PART I
BUSINESS

This annual report contains statements that plan for or anticipate the future and are not historical facts. In this Report these forward looking statements are generally identified by words such as “anticipate,” “plan,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” and the like. Because forward-looking statements involve future risks and uncertainties, these are factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the estimated results. These risks and uncertainties are detailed in Item 1. “Business,” Item 2. “Properties,” Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” and Item 13. “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence”.

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which provides a “safe harbor” for such statements, may not apply to this report.

Business

Business Development

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on January 13, 1989 as "Cigma Ventures Corporation". On April 17, 1999 we changed our name to “Cigma Metals Corporation” and are in the business of location, acquisition, exploration and, if warranted, development of mineral properties.  Through our Russian subsidiary, we are engaged in the exploration of gold and silver mining properties located in the Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan, and have not yet determined whether our properties contain mineral reserves that may be economically recoverable.
 
Our general business strategy is to acquire mineral properties either directly or through the acquisition of operating entities.  Our continued operations and the recoverability of mineral property costs is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves, confirmation of our interest in the underlying properties, our ability to obtain necessary financing to complete the development and upon future profitable production.

Since 1999 we have acquired and disposed of a number of properties. We have not been successful in any of our exploration efforts to establish reserves on any of the properties that we owned or in which we have or have had an interest.

We currently have interest in three (3) properties none of which contain any reserves. Please refer to “Description of Properties.” The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has not generated revenue and has experienced recurring losses from operations since inception, and has a working capital deficit.  We will not generate revenues even if any of our exploration programs indicate that a mineral deposit may exist on our properties. Accordingly, we will be dependent on future financings in order to maintain our operations and continue our exploration activities. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We have not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings.

Our Principal Products and Their Markets

We are a junior mineral exploration company. Our strategy is to concentrate our investigations into: (i) existing operations where an infrastructure already exists; (ii) properties presently being developed and/or in advanced stages of exploration which have potential for additional discoveries; and (iii) grass-roots exploration opportunities.

We are currently concentrating our property exploration activities in the Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Our properties are in the exploration stage only and are without a known body of mineral reserves. Development of the properties will follow only if satisfactory exploration results are obtained. Mineral exploration and development involves a high degree of risk and few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.  There is no assurance that our mineral exploration and development activities will result in any discoveries of commercially viable bodies of mineralization. The long-term profitability of our operations will be, in part, directly related to the cost and success of our exploration programs, which may be affected by a number of factors. Please refer to “Item 1A. Risks Factors”

Significant Developments in fiscal 2009 and Subsequent Events

For the year ended December 31, 2009 we recorded exploration expenses of $623,794 compared to $2,941,613 in fiscal 2008. The following is a breakdown of the exploration expenses by property: Republic of Kazakhstan $623,794 (2008 - $2,941,613) and Russian Federation $0 (2008 - $0).

In February 2009, 500,000 common shares were authorized for issuance at $0.20 per share for cash proceeds of $100,000.  The shares were to a company who resides outside the United States of America (in accordance with the exemption from registration requirements afforded by Regulation S as promulgated thereunder).

In March 2009, 1,000,000 common shares were authorized for issuance at $0.20 per share for cash proceeds of $200,000.  The shares were to a company who resides outside the United States of America (in accordance with the exemption from registration requirements afforded by Regulation S as promulgated thereunder).

In July 2009, 3,900,000 common shares were authorized for issuance at $0.30 per share for cash proceeds of $1,170,000.  The shares were to an individual and companies who reside outside the United States of America (in accordance with the exemption from registration requirements afforded by Regulation S as promulgated thereunder).

On December 31, 2009, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement with Copperbelt AG, a Swiss corporation, for the sale of the Company’s 100% interest in its Kazakhstan subsidiary to Copperbelt AG for $1,500,000 and other consideration, the value of which has not been determined as of yet. The purchase price will be paid at the time of closing. In December 2009, the Company received a deposit from Copperbelt AG in the amount of $450,000. The transaction is subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders so no accounting effects have been recorded yet.

On March 9, 2010, the Company signed a property purchase agreement with Alphamin Resources Corp. (“Alphamin”) regarding the sale and transfer by Alphamin of a 100% interest in the Aurora mining concessions located in the State of Guerrero, Mexico to the Company, in consideration for $150,000 and 1,000,000 common shares of Cigma.  Alphamin will retain a 1.5% Net Smelter Returns Royalty on production from the Property. On June 11, 2010 the Company’s wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, Exploraciones Cigma, S.A. de C.V., filed the Assignment Agreement for the Aurora II mining concession between Alphamin’s wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, Exploraciones La Plata, S.A. de C.V. and Exploraciones Cigma, S.A. de C.V. with the Mexican Public Registry of Mining. This purchase has not yet closed as of this date.

