 (the
Second Merger Agreement) between Centrus and its wholly owned subsidiary,
Centrus Sub, whereby Centrus Sub was merged with and into Centrus, with Centrus
continuing as the surviving corporation (the Second Merger). As part of the
Second Merger, Centrus changed its name from Centrus Ventures Inc. to Royal
Mines And Minerals Corp.(the Company). Other than the name change, no
amendments were made to the Articles of Incorporation.
Under the terms and conditions of the
First Merger Agreement, each share of Royal Mines common stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the First Merger was
converted into one share of Centrus common stock. As a result, a total of
32,183,326 shares of Centrus common stock were issued to former stockholders of
Royal Mines. In addition, Mr. Epp surrendered 23,500,000 shares of Centrus
common stock for cancellation in consideration of payment by Centrus of $0.001
per share for an aggregate consideration of $23,500. As a result, upon
completion of the First Merger, the former stockholders of Royal Mines owned
approximately 69.7% of the issued and outstanding common stock.
As such, Royal Mines is deemed to be
the acquiring enterprise for financial reporting purposes. All acquired assets
and liabilities of Centrus were recorded at fair value on the date of the
acquisition, as required by the purchase method of accounting, and the tangible
net liabilities were debited against equity of the Company. There are no
continuing operations of Centrus from the date of acquisition.
Going Concern
- As of April 30,
2011, the Company has incurred cumulative net losses of approximately
$11,286,974 from operations and has negative working capital of $660,393. The
Company is still in the exploration stage and has not fully commenced its mining
and minerals processing operations, raising substantial doubt about its ability
to continue as a going concern.
The ability of the Company to continue
as a going concern is dependent on the Company raising additional sources of
capital and the successful execution of the Companys objectives. The Company
will seek additional sources of capital through the issuance of debt or equity
financing, but there can be no assurance the Company

will be successful in accomplishing its
objectives. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to
the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that might be
necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Use of Estimates
- The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
- The
Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or
less to be a cash equivalent.
Property and Equipment
-
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally 3 to 10 years. The
cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures
for property betterments and renewals are capitalized. Upon sale or other
disposition of a depreciable asset, cost and accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the statement of
operations.
The Company periodically evaluates
whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the
estimated useful life of fixed assets or whether the remaining balance of fixed
assets should be evaluated for possible impairment. The Company uses an estimate
of the related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the fixed
assets in measuring their recoverability.
Mineral Property Rights
Costs
of acquiring mining properties are capitalized upon acquisition. Mine
development costs incurred either to develop new ore deposits, to expand the
capacity of mines, or to develop mine areas substantially in advance of current
production are also capitalized once proven and probable reserves exist and the
property is a commercially mineable property. Costs incurred to maintain current
production or to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged to operations.
Costs of abandoned projects are charged to operations upon abandonment. The
Company evaluates the carrying value of capitalized mining costs and related
property and equipment costs, to determine if these costs are in excess of their
recoverable amount whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Evaluation of the carrying value
of capitalized costs and any related property and equipment costs would be based
upon expected future cash flows and/or estimated salvage value in accordance
with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 360-10-35-15,
Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
.
Exploration Costs
Mineral
exploration costs are expensed as incurred.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews and evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when
events or changes in circumstances indicate the related carrying amounts may not
be recoverable. The assets are subject to impairment consideration under ASC
360-10-35-17,
Measurement of an Impairment Loss
, if events or
circumstances indicate that their carrying amount might not be recoverable. As
of January 31, 2011 exploration progress is on target with the Companys
exploration and evaluation plan and no events or circumstances have happened to
indicate the related carrying values of the properties may not be recoverable.
When the Company determines that an impairment analysis should be done, the
analysis will be performed using the rules of ASC 930-360-35,
Asset
Impairment
, and 360-10-15-3 through 15-5,
Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets

