SOUTH AMERICAN GOLD CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(formerly Grosvenor Explorations Inc.)
(Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2011
(Unaudited)
1.
ORGANIZATION
The Company, South American Gold Corp. (formerly Grosvenor Explorations Inc.), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 25, 2005 with the authorized capital stock of 75,000,000 shares at $0.001 par value. In January 2008, a majority of the shareholders agreed to an increase in the authorized capital stock to 450,000,000 shares at $0.001 par value.
The Company was organized for the purpose of acquiring and developing mineral properties. The Company has not established the existence of a commercially minable ore deposit and therefore is considered to be in the exploration stage.
On September 8, 2010, the Company incorporated South American Gold Corp., as a subsidiary entity. On October 11, 2010, the company merged with this subsidiary for the sole purpose of effecting a name change. On the effective date of the merger, the company’s name changed to South American Gold Corp.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in The United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for financial information.
Activities during the exploration stage include search for mineral deposits. As an exploration stage enterprise, our ability to address our liquidity issues by obtaining additional equity or debt financing is imperative. We have yet to generate a positive internal cash flow, and until we achieve the production stage, we are dependent upon debt and equity financing to fund our current operating activities.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. The information for the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2011 was derived from audited financial statements. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ending December 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending June 30, 2012.
Principles of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.
In December 2007, the FASB issued a new standard which established the accounting for and reporting of non-controlling interest in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries. Certain provisions of this standard indicate, among other things, that non-controlling interest be treated as a separate component of equity. Increases and decreases in the parent's ownership interest that leave control intact are treated as equity transactions, rather than as step acquisitions or gains or losses on purchases or sales. Losses of a partially owned consolidated subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interest even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the cash flow statements, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Revenue and Cost Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue based on FASB Account Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605 “Revenue Recognition”. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenues from service contracts are recognized on a monthly, quarterly or semiannual basis as specified in the terms of a given contract. Revenues from additional services are recognized currently as the work is performed.
Accounting Method
The Company recognizes income and expenses based on the accrual method of accounting.
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260 “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares
assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excluded all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Evaluation of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews and evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The assets are subject to impairment consideration under ASC 360-10-35-17 if events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts might not be recoverable. When the Company determines that an impairment analysis should be done, the analysis will be performed using rules of ASC 930-360-35, Asset Impairment, and 360-10-15-3 through 15-5, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are translated to U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters.” Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.
The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect, when the differences are expected to be reversed. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded, when it is more likely than not, that such tax benefits will not be realized.
On December 31, 2011, the Company had a net operating loss carry forward of
$
3,332,405 for income tax purposes. The tax benefit of approximately
$1.1 million
from the loss carry forward has been fully offset by a valuation reserve because the future tax benefit is undeterminable since the Company is unable to establish a predictable projection of operating profits for future years. The losses begin to expire in 2025.
Advertising and Market Development
The company expenses advertising and market development costs as incurred.
Goodwill
Goodwill consists of the excess of cost of acquired enterprises over the sum of the amounts assigned to identifiable assets acquired less liabilities assumed. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually at the beginning of the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise, on a reporting unit level. We compare our fair value, which is determined utilizing both a market value method and discounted projected future cash flows, to our carrying value for the purpose of identifying impairment. Our annual impairment review requires extensive use of accounting judgment and financial estimates.
Mineral Property Acquisition and Exploration Costs
Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized as tangible assets when purchased. At the end of each fiscal quarter end, the Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment. If proven and probable reserves are established for a property and it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed, costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)
Estimated future removal and site restoration costs, when determinable are provided over the life of proven reserves on a units-of-production basis. Costs, which include production equipment removal and environmental remediation, are estimated each period by management based on current regulations, actual expenses incurred, and technology and industry standards. Any charge is included in exploration expense or the provision for depletion and depreciation during the period and the actual restoration expenditures are charged to the accumulated provision amounts as incurred. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties and
incurred only acquisition and exploration costs.
Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, according to the usual industry standards for the stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.
Environmental Requirements
At the report date environmental requirements related to the mineral claim acquired are unknown and therefore any estimate of any future cost cannot be made.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.
Stock-based compensation
Effective 9 November 2010, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employees’ requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). The Company adopted ASC 718 using the modified prospective method, which requires the Company to record compensation expense over the vesting period for all awards granted after the date of adoption, and for the unvested portion of
previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption. Accordingly, financial statements for the periods prior to 9 November 2010 have not been restated to reflect the fair value method of expensing share-based compensation. Adoption of ASC 718 does not change the way the Company accounts for share-based payments to non-employees, with guidance provided by ASC 505-50, “ Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”.
International Financial Reporting Standards
In November 2008, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued for comment a proposed roadmap regarding potential use of financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Under the proposed roadmap, the Company would be required to prepare financial statements in accordance with IFRS in fiscal year 2014, including comparative information also prepared under IFRS for fiscal 2013 and 2012. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of IFRS on its financial statements and will continue to follow the proposed roadmap for future developments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not expect that the adoption of other recent accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.
3. MINERAL PROPERTIES
In February 2008, the Company purchased the Kon Tum Gold Claim located in Vietnam for $5,000. The Company had not established the existence of a commercially minable ore deposit on the Kon Tum Gold Claim. The claim has no expiry date and only if the Company decides to abandon them will it no longer have an interest in the minerals thereon. The acquisition costs have been impaired and expensed because there has been no exploration activity nor have there been any reserves established and we cannot currently project any future cash flows or salvage value for the coming years and the acquisition costs might not be recoverable. The company has elected to not pursue further activities on these claims nor maintain
ownership.
GB Project
On December 14, 2011 the company signed an agreement to purchase one unpatented mining claim and lease nine unpatented mining claims in Yavapai County, Arizona covering approximately two hundred acres. The purchased unpatented claims were for one thousand dollars and the vendor retained a two percent net smelter return from any future production. The leased claims are for a period of fifteen (15) years; any production subject to a two percent net smelter return to the vendor, and annual lease payments of $750.