Distribution Methods of Our Products and Services

We are a mineral exploration company and are not in the business of distributing any products or services.

Status of Any Publicly Announced New Product or Service

We have no plans for new products or services that we do not already offer.

Competitive Business Conditions and Our Competitive Position in the Industry and Methods of Competition

Vast areas of Kazakhstan have been explored and in some cases staked through mineral exploration programs.  Vast areas also remain unexplored.  The cost of staking and re-staking new mineral claims and the costs of most phase one exploration programs are relatively modest.  Additionally, in many more prospective areas, extensive literature is readily available with respect to previous exploration activities.  These facts make it possible for a junior mineral exploration company such as ours to be very competitive with other similar companies. We are also competitive with senior companies who are doing grass roots exploration. In the event our exploration activities uncover prospective mineral showings, we anticipate being able to attract the interest of better financed industry partners to assist on a joint venture basis in more extensive exploration. We are at a competitive disadvantage compared to established mineral exploration companies when it comes to being able to complete extensive exploration programs on claims which we hold or may hold in the future.  If we are unable to raise capital to pay for extensive claim exploration, we will be required to enter into joint ventures with industry partners which will result in our interest in our claims being substantially diluted.  

Management of our company remains committed to building a portfolio of mineral exploration properties principally through their own efforts. We are one small company in a large competitive industry with many other junior exploration companies who are evaluating and re-evaluating prospective mineral properties in Kazakhstan and Mexico.

Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and the Names of Principal Suppliers

As a mineral exploration company, we do not require sources of raw materials and do not have principal suppliers in the way which applies to manufacturing companies.  Our raw materials are, in effect, mineral exploration properties which we may stake or acquire from third parties. Our management team seeks to assemble a portfolio of quality mineral exploration properties in Brazil.  Initially, we will operate in the field with our president, Technical director and various consultants on an as needed basis.  This will enable us to assemble a portfolio of properties through grass roots exploration and staking.  We will also acquire new properties through option agreements where new properties can be acquired on favorable terms.

Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers

We are in the business of mining exploration.  We are not selling any product or service and therefore have no dependence on one or a few major customers.

 
6


Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements or Labor Contracts, Including Duration

Our Company does not own any patents or trademarks.  We are not party to any labor agreements or contracts.  Licenses, franchises, concessions and royalty agreements are not part of our business.

Need for any government approval of principal products or services

As a mineral exploration company, we are not in a business which requires extensive government approvals for principal products or services.

In the event mining claims which we acquire in the future prove to host viable ore bodies, we would likely sell or lease the deposit to a company whose business is the extraction and treatment of ore. This company would undertake the sale of metals or concentrates and pay us a net smelter royalty as specified in a future lease agreement.  All responsibility for government approvals pertaining to mining methods, environmental impacts and reclamation would be the responsibility of this contractor.  All costs to obtain the necessary government approvals would be factored into technical and viability studies in advance of a decision being made to proceed with development of an ore body.

The mining industry in the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation is highly regulated. Our president and Technical director have extensive industry experience and are familiar with government regulations respecting the initial acquisition and early exploration of mining claims in the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation.  The Company is required under law to meet government standards relating to the protection of land and waterways, safe work practices and road construction.  We are unaware of any proposed or probable government regulations which would have a negative impact on the mining industry in The Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation. We propose to adhere strictly to the regulatory framework which governs mining operations in the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation.

Effect of existing or probable governmental regulations on our business.

Management is unaware of any existing or probable government regulations which would have a positive or negative impact on our company's business.

Costs and effects of compliance with environmental laws (federal, state and local)

At the present time, our costs of compliance with environmental laws are minimal.  In the event that claims which we may acquire in the future host a viable ore body, the costs and affects of compliance with environmental laws will be incorporated in the exploration plan for these claims.  These exploration plans will be prepared by qualified mining engineers.

Number of total employees and number of full time employees

As of September 13, 2010 there were five part time employees.

Item 1A.  
Risk Factors

We are an exploration stage company and have incurred substantial losses since inception.