Various factors could impact our
ability to achieve forecasted production schedules. Additionally, commodity
prices, capital expenditure requirements and reclamation costs could differ from
the assumptions the Company may use in cash flow models used to assess
impairment. The ability to achieve the estimated quantities of recoverable
minerals from exploration stage mineral interests involves further risks in
addition to those factors applicable to mineral interests where proven and
probable reserves have been identified, due to the lower level of confidence
that the identified mineralized material can ultimately be mined
economically.
Material changes to any of these
factors or assumptions discussed above could result in future impairment charges
to operations.
Asset Retirement Obligation
-
The Company follows ASC 410,
Asset Retirement and Environmental
Obligations
, which requires that an asset retirement obligation (ARO)
associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset be recognized as a
liability in the period in which it is incurred and becomes determinable, with
an offsetting increase in the carrying amount of the associated asset. The cost
of the tangible asset, including the initially recognized ARO, is depleted, such
that the cost of the ARO is recognized over the useful life of the asset. The
ARO is recorded at fair value, and accretion expense is recognized over time as
the discounted liability is accreted to its expected settlement value. The fair
value of the ARO is measured using expected future cash flow, discounted at the
Companys credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. To date, no significant asset
retirement obligation exists. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
- Fair value accounting establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes
the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy
gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities (Level 1measurements) and the lowest priority to
unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value
hierarchy are described below:
|
Level 1
|
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are
accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or
liabilities;
|
|
Level 2
|
Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs
that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the
full term of the asset or liability; and
|
|
Level 3
|
Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that
are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable
(supported by little or no market activity).
|
The Companys financial instruments
consist of mineral property purchase obligations. These obligations are
classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as their fair value is
determined using interest rates which approximate market rates. The Company is
not exposed to significant interest or credit risk arising from these financial
instruments.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues
are recognized during the period in which the revenues are earned. Revenue from
licensing our technology is recognized over the term of the license agreement.
Costs and expenses are recognized during the period in which they are
incurred.
Research and Development
- All
research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
- The
Company follows ASC 260,
Earnings Per Share,
and ASC 480,
Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,
which establish standards for the
computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for basic and diluted
earnings per share for entities with publicly held common shares and potential
common stock issuances. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing
net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. In
computing diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of shares
outstanding is adjusted to reflect the effect of potentially dilutive
securities, such as stock options and warrants. Common stock equivalent shares
are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive. Common stock

were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the
effect would be antidilutive were 102,317,340 and 68,688,100, respectively.
Income Taxes
- The Company
accounts for its income taxes in accordance with ASC 740,
Income Taxes
,
which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax
rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment
date.
For acquired properties that do not
constitute a business as defined in ASC 805-10-55-4,
Definition of a
Business
, deferred income tax liability is recorded on GAAP basis over
income tax basis using statutory federal and state rates. The resulting
estimated future federal and state income tax liability associated with the
temporary difference between the acquisition consideration and the tax basis is
computed in accordance with ASC 740-10-25-51,
Acquired Temporary Differences
in Certain Purchase Transactions that are Not Accounted for as Business
Combinations
, and is reflected as an increase to the total purchase price
which is then applied to the underlying acquired assets in the absence of there
being a goodwill component associated with the acquisition transactions.
Expenses of Offering
- The
Company accounts for specific incremental costs directly related to a proposed
or actual offering of securities as a direct charge against the gross proceeds
of the offering.
Stock-Based Compensation
The
Company accounts for share based payments in accordance with ASC 718,
Compensation - Stock Compensation
, which requires all share-based
payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be
recognized in the financial statements based on the grant date fair value of the
award. In accordance with ASC 718-10-30-9,
Measurement Objective Fair Value
at Grant Date
, the Company estimates the fair value of the award using a
valuation technique. For this purpose, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option
pricing model. The Company believes this model provides the best estimate of
fair value due to its ability to incorporate inputs that change over time, such
as volatility and interest rates, and to allow for actual exercise behavior of
option holders. Compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service
period which is generally equal to the vesting period. Upon exercise, shares
issued will be newly issued shares from authorized common stock.
ASC 505, "Compensation-Stock
Compensation", establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in
which an entity exchanges its equity instruments to non employees for goods or
services. Under this transition method, stock compensation expense includes
compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted on or after
January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with
the provisions of ASC 505.
Reclassifications
The Company
reclassified $16,200 of Loans payable related party and $30,244 of Accrued
interest related party as of April 30, 2010 to Accrued liabilities to conform
to the current presentation. The reclassification had no effect on the Companys
financial condition, results of operation, or cash flows.
Recent Accounting Standards
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) that are adopted by the Company as of the
specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes that
the impact of recently issued standards did not or will not have a material
impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations, or cash flows
upon adoption.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06,
Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements
, which requires
reporting entities to make new disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring
fair value measurements including significant transfers into and out of
Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and information on purchases,
sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation
of Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2010-6 is effective for annual
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for Level 3
reconciliation disclosures which are effective for annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company does not have any assets or
liabilities classified as Level 3. The Company has adopted the Level 1 and
Level 2 amendments accordingly. As the update only pertained to
disclosures, it had no impact on the Companys financial position, results
of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09,
Subsequent Events (Topic 855), Amendment to Certain Recognition and
Disclosure Requirements
, to remove the requirement for SEC filers to
disclose the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events.
This change removes potential conflicts with current SEC guidance and
clarifies the intended scope of the reissuance disclosure provisions. The
update was effective upon its date of issuance, February 24, 2010, and the
Company has adopted the amendments accordingly. As the update only
pertained to disclosures, it had no impact on the Companys financial
position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.