Lucky Boy Silver Project
In December 2011 the company staked five unpatented mining claims in Hawthorne, Nevada covering approximately one hundred acres.
4. BUSINESS ACQUISITION
On April 25, 2011, the “Company entered into an Amendment No.1 to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated February 25, 2011 with Minera Kata S.A., a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Panama, in order to acquire a twenty-five percent (25%) of the outstanding capital stock of Kata Enterprises, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Panama (“Kata”), and to revise the terms of the options under which the Company has the ability to acquire the remaining seventy-five percent (75%) of the outstanding capital stock of Kata Enterprises, Inc. In November 2010, Kata entered into an agreement to acquire, through its subsidiary, an eighty-five percent (85%) interest in
certain mining concessions located in the Nariño province of Colombia, but Kata has not successfully closed that transaction as of this time. Kata is an entity that has nominal operations and was recently incorporated. The closing of the transaction is conditioned upon the transferor of the Mining Concessions receiving acceptance of an application for a concession contract, executing a concession contract with Ingeominas (the entity authorized by the Colombian Ministry of Mines and Energy to grant mining concession contracts), registration of that contract at the National Mining Registry and securing the requisite approvals and governmental consents for the transfer of the Mining Concessions to Kata’s subsidiary.

In the event that Kata fails to close the transaction by February 25, 2012 and to have the Mining Concessions registered in the National Mining Registry of Colombia in favor of Kata, the Agreement provides that Seller will be obligated to deliver to the Company one-hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding capital stock of Kata without any additional consideration being paid. In such event, the Company will not have acquired any direct or indirect interest in the Mining Concessions and not be entitled to recover any of its exploration expenditures of other expenses incurred in connection with acquiring the 25% Stake, other than its entitlement, indirectly through its subsidiary, to the return of the $500,000 paid to
Seller on closing of the Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment, the Company paid the Seller an additional $50,000 on the Effective Date, in addition to the $500,000 paid in cash at the closing of the Agreement, for the acquisition of the 25% Stake.
The Company follows ASC 810-10 and fully consolidates the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of Kata Enterprises, Inc. As a condition of stock purchase agreement, members of the board of directors of each of the acquired companies was required to tender their resignation with the Company subsequently appointing the new members of the board of directors. This effectively provided the Company management control of Kata Enterprises, Inc. as of February 25, 2011, resulting in a consolidation of the financial statements of Kata Enterprises, Inc.
The purchase price of $550,000 for 25% of the shares of Kata Enterprises, Inc. was allocated to the fair values of the assets and liabilities of Kata Enterprises, Inc., and non-controlling interest, as follows:

On November 19, 2011, Kata Enterprises S.A.S. acquired the remaining 15% ownership of Minera Narino S.A.S., for $785. Kata Enterprises S.A.S. assumed liabilities of $4,012 in the acquisition, resulting in Goodwill of $4,797. Due to lack of foreseeable revenues, the Company recorded a related impairment loss on this Goodwill of $4,797 in its statement of operations, as of December 31, 2011.
Also on November 19, 2011, the Company acquired the remaining 75% ownership of Kata Enterprises Inc. through payment of $10,000. The purchase price of $10,000 was allocated as follows:

Noncontrolling interest - $603.082; Net assets of Kata Enterprises Inc. (75%) - $221,201; Gain on bargain purchase - $814,283.
The fair values assigned to the noncontrolling interest and net assets of Kata Enterprises Inc. are provisional amounts due to the difficulty in obtaining all necessary records related to the noncontrolling interests acquired, through the date of acquisition.
5. GOODWILL
Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually at the beginning of the fourth fiscal quarter, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. During fiscal year 2011, we acquired goodwill totaling approximately $1.28 million in connection with the acquisition of Kata Enterprises, Inc. We compared our fair value, utilizing both a market value method and discounted projected future cash flows, to our carrying value for the purpose of identifying impairment. During fiscal year 2011 the Company recorded an impairment loss on goodwill of approximately $1.28 million that relate primarily to indeterminate future cash flow related to the acquisition.
In its acquisition of the remaining 15% of Minera Narino S.A.S., the Company recorded Goodwill in the amount of $4,797. This amount was impaired as of December 31, 2011, due to lack of foreseeable revenues.
6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As of December 31, 2011, the current officers are owed a total of
$25,385
for
management fees and expenses which are recorded in accounts payable on the balance sheet. Officers-directors also have made contributions to capital of $39,000, since inception, in the form of expenses paid for the Company.
7. CAPITAL STOCK
During January 2006, the Company completed a private placement of post-split 28,000,000 common shares for $4,000 to its directors and a private placement of post-split 7,350,000 common shares for $52,450.
On February 5, 2007, the shareholders approved a forward stock split at the ratio of seven shares for one share of the Company’s common stock. The forward split does not affect the Company’s authorized number of shares of common stock as set forth in its Articles of Incorporation and therefore such authorized number of shares after the forward split was 75,000,000.
The authorized share capital was increased from 75,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001 to 450,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001.
On January 18, 2008, the Company has a forward split of its common shares on the basis of 6 new shares for each one old share held. On August 25, 2009, certain creditors of the Company accepted 2,511,890 common shares at a price of $0.05 per share in consideration of amounts owed to them of $125,595. With this split and the shares issued for debt, there are now issued and outstanding 214,611,890 common shares outstanding with a par value of $0.001 per share. The post-split shares have been shown from inception.

On February 8, 2011, the former Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer agreed to allow the Company to cancel 141,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. No consideration was provided by the Company for the cancellation of shares.