We have never earned any revenues. In addition, we have incurred net losses of $11,137,482 for the period from our inception (January 13, 1989) through December 31, 2009 and, based upon our current plan of operation, we expect that we will incur losses for the foreseeable future.

Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such companies. We are subject to all of the risks inherent to an exploration stage business enterprise, such as limited capital mineralized materials, lack of manpower, and possible cost overruns associated with our exploration programs. Potential investors must also weigh the likelihood of success in light of any problems, complications, and delays that may be encountered with the exploration of our properties.

Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our exploration activity. As such we may not be able to complete an exploration program that is as thorough as we would like. In that event, an existing ore body may go undiscovered. Without an ore body, we cannot generate revenues and you will lose your investment.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future financing.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued its report, which includes an explanatory paragraph for going concern uncertainty on our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009. Because we have not yet generated revenues from our operations our ability to continue as a going concern is currently heavily dependent upon our ability to obtain additional financing to sustain our operations. Such financing may take the form of the issuance of common or preferred stock or debt securities, or may involve bank financing. Although we have completed several equity financings, the fact that our auditors have issued a “going concern” opinion may hinder our ability to obtain additional financing in the future. Currently, we have no commitments to obtain any additional financing, and there can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Our failure to timely file certain periodic reports with the SEC poses significant risks to our business, each of which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
 
We did not timely file with the SEC our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2009.  Consequently, we were not compliant with the periodic reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  In addition, our failure to timely file those and possibly future periodic reports with the SEC could subject us to enforcement action by the SEC and shareholder lawsuits.  Any of these events could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and our ability to register with the SEC public offerings of our securities for our benefit or the benefit of our security holders.

Because we do not have any revenues, we expect to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future.

We have never generated revenues and we have never been profitable. Prior to completing exploration on our mineral properties, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. If we are unable to generate financing to continue the exploration of our properties, we will fail and you will lose your entire investment.

None of the properties in which we have an interest or the right to earn an interest have any known reserves.

We currently have an interest or the right to earn an interest in three properties, none of which have any reserves. Based on our exploration activities through the date of this Form 10-K, we do not have sufficient information upon which to assess the ultimate success of our exploration efforts.  If we do not establish reserves we may be required to curtail or suspend our operations, in which case the market value of our common stock may decline and you may lose all or a portion of your investment.

 
8


We have only completed the initial stages of exploration of our properties, and thus have no way to evaluate whether we will be able to operate our business successfully. To date, we have been involved primarily in organizational activities, acquiring interests in properties and in conducting preliminary exploration of properties. We have not earned any revenues and have not achieved profitability as of the date of this Form 10-K.

We are subject to all the risks inherent to mineral exploration, which may have an adverse affect on our business operations.

Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by mineral exploration 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. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will likely fail and you will lose your entire investment.

We are subject to the numerous risks and hazards inherent to the mining industry and resource exploration including, without limitation, the following:

 
·
interruptions caused by adverse weather conditions;
 
·
unforeseen  limited  sources of  supplies  resulting in  shortages  of materials, equipment  and availability of experienced  manpower.

The prices and availability of such equipment, facilities, supplies and manpower may change and have an adverse effect on our operations, causing us to suspend operations or cease our activities completely.

It is possible that our title for the properties in which we have an interest will be challenged by third parties.

We have not obtained title insurance for our properties.  It is possible that the title to the properties in which we have our interest will be challenged or impugned. If such claims are successful, we may lose our interest in such properties.

Our failure to compete with our competitors in mineral exploration for financing, acquiring mining claims, and for qualified managerial and technical employees will cause our business operations to slow down or be suspended.

Our competition includes large established mineral exploration companies with substantial capabilities and with greater financial and technical mineralized materials than we have. As a result of this competition, we may be unable to acquire additional attractive mining claims or financing on terms we consider acceptable. We may also compete with other mineral exploration companies in the recruitment and retention of qualified managerial and technical employees. If we are unable to successfully compete for financing or for qualified employees, our exploration programs may be slowed down or suspended.

Compliance with environmental regulations applicable to our operations may adversely affect our capital liquidity.

All phases of our operations in the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation, where our properties are located, will be subject to environmental regulations.  Environmental legislation in the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. It is possible that future changes in environmental regulation will adversely affect our operations as compliance will be more burdensome and costly.

Because we have not allocated any money for reclamation of any of our mining claims, we may be subject to fines if the mining claims are not restored to its original condition upon termination of our activities.

Our directors may face conflicts of interest in connection with our participation in certain ventures because they are directors of other mineral mineralized material companies.