LOAN RECEIVABLE
|
|
|
|
As of April 30, 2011 and April 30, 2010, the Company has
advanced $900,000 and $400,000, respectively, to Golden Anvil to permit
Golden Anvil to complete its refurbishment and relocation of its mineral
processing plant in Nayarit, Mexico. On November 19, 2010, the Company
entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Golden Anvil, covering the
total advanced by the Company to Golden Anvil. The loan bears no interest,
matures within 180 days of receiving the first 20 tons of concentrates,
which the Company has yet to receive, and is secured by Golden Anvils
equipment and mineral claims.
|
|
|
|
Under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding, we
formed a Nevada corporation called Golden Anvil Inc. (the Joint Venture
Company) and planned to contribute funding to the Joint Venture Company
totaling $3,000,000 (the Funding Amount), including the amount of the
Loan. Upon our providing the Funding Amount, Golden Anvil would transfer
100% of the Golden Anvil Mine and the Processing Plant (the Golden Anvil
Assets) to the Joint Venture Company. The additional $2,400,000 is to be
funded as follows:
|
|
(a)
|
$300,000 within 45 days of the date of the Memorandum of
Understanding (which has been paid); and
|
|
|
|
|
(b)
|
The balance of $2,100,000 within 180 days of the date
that Golden Anvil delivers to the Phoenix Plant the first 20 tons of
concentrate generated from the Processing Plant.
|
If we are able to complete the funding,
of which there is no assurance, and Golden Anvil transfers the assets in the
Joint Venture Company, the Joint Venture Company will be owned 50% by us and 50%
by Golden Anvil.
In the event that we are unable to
raise the Funding Amount in the time required, we will forfeit our right to
proceed with the Joint Venture and the Loan will be payable in 12 months with
interest at 18% from the dates of advancement and secured by the Golden Anvil
Assets. The Loan will be paid with the net profits of Golden Anvil. Any net
profit earned by Golden Anvil will be credited to the earned interest first.
Currently, we are working with the
management of Golden Anvil to move the Golden Anvil Assets to an entity on the
Toronto Stock Exchange or similar exchange, from which we would receive a
percentage ownership via common stock from the conversion of our Loan.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
|
|
|
|
On April 2, 2007 the Company entered into a Technology
and Asset Purchase Agreement (NVRM Agreement) with Robert H. Gunnison
and New Verde River Mining Co. Inc. (NVRM), whereby the Company acquired
equipment and the technology for lixiviation of metals from ore utilizing
thiourea stabilization (Intellectual Property). The equipment and
intellectual property were acquired with the issuance of 2,000,000 shares
of the Companys $0.10 per share common stock and a future cash payment of
$300,000, for a purchase price of $500,000. The purchase price was
allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their
respective fair values at the date of acquisition. The intellectual
property was valued at $200,000. For the year ended April 30, 2010, the
intellectual property was deemed impaired by $50,000 and expensed
accordingly. Based on estimated future cash flows expected to be generated
from the intellectual property, the Company does not believe the asset to
be impaired as of April 30, 2011.

MINERAL PROPERTIES
|
|
|
|
As of April 30, 2011 and April 30 2010, mineral
properties totaling $42,600 and $35,800, respectively, consist of
twenty-one (21) mining claims located south of Searchlight, Nevada in the
Piute Valley. On January 28, 2007, the Company entered into mineral option
agreements to acquire an 87.5% interest in twenty-four (24) mining claims
with the issuance of 1,050,000 shares of the Companys common stock on the
date of signing of the option agreement, with the provision that the
Company issue an additional 420,000 and 210,000 shares on the fifth
anniversary and tenth anniversary, respectively, of the signing of the
option agreement if the Company wishes to acquire legal interest to the
mining claims. The transaction was valued at an agreed upon price of
$10,500. Each mining claim is comprised of 160 acres. In August 2008 the
Company did not pay the renewal fee on four (4) of the mining claims after
confirming title to the claims were void due to not being properly located
and being subject to prior segregation.
|
|
|
|
On March 16, 2007 the Company entered into a lease
agreement of property with one (1) mining claim, for a term of twenty
years, for exploration and potential mining production on 20 acres in
Searchlight, Nevada. The Company paid a one-time signing bonus of $5,000
upon execution of the agreement and pays a $4,000 rental fee each August.
The Company will also pay an annual royalty equal to five (5) percent of
the net profit from any mining production on the property.
|
|
|
|
Mining claims are capitalized as tangible assets in
accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force abstract 04-02. Upon completion
of a bankable feasibility study, the claims will be amortized using the
unit-of-production method over the life of the claim. If the Company does
not continue with exploration after the completion of the feasibility
study, the claims will be expensed at that time.