On March 30, 2011, the Company completed a private placement of 5,800,000 Units at a purchase price of $0.25 per Unit to an aggregate of eight non-U.S. persons. The aggregate purchase price we received from the sale of these Units was $1,450,000 of which $1,450,000 was received by the closing date. Each unit is comprised of one (1) share of common stock, par value $0.001, and one (1) common stock purchase warrant to purchase one (1) share of our common stock, exercisable commencing six months after the date of issuance and terminating one (1) year from the closing date of the Private Placement. The exercise price for the Warrant is priced at $0.50 per share. As a result, we sold in the initial closing of the Private
Placement a total of 5,800,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 5,800,000 shares of common stock. The Units were not sold through an underwriter and accordingly, there were no underwriting discounts or commissions involved. No registration rights were granted to the any of the Investors. On April 8, 2011 5,800,000 common shares were issued pursuant to this private placement. As of September 30, 2011, all share purchase warrants in this series remain outstanding.

8. GOING CONCERN
Our financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. As a result, they do not include adjustments that would be necessary if we were unable to continue as a going concern and would therefore be obligated to realize assets and discharge our liabilities other than in the normal course of operations. The Company does not have sufficient working capital to service its debt or for its planned activity, which raises 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’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan.
Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “will,” “plan,” “future,” “continue,” and other expressions that are predictions of or indicate future events and trends and that do not relate to historical matters identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based largely on our
expectations or forecasts of future events, can be affected by inaccurate assumptions, and are subject to various business risks and known and unknown uncertainties, a number of which are beyond our control. Therefore, actual results could differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this document, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. A wide variety of factors could cause or contribute to such differences and could adversely impact revenues, profitability, cash flows and capital needs. There can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this document will, in fact, transpire or prove to be
accurate.
Important factors that may cause the actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements, projections or other expectations include, but are not limited to, the following:
●
|
risk that we will not be able to remediate identified material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting;
|
●
|
risks related to failure to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis and on acceptable terms for our exploration and development projects and any contemplated acquisitions;
|
●
|
risk that we are unable to meet our required mineral lease payments and work commitments which results in us losing our mineral property interests
|
●
|
risk that we are unable to comply with government regulatory requirements on mineral property interests due to limited funding and/or personnel availability, or changing government regulatory requirements;
|
●
|
risk that changes in the applicable government regulation will adverse impact potential mining and development of mining operations;
|
●
|
risk that changes to Colombian mining laws, which include a comprehensive overhaul of rules applicable to companies engaged in mining activities, will adversely impact our contemplated operations in Colombia;
|
●
|
risk that we cannot attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel, particularly employees, consultants and contractors for our operations in Colombia or North America;
|
●
|
risks and uncertainties relating to the interpretation of drill results, the geology, grade and continuity of mineral deposits;
|
●
|
results of initial feasibility, pre-feasibility and feasibility studies, and the possibility that future exploration, development or mining results will not be consistent with our expectations;
|
●
|
mining and development risks, including risks related to accidents, equipment breakdowns, labor disputes or other unanticipated difficulties with or interruptions in production;
|
●
|
the potential for delays in exploration or development activities or the completion of feasibility studies;
|
●
|
risks related to the inherent uncertainty of production and cost estimates and the potential for unexpected costs and expenses;
|
●
|
risks related to commodity price fluctuations;
|
●
|
the uncertainty of profitability based upon our history of losses;
|

The forgoing list is not an exhaustive list of the factors that may affect any of our forward-looking statements. These and other factors should be considered carefully and readers should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.
As used in this Quarterly Report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” and “Company” mean South American Gold Corp., unless otherwise indicated.
Overview
We were incorporated in the state of Nevada on March 25, 2005 and previously operated under the name Grosvenor Explorations Inc. Effective October 18, 2010, we changed our name to “South American Gold Corp.” pursuant to a parent/subsidiary merger with our wholly-owned non-operating subsidiary, South American Gold Corp., which was established for the purpose of giving effect to this name change. Our current focus is the acquisition, exploration, and potential development of mining properties.
We previously acquired mineral claims situated in British Columbia, Canada, but allowed these mineral claims to lapse during the year ended June 30, 2008. As a result, we no longer have any rights to these mineral claims in British Columbia, Canada. In January 2008, we entered into an assignment agreement where we were assigned a 100% interest in a 7-unit claim block containing 92.8 hectares located in Vietnam, referred to herein as the “Kon Tum Gold Claim.” The Kon Tum Gold Claim was staked and recorded with the Mineral Resources Department of Energy and Mineral Resources of the government of the Republic of Vietnam. We did not conduct any exploration work on the Kon Tum Gold Claim due to economic
trends and conditions that led management to believe that other geographic regions, including Colombia, would offer us a more promising opportunity to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel and access the equipment necessary for exploration and potential development of mining properties.
We had been monitoring certain changes that the Colombian government is contemplating to its administration of the mining sector, which may include the establishment of new government agencies and regulations which may not be established or known until July 2012 and potentially adversely impact us by resulting in further delays in implementing plans and increased compliance costs. For reasons which included the foregoing, we elected to expand our focus to North America and we are actively considering projects in North America in addition to Colombia. We also abandoned our plan to acquire an interest in certain mining and mineral rights underlying a prospective concession contact located in the
Nariño province of Colombia. These efforts resulted in us entering into a Mining Lease and Agreement to lease nine unpatented mining claims situated in Yavapai County, Arizona and purchasing one unpatented mining claim situated in Yavapai County and staking five unpatented mining claims in the western Nevada during the quarter ending December 31, 2011.
We are considered an exploration or exploratory stage company because our business plan is to engage in the examination, investigation and exploration of land that we believe may contain valuable minerals, for the purpose of discovering the presence of ore, if any, and its extent. We have not acquired any mineral property interests at the present and there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit will exist on any of the properties underlying any mineral property interests that we may acquire in the future. In order to make any final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility of placing any exploration project into production, a great deal of exploration is required. We possess no known
reserves of any type of mineral, have not discovered an economically viable mineral deposit and there is no assurance that we will ever discover one. If we cannot acquire or locate mineral deposits, or if it is not economical to recover any mineral deposits that we do find, our business and operations will be materially and adversely affected and we may have to cease operations.