Messrs. Gomez de Segura and Mueller, who serve as directors, may also be directors of other companies (including mineralized material exploration companies) and, if those other companies participate in ventures in which we may participate, our directors may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms respecting the extent of such participation.  It is possible that due to our directors’ conflicting interests, we may be precluded from participating in certain projects that we might otherwise have participated in, or we may obtain less favourable terms on certain projects than we might have obtained if our directors were not also directors of other participating mineral mineralized materials companies.  In an effort to balance their conflicting interests, our directors may approve terms equally favourable to all of their companies as opposed to negotiating terms more favourable to us but adverse to their other companies.  Additionally, it is possible that we may not be afforded certain opportunities to participate in particular projects because those projects are assigned to our directors’ other companies for which the directors may deem the projects to have a greater benefit.

Our future performance is dependent on our ability to retain key personnel, loss of which would adversely affect our success and growth.

Our performance is substantially dependent on performance of our senior management.  In particular, our success depends on the continued efforts of Mr. Gomez de Segura. The loss of his services could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition as our potential future revenues would most likely dramatically decline and our costs of operations would rise.  We do not have employment agreements in place with any of our officers or our key employees, nor do we have key person insurance covering our employees.

The value and transferability of our shares may be adversely impacted by the limited trading market for our shares.

There is only a limited trading market for our common stock on the Pink Sheets. This may make it more difficult for you to sell your stock if you so desire.

Our common stock is a penny stock and because "penny stock” rules will apply, you may find it difficult to sell the shares of our common stock.

Our common stock is a “penny stock” as that term is defined under Rule 3a51-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Generally, a "penny stock" is a common stock that is not listed on a national securities exchange and trades for less than $5.00 a share. Prices often are not available to buyers and sellers and the market may be very limited. Penny stocks in start-up companies are among the most risky equity investments. Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks must provide purchasers of these stocks with a standardized risk-disclosure document prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The document provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks involved in investing in the penny stock market. A broker must also give a purchaser, orally or in writing, bid and offer quotations and information regarding broker and salesperson compensation, make a written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser, and obtain the purchaser's written agreement to the purchase. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and also may affect the ability of purchasers of our stock to sell their shares in the secondary market.  It may also cause fewer broker dealers to make a market in our stock.

 
10


Many brokers choose not to participate in penny stock transactions. Because of the penny stock rules, there is less trading activity in penny stock and you are likely to have difficulty selling your shares.

In addition to the "penny stock" rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

Future sales of shares by us may reduce the value of our stock.

If required, we will seek to raise additional capital through the sale of our common stock.  Future sales of shares by us could cause the market price of our common stock to decline and may result in further dilution of the value of the shares owned by our stockholders.

We conduct our activities from our principal and technical office located at 18, 80 Furmanova Str, Almaty, Republic of Kazakhstan. We believe that these offices are adequate for our purposes.  We do not own any real property or significant assets. Management believes that this space will meet our needs for the next 12 months.

Mining Properties

Our properties are in the preliminary exploration stage and do not contain any known bodies of ore.

We conduct exploration activities from our principal and technical office located at 18, 80 Furmanova Street, Almaty, Republic of Kazakhstan. The telephone number is (+7) 327-2611 026.  We believe that these offices are adequate for our purposes and operations.

Our strategy is to concentrate our efforts on: (i) existing operations where an infrastructure already exists; (ii) properties presently being developed and/or in advanced stages of exploration which have potential for additional discoveries; and (iii) grass-roots exploration opportunities.

We are currently concentrating our property exploration activities in the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation.

Our properties are in the exploration stage only and are without a known body of mineral reserves. Development of the properties will follow only if satisfactory exploration results are obtained. Mineral exploration and development involves a high degree of risk and few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.  There is no assurance that our mineral exploration and development activities will result in any discoveries of commercially viable bodies of mineralization. The long-term profitability of our operations will be, in part, directly related to the cost and success of our exploration programs, which may be affected by a number of factors. Please refer to “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

We currently have an interest in three (3) projects, two located in the Tomsk Oblast region in the Russian Federation and one located in the Republic of Kazakhstan.  We have conducted only preliminary exploration activities to date and may discontinue such activities and dispose of the properties if further exploration work is not warranted.

Haldeevskaya License
 
Cigma (80%) -Haldej Zoloto SPA was executed by 22 June 2005
The Haldeevskaya exploration licence has expired by 31 Dec 2007. In 2009 no activity has been shown on Licence property.
 
