Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On March 8, 2011, Loreto Resources Corporation (the “Company”) completed its initial closing (the “Initial Closing”) of a private placement (the “Offering”) of $90,000 principal amount of its 10% Convertible Notes due March 31, 2012 (the “2011 Notes”).  At the Initial Closing, the Company received proceeds of $29,935.00 from its sale of the  2011 Notes.  The 2011 Notes will be automatically converted at the initial closing of the Company’s next private placement in which the Company sells at least $1,000,000 of its securities.  The Company expects to have a second and final closing of this Offering by March 31, 2011.

Upon the first closing of the 2011 Notes Offering, the approximately $150,000 in 10% convertible promissory notes that the Company sold to certain investors in November 2010 converted into the 2011 Notes, by their terms.

The Offering was conducted pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the federal securities laws provided by Regulation D and Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.  The 2011 Notes were offered and sold only to “accredited investors,” as that term is defined by Rule 501 of Regulation D, and/or to persons who were neither resident in, nor citizens of, the United States.  No commissions were paid in connection with the Offering.

The Company intends to utilize the proceeds of the Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.