Substantially all of our assets will be put into commercializing mining rights and mineral claims located within a limited geographical area. Accordingly, any adverse circumstances that affect these areas would affect us and your entire investment in shares of our common stock. If any adverse circumstances were to arise, we would need to consider alternatives, both in terms of our prospective operations and for the financing of our activities. Management cannot provide assurance that we will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash-flow positive, or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we will continue to experience liquidity problems and
management expects that we will need to curtail operations, liquidate assets, seek additional capital on less favorable terms and/or pursue other remedial measures including ceasing operations. We may also consider entering into a joint venture arrangement to provide the required funding to acquire and explore any mineral property interests. We have not undertaken any efforts to locate a joint venture participant. Even if we determine to pursue a joint venture participant, there is no assurance that any third party would enter into a joint venture agreement with us in order to fund the acquisition and exploration of mineral property interests. If we enter into a joint venture arrangement, we would likely have to assign a percentage of any mineral property interest we may hold to the joint venture participant.
Agreement with Minera Kata S.A. for Acquisition of Equity Interest in Kata Enterprises Inc.
On November 28, 2011, we entered into with Minera Kata S.A., a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Panama (“Seller”), an Amendment No. 2 (the “ Second Amendment”) to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated February 25, 2011, as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 dated April 25, 2011 (the “First Amendment” and collectively, the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, we acquired from Seller twenty-five percent (25%) of the outstanding capital stock (the “25% Stake”) of Kata Enterprises, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Panama (“Kata”), and was granted certain options
under which we could increase its ownership interest to acquire the remaining seventy-five percent (75%) of the outstanding capital stock of Kata. Kata Enterprises S.A.S., a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Colombia, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Kata and owns eighty-five percent (85%) of the outstanding capital stock of Minera Nariño S.A.S., a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Colombia (“Minera Nariño”).
In November 2010, Minera Nariño entered into an agreement to acquire certain mining concessions located in the Nariño province of Colombia (the “Mining Concessions”), but had not successfully closed that transaction as of this time (the “Kata Transaction”). Our understanding is that closing of the Kata Transaction was conditioned upon the transferor of the Mining Concessions receiving acceptance of the IKE-10421X concession application, executing a concession contract with Ingeominas (the entity authorized by the Colombian Ministry of Mines and Energy to grant mining concession contracts), registration of that contract at the National Mining Registry and securing the
requisite approvals and governmental consents for the transfer of the Mining Concessions to Minera Nariño.
The Agreement initially provided that Seller would be obligated to deliver to us one-hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding capital stock of Kata (the “100% Stake”) without any additional consideration being paid should Minera Nariño fails to close the Kata Transaction and thus fails by February 25, 2012 to have the Mining Concessions registered in the National Mining Registry of Colombia in favor of Minera Nariño. The Second Amendment modified the Agreement to extend the obligation of Seller to deliver the 100% Stake to include any termination of the agreement underlying the Kata Transaction and required us to pay Seller consideration of $10,000 should any of the conditions
required for Seller to deliver to us the 100% Stake occur. Except for the foregoing changes, there were no other changes made by the Second Amendment to the Agreement.
Termination Agreement
We had been monitoring certain changes that the Colombian government is contemplating to its administration of the mining sector, which may include the establishment of new government agencies
and regulations which may not be established or known until July 2012 and potentially adversely impact us by resulting in further delays in implementing plans and increased compliance costs. When the Agreement was initially entered into, the parties did not anticipate that an extended period of time would be required to secure approval of the IKE-10421X concession application. We received no assurances that the approval of the IKE-10421X concession application is imminent. For the foregoing reasons, we determined that it would be in its best interest to abandon our plan to acquire an interest in the mining and mineral rights underlying any prospective concession contact to be granted
on the basis of the IKE-10421X concession application if Seller would return the $500,000 cash payment it received from us when the Agreement was entered into on February 25, 2011 (the “Closing Payment”).
On November 18, 2011, Minera Nariño entered into a termination and transaction agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) which resulted in the termination of the agreement under which it had a right to acquire the Mining Concession which were the subject of the IKE-10421 concession application should the Kata Transaction have successfully closed. Pursuant to the terms of the Termination Agreement, the Closing Payment was transferred to Kata Enterprises S.A.S. Also on November 18, 2011, Kata Enterprises S.A.S. entered into an agreement and acquired in exchange for approximately $750 USD the remaining fifteen percent (15%) of the remaining outstanding capital stock of
Minera Nariño, which resulted in the acquisition by Kata Enterprises S.A.S. of all of the outstanding stock of Minera Nariño. These agreements resulted in us recovering through an indirect subsidiary the Closing Payment
Exploration Activities- Colombia and Latin America
We have conducted reconnaissance exploration on various locations in the Nariño Mining district primarily to develop better understanding of the geology of the district and to consider a potential acquisition in the area, which would be contingent on securing sufficient financing and regulatory approvals, neither of which can be assured. We have considered and evaluated projects in Colombia outside of the Nariño district and in Bolivia and plan to continue to do the same subject to same financing and regulatory conditions. We anticipate that general exploration activities required to identify and evaluate new prospects would require additional consulting, travel and sampling expense of $50,000 in the
current fiscal year. Administrative costs related to our Colombian subsidiaries we estimate at $50,000 for the current year.
North American Exploration and Acquisition Activities
We have commenced regular activities to locate and evaluate potential projects in North America. Initial projects under review have been in Mexico (Zactaecas region) and the United States (principally projects in Nevada, Arizona and Montana). These activities included site visits to the lease mining claims in Arizona and the Lucky Boy Silver project in Nevada, which are discussed below. These efforts include reviewing historical literature, contacting property owners, compiling and reviewing information on properties, and where merited site visits and negotiations with property owners.