The Haldeevskaya exploration license covers an area of 576 km2 (57,600ha) and is located approximately 16 kilometres NE from Tomsk via paved highway. Excellent infrastructure is currently in place, including, maintained tarmac access roads, high tension power lines at 500 kilowatts per line, gravel vehicular access roads over the project area with close-spaced, 100 metre, cut lines over the target areas. The area is also close to the railheads in Tomsk, with links to the Trans Siberian Railway, and all infrastructures associated with a regional centre.

Geology of Haldeevskaya area is represented by the mid Devonian volcanogenic-sedimentary sediments of the Mitrofan suite, terrigenous (“black shale”) sediments of the Jurginsk, Pachinsk, Salamat suites of upper Devonian, and the Yarsk, Lagernosadsk stratus of the lower Carboniferous age.  The rock formations are deformed into the linear folds with the north-north-eastern strike and they are cut by the series of longitudinal, lateral and diagonal fractures of different type and order.  The area is located at the front zone of the Tomsk thrust above the granitoid intrusions that are inferred by geophysics. Dolerite and Monzonite dikes intrude Paleozoic rocks forming the series of dike zones with a north-western trend with an echelon-like arrangement of some dikes and their groups.  Mineralization is focussed into areas associated with the thrusting. Towards the end of 19th and first half of the 20th centuries the region was one of the most prolific gold mining spots in Russia. The coarse gold was panned from the Tom river and the numerous drainage systems around the city of Tomsk. In late 1980 Geosphera made its first gold discoveries in hard rock.  As a result of the  geochemical and geophysical surveys a series of 6 highly prospective gold soil anomalies have been outlined   Of the 6 large anomalies the area currently considered the most perspective are the Semiluzhenskoye, Verkhnekamensk and Sukhorechenskoye prospects.  The Verkhnekamensk anomaly is located in the eastern part of the Haldeiskaja license on the tectonic contact between the clay shales and volcanics. As a result of the litho-geochemical, geological and geophysical studies, conducted by Cigma, two mineralized zones of east-west strike have been outlined and plotted at 1:20,000. These zones were traced across the area for 3 kilometres with widths ranging from 250 to 700 meters. Within these zones 3 anomalies were found and appear prospective for gold mineralization. The first diamond drilling program has outlined vast areas of hydrothermal alteration, preliminary mineralogical investigations have discovered free gold in drill core from the upper part of the mineralization zone.

Tugojakovsk License

Cigma (80%)-Geosphera (20%) JV Agreement was executed by 03 Mar 2006.

The Tugojakovsk exploration license (expiry 01 Dec 2009) covers an area of 164 km2 (16,400ha) and is located 25 kilometres SE from the regional centre of Tomsk via paved highway. An excellent infrastructure is in place including excellent sealed roads, close access to railheads and the infrastructure associated with the regional centre of Tomsk.

The geology of Tugojakovsk area is represented by the sedimentary rock formations of Carboniferous age composed of carbonaceous shales, siltstones and sandstones united under the common term "black shale". The rocks are deformed into linear folds and cut by the series of longitudinal, lateral and diagonal faults. The dolerite and monzonite dikes intrude Palaeozoic rocks forming a series of dike zones controlling quartz stock works with gold mineralization.

The Baturinsk occurrence, located within the Tugojakovsk license is composed of a series silicified shear zones (mylonite zones) consisting of numerous, locally intense, small quartz veinlets carrying gold. The surrounding geological units are composed of mineralised carbonaceous shales. In 2006 there have been drilled 1,900 metres of core drilling. The gold mineralization zone, which is available on surface was not intercepted by the drill holes. Cigma made the decision to discontinue further expenditures on this licence area (Report 10-K of 2006).

The Tugojakovsk exploration license has expired by 01 Dec 2009.

Maykubinsk exploration and mining licence
 
Map 1
Figure 1 -
Astana is an important regional centre for the project infrastructure both as an international  airport and as the location of all the exploration/mining authorities.

The Company, through its 100% subsidiary Dostyk LLP holds high potential Maykubinsk exploration and mining license located in Pavlodar Oblast Region in Kazakhstan. Accordingly to Kazakhstan Mining Law an exploration and mining licence (also called a Contract with the Government) could be obtained by any private or corporate body, including those with 100% of foreign ownership, through an open tender published by government. If the licence is already issued then it could be acquired through direct negotiations with the owner and re-registered by State authorities. Cigma acquired Dostyk LLP from Eureka Mining Ltd, a UK based public company.