FASB ASC 740 requires the reduction of deferred tax
assets by a valuation allowance, if, based on the weight of available
evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax
assets will not be realized. In the Companys opinion, it is uncertain
whether they will generate sufficient taxable income in the future to
fully utilize the net deferred tax asset. Accordingly, a valuation
allowance equal to the deferred tax asset has been recorded. The total
deferred tax asset is $2,284,743 which is calculated by multiplying a 35%
estimated tax rate by the cumulative net operating loss (NOL) adjusted for
the following items:

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an assessment of the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e)) as of April 30, 2011 (the Evaluation Date). This evaluation was
carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date.
Disclosure controls and procedures are those controls and
procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without
limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required
to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and
communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Managements Annual Report on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting
.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting for us, as such term is
defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal
control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management
and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of
published financial statements.
Internal control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in
reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts
and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of its
management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition
of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management conducted an
evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting, as of the Evaluation Date, based on the framework set forth in
Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on its assessment,
management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was
effective as of the Evaluation Date.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of
our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by our registered
public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission that permit us to provide only managements report in this annual
report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial
reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2011 that have
materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
Page 21 of 35
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Our management does not expect that its disclosure controls and
procedures, nor its internal control over financial reporting, will necessarily
prevent all fraud and material error. Our disclosure controls and procedures are
designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving its objectives and our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the
disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable, but not
absolute, assurance level. Further, the design of a control system must reflect
the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must
be considered relative to the costs.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no
assessment of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues
and instances of fraud, if any, will be detected. Inherent limitations include
the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that
breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally,
controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by
collusion of two or more people, or by management override of internal control.
The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain
assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance
that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential
future conditions. Over time the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate or the controls may become inadequate due to changes
in conditions.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Our board of directors does not maintain a
separately-designated standing audit committee. As a result, all of our
directors act as our audit committee. K. Ian Matheson, our Chief Executive
Officer and President, and Jason S. Mitchell, our Chief Financial Officer, each
meet the definition of an audit committee financial expert. Mr. Matheson and
Mr. Mitchell are not independent as they act as executive officers.
We presently do not have a compensation committee, nominating
committee, an executive committee of our board of directors, stock plan
committee or any other committees.

TERMS OF OFFICE
Our directors are elected to hold office until the next annual
meeting of the shareholders and until their respective successors have been
elected and qualified. Our executive officers are appointed by our board of
directors and hold office until removed by our board of directors or until their
successors are appointed.
CODE OF ETHICS
We adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our executive
officers and directors, which is a code of ethics as defined by applicable
rules of the SEC. Our Code of Ethics was attached as an exhibit to our Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007, filed on July
30, 2007. If we make any amendments to our Code of Ethics other than technical,
administrative, or other non-substantive amendments, or grant any waivers,
including implicit waivers, from a provision of our Code of Ethics to our Chief
Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or certain other finance executives,
we will disclose the nature of the amendment or waiver, its effective date and
to whom it applies in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC.
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE
ACT
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive
officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class