GB Claims – Arizona
During the reporting period and consistent with our plan to extend the focus of our exploration activities to North America, we entered into an agreement to lease certain unpatented mining claims in the historical Black Rock Mining District of Yavapai County of Arizona.
Mining and Lease Agreement
On December 14, 2011, we entered into a Mining Lease and Agreement (the “Lease”) with Marilyn Bashore (“Bashore”) to lease nine unpatented mining claims situated in Yavapai County, Arizona (the “Property”).
The Lease granted us the exclusive right to prospect, explore, develop and mine the Property for gold, silver and other minerals. Under the terms of the Lease, we paid Bashore an initial payment of $500 and are required to pay Bashore an annual lease payment of $750 plus a 2% net smelter return on any production. We are required under the terms of the Lease to perform a minimum of $900 in annual assessment work on the Property. The Lease is for a fifteen (15) year term, but shall continue into perpetuity to the extent that minerals are produced and continue to be produced on the Property.
Also on December 14, 2011, we purchased from Bashore one unpatented mining claim situated in Yavapai County (the “Claim”). As consideration for the Claim, we paid Bashore $1,000. There was no purchase agreement documenting our acquisition of the Claim and the Claim was sold, transferred and conveyed by Bashore to us by executing and delivering to us a quitclaim deed.
Description of Property
In connection with the our consideration of entering into the Lease, we conducted a diligence review of the Property. The description of Property contained herein is the product of our due diligence.
Property Description and Location
Leased Claims
The nine unpatented mining claims underlying the Lease cover approximately one hundred and eighty (180) acres and are located in the Black Rock Mining District of Yavapai County, Arizona. Set forth below are the claim reference numbers.

Owned Claims
The Claim we acquired has a BLM recording number of AMC 3993932 and county recording number of 84608P-982.
Location
The Black Rock Mining District is located in the southeast part of Yavapai County between the east foothills of the Bradshaw Mountains and the Agua Fria River. The following map shows the general location of the leased and owned unpatented mining claims we acquired in Yavapai County, Arizona:
Access
The Property is readily accessed from Wickenberg, Arizona (approximately sixty five miles northwest of Phoenix, Arizona), which lies on Federal Highway 93. Wickenberg is the nearest large town that has services necessary for mineral exploration and mining. From Wickenberg, paved Constellation Highway is followed about two miles, thence sixteen miles of dirt road lead to the Property. Unimproved tracks provide access to the claim group. Road access to the east side of the Property is limited.
History
The Yavapai County area of Arizona is an area of historic gold prospecting and production activities. However, we are not aware of any recorded history of production from the Property underlying the Lease or the Claim.
Climate, Local resources, Infrastructure, Physiography
Climate
The climate is semi-arid with roughly 12.2 inches/year precipitation, mostly in late winter. The Property can be accessed year-round because of the mild climate, good road access, and low elevation of about 1200 meters above mean sea level.
Water Rights, Power, and Mining Personnel
The status of water rights at the Property is uncertain. The amount of water in the vicinity of the Property is adequate for exploratory drilling in the winter, but may not be adequate for mineral processing. The nearest power lines are about 16 miles distant. Mining personnel are not available locally.
The most important natural feature on the Property is teriary sandstones on the north end of the property.
Tailings Storage Areas, Waste Disposal Areas, and Plant Sites
We have not identified private land adjacent to the Property or within close proximity that could be used for potential storage areas, waste disposal or processing sites. There is public land in the vicinity, but it is unknown whether permits would be granted for such uses. There is evidence of old tailings on the project which have not been sampled.
Permitting
Preliminary geological mapping, sampling, and geophysical surveys can be conducted without any permits. A Plan of Operations (“POO”) will have to be filed and approved by the Bureau of Land Management before mechanized work such as access work or drilling can be undertaken on the Property. There is no cost to file a POO with the Bureau of Land Management. Water for drilling would need to be hauled into the property according to initial site visits. Permits are often granted in a short period of time as long as they do not significantly impact existing water rights or unduly degrade riparian areas.
Further mining exploration and exploitation activities are subject to federal, state and local laws, regulations and policies, including laws regulating surface disturbance, water discharge, the removal of natural resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into the environment. These regulations mandate, among other things, the maintenance of air and water quality standards and land reclamation. They also set forth limitations on the generation, transportation, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. Exploration and exploitation activities are also subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the design and use of
exploration methods and equipment. We are unable to quantify at this time the potential cost of such regulations and permitting. Permission form the State of Arizona may be required in particular as to potential overlapping of claim jurisdictions whereby federal mineral rights may be assigned by unpatented claims on land overlapping state land.
Infrastructure
There is no ascertainable infrastructure on the Property at present.
No adits or trenches have been identified on the property.
Regional Geology
The Property lies on the southern margin of Arizona’s Transition Zone physiograpic province. The majority of the area is underlain by Precambrian gneiss, and at the north end of district Teriary sandstone predominate. Historical information refers to complex igneous and metamorphic host rocks in the general area.
Geology and Mineralization
The Property is characterized by the Precambrian gneiss, with the westerly part exposed hornblende diorite porphyry-type mineralization identified form initial examination of the breccias pipes #4, #5 and #6. The host rock is mostly composed of Proterozoic formations intruded by younger igneous rocks.
Metalurgical
No metalurgical testing has been conducted.
Reserves
There are no established probable or proven reserves on the Property. Our due diligence activities have been limited, and to a great extent, have relied upon information provided to us by third parties. We have not established and cannot provide any assurance that any of the properties underlying the Lease or the Claim contain adequate, if any, amounts of gold or other mineral reserves to make mining economically feasible to recover that gold or other mineral reserves, or to make a profit in doing so.