The Dostyk acquisition steps were as follows:
The Company through execution of Shares Purchase Agreement with Eureka Mining Ltd has acquired 100% shares of Dostyk in  following steps and conditions:
 
·
On 27 Jan 2007 Cigma has been granted 51% of Dostyk LLP in return for commitment to spend US$300,000 for Exploration on Maykubinsk licence.
 
·
By by spending further US$700,000 Cigma had rights to obtain further 20% of Dostyk LLP
 
·
Cigma had the right to obtain a further 19% of Dostyk LLP by spending further US$1,000,000 to increase sharing in Dostyk to 90%.
 
·
Cigma paid Eureka US$400,000 to obtain the remaining 10% of Dostyk and so became 100% owner of Dostyk LLP and consequently of Maykubinsk licence.

The Dostyk property (Figure 2) originally has covered an area of 14,000 square kilometres (1,400,000ha), in northern Kazakhstan in a region which has been producing gold and base metals for decades including Zinc, Copper, Nickel, Lead and Gold in various geological environments. Geologically the area comprises granites, granodiorite and monzonite with associated continental volcanogenic formations, island arc formations and mafic and felsic intrusives.  Currently, over 130 known mineral occurrences occur on the property, and the Company has selected 2 targets as the focus of the 2009 exploration campaign.

The licence area has a well-developed infrastructure (figure 2) including a network of railways and power lines that service the needs of the entire country and parts of the Urals in neighbouring Russia. Access to any of the exploration prospects is available trough the year by sealed, gravel or dirt roads of good quality. High voltage power lines criss-crossing the Dostyk project area. Actually this region produces the cheapest electricity in Kazakhstan. Water sources are represented by number of abandoned coaleries and fresh water lakes in vicinity to exploration prosects.
 
The region’s economy of Central Kazakhstan is predicated on mining, power generation and agriculture. Mining consists of giant coal mining at Karaganda, Ekibastuz and Maikube, mining of polymetallic, gold-rich volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits at Abyz, Maikain, Alpys and Souvenir. Roads and trails criss-cross the region to serve the agriculture and mining areas. Numerous high-tension power lines radiate out of several power generation stations in Ekibastuz to serve Kazakhstan and for power export to Russia.

Regional Geology and mineralization

Central Kazakhstan geological structure is represented by strong folded and dislocated Cambrian-Ordovician submarine volcanic and sedimentary rocks, covered by Silurian-Devonian sediments and Devonian felsitic volcanic suites with a whole series of stocks, dikes and sills of various ages. Late Paleozoic rocks are represented by Carboniferous and Jurassic marine and continental suites.
 
Mineral deposits are related in time and space to the various lithologies:
-
Gold-rich volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits associated with Ordovician submarine volcanic rocks.
-
Porphyry gold-copper deposits associated with altered sub-volcanic dioritic intrusives presumable of Ordovician age.
-
Epithermal gold deposits associated with quartz veins and quartz-sulphide stockworks in Ordovician, Devonian and Permian intrusives of diorite to granite composition.
-
Lead-zinc mineralization associated with Silurian-Devonian siltstone and carbonate beds.
-
Coal deposits associated with Carboniferous marine and deltaic sedimentary rocks.
-
Titanium and zirconium-rich sands in Late Carboniferous beach sands.
-
Bauxite and nickel laterite deposits formed from modern weathering of Paleozoic limestones and Cambrian ultramafic rocks.

License and Contract commitments

License #785 for an original area of 14,000 square kilometres (1,400,000ha) in Central Kazakhstan was issued  on January 8, 1996. In accordance with new legislation the Licence was converted on Oct 11, 2001  to Subsoil Contract # 759 with exploration and mining rights valid until Jan 8 2021. Extension of mining term is warranted till full depletion of mineral resources.   The Contract #759 was issued to Dostyk Ltd. The exploration term expires on Dec 31, 2009. Dostyk has currently submitted to the Kazakhstan Authorities an application for exploration extension till Dec 2011. 