2010 Stock Incentive Plan
Effective December 7, 2009, our Board of Directors adopted our
2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2010 Plan"). The purpose of the 2010 Plan is to
enhance our long-term stockholder value by offering opportunities to our
directors, officers, employees and eligible consultants to acquire and maintain
stock ownership in us in order to give these persons the opportunity to
participate in our growth and success, and to encourage them to remain in our
service.
The 2010 Plan allows us to grant options to our officers,
directors and employees. In addition, we may grant options to individuals who
act as our consultants, so long as those consultants do not provide services
connected to the offer or sale of our securities in capital raising transactions
and do not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for our
securities.
A total of 10,000,000 shares of our common stock are available
for issuance under the 2010 Plan. However, at any time after January 31, 2010,
and from time to time thereafter, the Board may increase the maximum aggregate
number of shares of common stock that may be optioned and sold under the 2010
Plan, provided that the maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that
may be optioned and sold under the 2010 Plan shall at no time be greater than
12.5% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding.
The 2010 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options
and non-qualified stock options. Incentive stock options granted under the 2010
Plan are those intended to qualify as incentive stock options as defined under
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. However, in order to qualify as
incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, the
2010 Plan must be approved by our stockholders within 12 months of its adoption.
The 2010 Plan has not been approved by our stockholders. Non-qualified stock
options granted under the 2010 Plan are option grants that do not qualify as
incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Options granted under the 2010 Plan are non-transferable, other
than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
The 2010 Plan terminates on December 7, 2019, unless sooner
terminated by action of our Board of Directors. No option is exercisable by any
person after such expiration. If an award expires, terminates or is canceled,
the shares of our common stock not purchased thereunder shall again be available
for issuance under the 2010 Plan.
On December 10, 2009, we filed a Registration Statement on Form
S-8 (Registration Number 333-163643) under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, to register 10,000,000 shares of our common stock available for
issuance under the 2010 Plan.
On September 7, 2010, our Board of Directors determined that:
(a) no new options may be granted under the 2009 Plan; and (b) the 2010 Plan is
to be terminated once all outstanding options granted under the 2010 Plan have
been exercised, expired or otherwise terminated.
2011 Stock Option Plan
Effective September 7, 2010, we adopted the 2011 Stock
Incentive Plan (the 2011 Plan"). The 2011 Plan allows us to grant certain
options to our directors, officers, employees and eligible consultants. The
purpose of the 2011 Plan is to enhance our long-term stockholder value by
offering opportunities to our directors, officers, employees and eligible
consultants to acquire and maintain stock ownership in us in order to give these
persons the opportunity to participate in our growth and success, and to
encourage them to remain in our service.
The 2011 Plan allows us to grant options to our officers,
directors and employees. In addition, we may grant options to individuals who
act as our consultants, so long as those consultants do not provide services
connected to the offer or sale of our securities in capital raising transactions
and do not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for our
securities.
A total of 16,700,000 shares of our common stock are available
for issuance under the 2011 Plan. We may increase the maximum aggregate number
of shares that may be optioned and sold under the 2011 Plan provided the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be
optioned and sold under the 2011 Plan shall at no time be greater than 15% of
the total number of shares of common stock outstanding.
Page 27 of 35
The 2011 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options
and non-qualified stock options. Incentive stock options granted under the 2011
Plan are those intended to qualify as incentive stock options as defined under
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. However, in order to qualify as
incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, the
2011 Plan must be approved by our stockholders within 12 months of its adoption.
The 2011 Plan has not been approved by our stockholders. Non-qualified stock
options granted under the 2011 Plan are option grants that do not qualify as
incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Options granted under the 2011 Plan are non-transferable, other
than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
The 2011 Plan terminates on September 7, 2020, unless sooner
terminated by action of our Board of Directors. No option is exercisable by any
person after such expiration. If an award expires, terminates or is canceled,
the shares of our common stock not purchased thereunder shall again be available
for issuance under the 2011 Plan.

Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security
includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract,
arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i)
voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of
shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or
direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be
beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share
the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition,
shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has
the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option)
within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In
computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares
outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned
by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition
rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as
shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the persons actual
ownership or voting power with respect to the number of common shares
actually outstanding on July 29, 2010. As of July 29, 2011, there were
171,440,352 common shares issued and outstanding.

Crown Holdings LLC, a company controlled by Mr. Matheson and Mr. Mitchell,
for cash proceeds of $150,000.
|
|

(c)

outstanding indebtedness of $60,000; and (v) 500,000 units to settle
outstanding indebtedness of $25,000.
|

|
(e)
|
On March 28, 2011, we issued a total of 900,000 shares of
our common stock as compensatory stock awards to each of Mr. Mitchell and
Mr. Boyko.
|
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board
inter-dealer quotation system, which does not have director independence
requirements. Under NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2), a director is not considered to be
independent if he or she is also an executive officer or employee of the
corporation. All of our directors are considered executive officers under Rule
3b-7 of the Exchange Act. Therefore, none of our directors are independent.
As a result of our limited operating history and minimal
resources, our management believes that it will have difficulty in attracting
independent directors. In addition, we would likely be required to obtain
directors and officers insurance coverage in order to attract and retain
independent directors. Our management believes that the costs associated with
maintaining such insurance is prohibitive at this time.