Project Exploration Plan
The project area is an early stage prospect with potential identified to date from reconnaissance exploration. The initial objective is to identify the presence of and extent of breccia pipes on the Property. This will require an initial work plan of geologic mapping, surface sampling and soil analysis, after which a more comprehensive plan would be developed with an objective of identifying drill targets and developing a Plan of Operation to be filed with the BLM for permission to conduct such an exploration program.
We estimate the initial work plan described above to require an estimated five thousand dollars ($5,000) for geological consulting, travel expenses, and sampling analysis costs.
Lucky Boy Silver Project - Nevada
Lucky Boy Silver Project
In December 2011, we staked five unpatented mining claims in the Walker Lane Mineral Belt in western Nevada which we are referring to as the “Lucky Boy Silver Project”.
In connection with the our consideration of whether to staked these unpatented mining claims, we conducted a diligence review of the Lucky Boy Silver Project. The description of the Lucky Boy Silver Project contained herein is the product of our due diligence from an initial site visits conducted in December 2011 and certain historical information publicly available which we have not be able to independently verified.
Land Status
We staked the following five unpatented mining claims in December 2011 covering approximately 100 acres of the Lucky Boy Silver Project:

History
The Lucky Boy Mine was discovered in 1906 by Guy E. Pritchard, and the unpatented claims staked are adjacent to the private land on which the mine was situated, however historic information does not indicate any production from the unpatented mining claims staked by us.
Accessibility, Climate, Local resources, Infrastructure, Physiography
Topography, Elevation, Accessibility,Climate
The climate is semi-arid and the project area can be accessed year-round because of the mild climate, reasonably good road access, and low elevation of about 1200 meters above mean sea level.
Water Rights, Power, and Mining Personnel
The status of water rights at the Lucky Boy Silver Project is uncertain. The amount of water in the vicinity of the project area appears adequate for exploratory drilling, but probably not for mineral processing. The nearest power lines are about within 1 km. Mining personnel are not available locally, though Nevada has an extensive mining industry causing us to believe that regional sources of personnel may be available.
Tailings Storage Areas, Waste Disposal Areas, and Plant Sites
We do not control nearby private land adjacent to the Lucky Boy Silver Project or within close proximity that could be used for potential storage areas, waste disposal or processing sites.
Permitting
Preliminary geological mapping, sampling, and geophysical surveys can be conducted without any permits. A Plan of Operations (“POO”) will have to be filed and approved by the Bureau of Land Management before mechanized work such as access work or drilling can be undertaken on the Property. There is no cost to file a POO with the Bureau of Land Management. If water for drilling is to be drawn from the nearby Miller Tunnel, a temporary water withdrawal permit might be required from the State of Nevada and definitely form current property owners. These permits are often granted in a short period of time as long as they do not significantly impact existing water rights or unduly degrade riparian areas. The
alternative is to truck in water for drilling purposes which increases costs.
Further mining exploration and exploitation activities are subject to federal, state and local laws, regulations and policies, including laws regulating surface disturbance, water discharge, the removal of natural resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into the environment. These regulations mandate, among other things, the maintenance of air and water quality standards and land reclamation. They also set forth limitations on the generation, transportation, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. Exploration and exploitation activities are also subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the design and use of
exploration methods and equipment. We are unable to quantify at this time the potential cost of such regulations and permitting.
Infrastructure
There are reported working in the are including nearby shafts, however at present it has not been determined whether underground workings extended onto the project.
Regional Geology
The Lucky Boy Silver Project is located in the Walker Lane Mineral Belt in western Nevada. Rocks in the region encompassing the project areas range from Triassic age sediments to recent alluvium filling the basins. The western side of the region is dominated by Cretaceous age intrusive rocks forming the Wassuk Range.
The Walker Lane is a major northwest-southeast-trending fault zone which displays right lateral movement that ranges from 30 to 40 miles in its central portion, and hosts a variety of precious metal and base metal mineral deposits (as well as geothermal activity) along its length. Late Cenozoic faults of the central Walker Lane form a complex array of variably oriented structures characterized by coeval strike-slip and dip-slip motions.
The rock formations for the project areas fit into the regional setting described for Mineral County
About 30,000 feet of structurally complex calcareous, clastic, and volcanic rocks of Triassic and Jurassic age exposed in the central part of the county are flanked on the south by a few thousand feet of calcareous and clastic rocks of Cambrian, Ordovician, and Permian age. Intrusive into this sequence are granitic rocks, chiefly quartz monzonite, which are probably satellitic to the composite Sierra Nevada Batholith of Cretaceous age.
Lucky Boy Project Geology
The Lucky Boy Silver Project area lies along a fault zone which has Triassic Excelsior Formation to the south against Cretaceous granite to the north. Although alteration and mineralization appears to be primarily skarn-type (most likely related to some phase of the major intrusive that comprises the surrounding Wassuk Range) most of the major contacts noted during field reconnaissance are faults.
Lucky Boy Project Mineralization
Bodies of skarn are along a fault controlled contact between limestone and intrusive with ore lenses raking steeply west, Ore minerals reported were tetrahedrite, chalcopyrite, galena, azurite, and malachite, though the company has not verified this through systematic sampling.
Mineralization is contact skarn apparently along faults juxtaposing the Cretaceous intrusive rocks and Triassic Excelsior Formation limestone.
Metaulurgical
No metallurgical testing has been conducted.
Reserves
There are no established probable or proven reserves on Lucky Boy Silver Project.
Project Exploration Plan
Initial exploration work will entail geologic mapping, data compilation and review, and to the extent justified surface sampling and sampling from accessible underground areas. Reconnaissance exploration indicates that there may limited potential from surface, exploration, drilling and underground access is key to determining future potential of the Lucky Boy Silver Project.