In accordance with Kazakhstan regulations an exploration ground proved to be barren for further exploration should be returned to State by end of each year. By end of 2008 the Dostyk has retained 2,774 sq. km (274,400ha) of exploration ground. The contract territory will be returned to the State by December 2011 except areas, which Dostyk would claim as commercial discoveries i.e. those prospects on which Kazakh style resources of C1-C2 categories would be proved. No maintenance or any other fees and payments are required to retain the Licence/Contract. No production sharing arrangements are related to the Dostyk properties. A royalty interest is payable to be the State once Dostyk goes into production. The royalty rate for mineral deposits in Kazakhstan range from 0.3% to 3.0% in different projects and is subject to a feasibility study and direct negotiations with the State authority. Cigma is the sole owner of the Dostyk LLP, i.e. no body has any claims or interest in Dostyk except Cigma.

In order to retain exploration and mining rights and to convert the exploration licence/contract into a mining licence  Dostyk LLP should by end of exploration term, which is 31 Dec 2010, submit and prove with State Resources Commission of Kazakhstan a Report of C1-C2 Mineral Resources. That warranties to Dostyk exclusive and irrevocable rights for mining of the mineral resources proved with government of Kazakhstan.

The surface of the licence area is represented by poor-quality pastoral ground with quite spare life stock on it. Accordingly to Kazakhstan law, the sub-soil contract prevails above surface agricultural or other facilities. However Dostyk is required every year to obtain an exploration permit from local authorities.

Exploration Works 2009
 
The exploration work has been supervised by Kiintas Mining Management Pty Ltd, an Australian company, providing exploration and mineral resource service in Central Asia.

The quality control of drilling, sampling, assaying has been carried out on site by Micromine Ltd, an Australian Resource company and by Alex Stewart Laboratories, an internationally accredited UK company with laboratory in Kyrgyzstan. Dostyk assays 100% of its samples in this lab.

Total exploration expenditures incurred by the Company during 2009 on the Dostyk Project amounted to $ 623,794.

The funds were spent on the Berezki East Prospect and the Quartzite Gorka Prospect represented by gold-copper porphyry mineralization zones. The main exploration expenditures were diamond drilling (11 drill holes for 3,350 meters) and assays. The breakdown of the costs is shown in the table below.

On Berezki East Prospect (figures 3 & 4), we continued extension drilling on Northern and Southern flanks targeting deeper levels of mineralization zone. As a result of the 2009 drilling program, the mineralization has been extended on strike for further 340 meters and in depth direction to 300 meters.  The total explored length of the zone is 650 meters by average width 25 to 30 meters by grade 1.06g/t of gold and 0.14% of copper.

In 2009 , we continued the exploration program on the Quartzite Gorka Prospect (figures 5 & 6), targeting the Western extension of gold-copper mineralization zone and its extension to depth direction. 5 holes have been drilled for a total of 1,520 meters. The drilling results have revealed a pinch out of mineralization in northwest direction with reduced zone width zone and decreased values of the gold (0.3g/t) and copper (0.1%).

Selected Financial Data

Not applicable

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following information should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. We also urge you to review and consider our disclosures describing various risks that may affect our business, which are set forth under the heading “RISK FACTORS.”

(A)
General

We are a mineral exploration company engaged in the exploration of base, precious metals and industrial minerals worldwide.  We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on January 13, 1989, under the name "Cigma Ventures Corporation." We conduct our exploration and property acquisition activities through our head office which is located at is located at 18, 80 Furmanova Str, Almaty, Republic of Kazakhstan. The telephone number is (+7) 327 – 2611 026.

We had no revenues during fiscal 2009 and 2008. Funds raised in fiscal 2009 and 2008 were used for exploration of our properties and general administration.

(B)
Results of Operations

Year Ended December 31, 2009 (Fiscal 2009) versus Year Ended December 31, 2008 (Fiscal 2008)

For the year ended December 31, 2009 we recorded a loss of $2,235,894 or $0.04 per share, compared to a loss of $3,482,650 or $0.08 per share in 2008.

General and administrative expenses – For the year ended December 31, 2009 we recorded general and administrative expenses of $602,503 (fiscal 2008 - $534,132). The fiscal 2009 amount includes professional fees - accounting $69,277 (fiscal 2008 - $3,033) and legal $18,283 (fiscal 2008 - $55,053). Recent developments in capital markets have restricted access to debt and equity financing for the Company. As a result, the Company reduced its 2010 capital spending requirements in light of the current and anticipated, global economic environment.

Exploration expenditures - For the year ended December 31, 2009, we recorded total exploration costs of $623,794 compared to $2,941,613 in fiscal 2008. The following is a breakdown of the exploration expenses by property: Kazakhstan $623,794 (2008 - $2,941,613); Haldey Gold Project located in the Tomsk Oblast region of the Russian Federation totalled $0 (2008 - $0) and Tugojakovsk Project located in the Tomsk Oblast region of the Russian Federation totalled $0 (2008 - $0).