Our exploration plan would be divided into three phases, and execution of these plans is dependent on results from earlier phases and the availability of capital. The key strategic objective is to determine whether the mineralization extends at depth with a sufficient grade to permit a preliminary assessment to the potential for commercial mining. Initial funding required for exploration is estimated at $50,000 to cover consulting fees and expenses, systematic soil and surface sampling, identification of nearby properties that may be acquired to improve access, and develop a plan for drilling any established targets. Historical information suggests that there are may not be prospective for positive results from
near-surface exploration, hence the company exploration plan would be focused on two key objectives (a) determine mineralization at depth ( in excess of 1500 feet) or identify parallel structures to areas of historic mining. If drill targets are established, we would foresee a Phase II exploration plan of $450,000, but the implementation of such plan is contingent on us securing sufficient financing which cannot be assured.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010
Revenues
We have not generated any revenues from operations since our inception. We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time that we are able, if at all, to locate a commercially exploitable mineral deposit and either enter into commercial production or sell any mineral properties we may acquire.
Operating Expenses
We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $60,250 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to operating expenses of $88,330 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The decrease in our operating expenses relates primarily to a decrease in legal expense, consulting fees and other general and administrative expenses.
We incurred other legal expense of $7,076 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $28,935 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The decrease in legal expenses during the three months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to the prior year, is attributable to reduced property acquisition due diligence and negotiation costs. We did not incur any consulting fees during the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $13,000 in consulting fees for the three months ended December 31, 2010. Our failure to use any consultants and incur consulting fees during the three months ended December 31, 2011 is attributable to less available work for outside consultants
and more work being conducted internally. We incurred other general and administrative expenses of $6,170 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $14,650 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The decrease in other general and administrative expenses during the three months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to the prior year, is attributable to reduced administrative activity.
The decrease is operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to the same period in the prior year, was partially offset by an increase in management fees, exploration expenses and an impairment loss on goodwill.
We incurred accounting and auditing expenses of $15,831 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $13,785 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The increase in accounting and auditing fees during the three months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to the prior year, is attributable to expenditures associated with increased operations associated with the implementation of our business plan.
We incurred exploration expenses of $9,855 during the three months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $2,960 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The increase in exploration expenses during the three months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to the prior year, is attributable to increased activity and evaluation in conjunction with property acquisitions. We reported management expenses of $16,791 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $15,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The increase in management expenses during the three months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to the prior year, is attributable to greater amount of time spent by
management on a full-time basis. For the three months ended December 31, 2011, we incurred an impairment loss on goodwill of $4,797, as compared to no impairment loss or gain on goodwill during the three months ended December 31, 2010. The impairment loss on goodwill for the three months ended December 31, 2011 related to
transactions with subsidiaries. Specifically corresponds to the effect of the acquisition of the remaining shares of two of our subsidiaries.
Other Items
We reported other income of $812,540 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to no other income or expense in the three months ended December 31, 2010. Other income during the three months ended December 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to a recognized gain of $814,283, which resulted from an increase in our ownership interest in Kata Enterprises, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Panama (“Kata”), from twenty-five percent (25%) of the outstanding capital stock of Kata to own the remaining seventy-five percent (75%) of the outstanding capital stock of Kata. The increase in our ownership interest in Kata in 100% of its outstanding
capital stock eliminated the prior minority interest.
Net Loss
As a result of the above, for the three months ended December 31, 2011, we reported net income of $724,826, which included a negative foreign currency transaction adjustment of $27,194. The business operations of our subsidiaries are transacted in Colombian Pesos. The assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars for financial reporting purposes which resulted in a negative translation adjustment due to changes in the currency exchange rates for the three months ended December 31, 2011. We reported a net loss of $88,330 for the three months ended December 31, 2010.
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
As a result of the above, the basic and diluted loss per common share was ($0.00) and ($0.00) for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Results of Operations for the Six Months Ending December 31, 2011 and 2010
Revenues
We have not generated any revenues from operations since our inception. We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time that we are able, if at all, to locate a commercially exploitable mineral deposit and either enter into commercial production or sell any mineral properties we may acquire.
Operating Expenses
We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $294,889 for the six months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to expenses of $127,380 for the six months ended December 31, 2010.The increase in our operating expenses relates primarily to increased expenditures associated with a material increase in operations and exploration costs attributable to performing initial diligence of the property underlying the Mining Concessions that was the subject of the IKE-10421X concession application for which Kata, through its subsidiary, previously entered into an agreement to acquire an eighty-five percent (85%) interest. For the above reason, we incurred exploration expenses of $131,129 during the six months ended
December 31, 2011, as compared to $2,960 for the six months ended December 31, 2010.
Expenses for accounting services, consulting fees and other general and administrative expense also increased with the escalation of our operations and exploration activities.
We incurred consulting fees of $44,022 for the six months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $20,500 for the six months ended December 31, 2010. The increase in consulting fees during the six months ended December, 2011, as compared to the prior year, is attributable to compensation payable to us securing a consultant to assist with administrative matters, and increased levels of activity.
We incurred other general and administrative expenses of $22,074 for the six months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $15,105 for the six months ended December 31, 2010. The increase in other general and administrative expenses during the six months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to the prior year, is attributable to an increase in our operations.
We incurred accounting and auditing expenses of $30,901 for the six months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $21,285 for the six months ended December 31, 2010. The increase in accounting and auditing fees during the three months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to the prior year, is attributable to expenditures associated with increased operations associated with the implementation of our business plan.
We incurred management fees of $24,717 for the six months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $22,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2010. The increase in management expenses during the six months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to the prior year, is attributable to greater amount of time spent by management on a full-time basis.
The increase in operating expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to the same period in the prior year, was partially offset by a decrease in legal fees. We reported legal expense of $37,248 for the six months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $45,530 for the six months ended December 31, 2010. The decrease in legal expenses during the six months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to the prior year, is attributable to reduced property acquisition due diligence and negotiation costs.
Other Items
We reported other income of $817,106 for the six months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to no other income or expense in the three months ended December 31, 2010. Other income during the six months ended December 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to a recognized gain of $814,283which resulted from an increase in our ownership interest in Kata Enterprises, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Panama (“Kata”), from twenty-five percent (25%) of the outstanding capital stock of Kata to own the remaining seventy-five percent (75%) of the outstanding capital stock of Kata. The increase in our ownership interest in Kata in 100% of its outstanding capital
stock eliminated the prior minority interest. Other income for the six months ended December 31, 2011 was partially offset by other expense of $3,290 attributable to interest expense.
Net Loss
As a result of the above, for the six months ended December 31, 2011, we reported net income of $522,217 which included a negative foreign currency transaction adjustment of $65,645. The business operations of our subsidiaries are transacted in Colombian Pesos. The assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars for financial reporting purposes which resulted in a negative translation adjustment due to changes in the currency exchange rates for the six months ended December 31, 2011. We reported a net loss of $127,380 for the six months ended December 31, 2010.
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
As a result of the above, the basic and diluted loss per common share was ($0.00) and ($0.00) for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2011, we had cash of $109,662 (June 30, 2011 - $120,537) and a working capital deficit of $134,768 (June 30, 2011 - $131,725).
We anticipate spending approximately $20,000 in general and administrative expenses per month for the next twelve months, for a total anticipated general and administrative expenditures $240,000 over the next twelve months. These anticipated expenditures are closely related to the level of activities we have contemplated in our business plan and can be scaled back depending on the availability of sufficient capital resources. The general and administrative expenses for the year will consist primarily of professional fees for the audit and legal work relating to our regulatory filings throughout the year, as well as transfer agent fees, general management and office expenses. We currently forecast exploration
activities of $5,000 relating to implementing an initial wok plan for the leased unpatented mining claims situated in Yavapai County, Arizona and $50,000 for consulting fees and expenses, systematic soil and surface sampling, identification of nearby properties that may be acquired to improve access, and to develop a plan for drilling any established targets on the Lucky Boy Project with a plan to incur further exploration expenditures of $450,000 if appropriate drill targets are established.
Our current cash on hand is insufficient to be able to fully implement our business plan as planned. Accordingly, we must obtain additional financing in order to maintain operations. We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding exploration as we have limited tangible assets to secure any debt financing. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of additional shares of our common stock. We anticipate seeking additional funding in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock, but cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund our exploration program or
maintain operations for any period of time. In the absence of such financing, we will not be able to commence our exploration program and may be forced to cease operations, liquidate assets, seek additional capital on less favorable terms and/or pursue other remedial measures.
We may consider entering into a joint venture arrangement to provide the required funding to explore the properties underlying our mineral property interests. We have not undertaken any efforts to locate a joint venture participant. Even if we determine to pursue a joint venture participant, there is no assurance that any third party would enter into a joint venture agreement with us in order to fund exploration of the properties underlying our mineral property interests. If we enter into a joint venture arrangement, we would likely have to assign a percentage of our interest in our mineral property interests to the joint venture participant.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2011 was $65,556, as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $3,925 for the six months ended December 31, 2010. Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended December 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to net income of $522,217 which was the result of a recognized gain of $814,283 which resulted from an increase in our ownership interest in Kata Enterprises, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Panama (“Kata”), from twenty-five percent (25%) of the outstanding capital stock of Kata to own the remaining seventy-five percent (75%) of the outstanding
capital stock of Kata. The increase in our ownership interest in Kata in 100% of its outstanding capital stock eliminated the prior minority interest.
There was no cash used in or provided by financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2011 or 2010.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2011 was $10,785. There was no cash used in or provided by investing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2010.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2011 related entirely to a business acquisition relating to an increase in our equity ownership of a subsidiary entity.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet debt, nor did we have any transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations) or other relationships with any unconsolidated entities or other persons that may have material current or future effects on financial conditions, changes in the financial conditions, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources, or significant components of revenue or expenses.
Going Concern
We have incurred net losses for the period from inception on May 25, 2005 to December 31, 2011 of $3,616,248 and have no source of revenue. The continuity of our future operations is dependent on our ability to obtain financing and upon future acquisition, exploration and development of profitable operations from our mineral properties. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. For a full discussion of our accounting policies as required by GAAP, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011. We consider certain accounting policies to be critical to an understanding of our financial statements because their application requires significant judgment and reliance on estimations of matters that are inherently uncertain. The specific risks related to these critical accounting policies are unchanged at the date of this report and are described in detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of December 31, 2011. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Raymond DeMotte, and our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Camilo Velasquez. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective. Our conclusion is based primarily on the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting which was disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended June 30, 2010, our failure to complete the process of remediating these weaknesses by the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report and our failure to make timely disclosure of certain changes in our results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 necessitating that we file an amendment to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 to restate the financial statements included therein .
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other 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.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended December 31, 2011, no changes other than those made in conjunction with certain remediation efforts described below, were identified to our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Remediation of Material Weaknesses
As discussed above, as of June 30, 2010, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting due to the occurrence of a significant number of out-of-period adjustments and the magnitude of such that were identified during the quarterly closing process for the periods ended December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010, which we believe primarily stems from the fact that we had limited accounting and financial staff during the year ended June 30, 2010 which did not possess the requisite qualifications. We are currently addressing these material weaknesses as described below.
We are in the process of developing sufficient written policies and procedures relating to our redesigned accounting processes and related controls. We began implementing these measures in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2011 and are continuing these remedial actions. We expect these remedial actions to be effectively implemented by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.
If the remedial measures described above are insufficient to address any of the identified material weaknesses or are not implemented effectively, or if additional deficiencies arise in the future, material misstatements in our interim or annual financial statements may occur in the future. Among other things, any unremediated material weaknesses could result in material post-closing adjustments in future financial statements.