Depreciation expense – For the year ended December 31, 2009 we recorded depreciation expense of $20,909 compared to $19,707 in fiscal 2008.

(C)
Capital Resources and Liquidity

December 31, 2009 versus December 31, 2008:

Recent developments in capital markets have restricted access to debt and equity financing for many companies. The Company’s exploration properties are in the exploration stage, have not commenced commercial production and consequently the Company has no history of earnings or cash flow from its operations. As a result, the Company is reviewing its 2010/2011 exploration and capital spending requirements in light of the current and anticipated, global economic environment.

The Company currently finances its activities primarily by the private placement of securities. There is no assurance that equity funding will be accessible to the Company at the times and in the amounts required to fund the Company’s activities. There are many conditions beyond the Company’s control which have a direct bearing on the level of investor interest in the purchase of Company securities. The Company may also attempt to generate additional working capital through the operation, development, sale or possible joint venture development of its properties, however, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations. Debt financing has not been used to fund the Company’s property acquisitions and exploration activities and the Company has no current plans to use debt financing. The Company does not have “standby” credit facilities, or off-balance sheet arrangements and it does not use hedges or other financial derivatives. The Company has no agreements or understandings with any person as to additional financing.

At December 31, 2009, we had cash of $52,609 (2008 - $29,247) and a working capital deficiency of $1,164,762 (2008 working capital deficiency - $1,151,940) respectively. Total liabilities as of December 31, 2009 were $2,424,619 as compared to $2,076,879 on December 31, 2008, an increase of $347,740.

In February 2009, 500,000 common shares were authorized for issuance at $0.20 per share for cash proceeds of $100,000.  In March 2009, 1,000,000 common shares were authorized for issuance at $0.20 per share for cash proceeds of $200,000.  In July 2009, 3,900,000 common shares were authorized for issuance at $0.30 per share for cash proceeds of $1,170,000.  In January 2008 the Company issued 300,000 common shares valued at $114,000 as a finder’s fee in consideration for arranging property acquisitions in Kazakhstan. In June and October 2008 the Company issued 6,500,000 and 1,600,000 common shares respectively, the total amount received was $1,950,001 and $400,000, respectively.

Our general business strategy is to acquire mineral properties either directly or through the acquisition of operating entities. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As discussed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring operating losses since inception, has not generated any operating revenues to date and used cash of $765,617 from operating activities in 2009. The Company requires additional funds to meet its obligations and maintain its operations.  We do not have sufficient working capital to (i) pay our administrative and general operating expenses through December 31, 2010 and (ii) to conduct our preliminary exploration programs. Without cash flow from operations, we may need to obtain additional funds (presumably through equity offerings and/or debt borrowing) in order, if warranted, to implement additional exploration programs on our properties. While we may attempt to generate additional working capital through the operation, development, sale or possible joint venture development of its properties, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations.  Failure to obtain such additional financing may result in a reduction of our interest in certain properties or an actual foreclosure of its interest. We have no agreements or understandings with any person as to such additional financing.

 
23


Our exploration properties have not commenced commercial production and we have no history of earnings or cash flow from its operations. While we may attempt to generate additional working capital through the operation, development, sale or possible joint venture development of its property, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations.

Cash Flow

Operating activities:       The Company used cash of $765,617 (used cash in 2008 - $3,115,799) through the year ended December 31, 2009. The following is a breakdown of cash used for operating activities: Depreciation and amortization of $20,909 (2008 - $19,707), expenses satisfied with issuance of common stock $0 (2008 - $114,000), impairment of mineral properties of $1,009,597 (2008 - $0), and realized loss on sale of equipment $0 (2008 - $12,342). Changes in prepaid expenses and other assets resulted in a decrease of $18,361 compared to an increase of $23,484 in 2008. There was a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $160,866 compared to an increase of $173,036 in 2008. There was an increase in accounts payable to related party in 2009 of $132,276 compared to an increase of $71,250 in 2008. There was an increase in deposits in 2009 of $450,000 compared to an increase of $0 in 2008

Investing Activities:       During the year ended December 31, 2009 investing activities consisted of expenditures on the purchase of assets of $660 (2008 - $89,714), proceeds from sale of equipment $0 (2008 - $35,717) and acquisition of mineral property costs of $0 (2008 - $400,000).

Financing Activities:      We intend to finance our activities by raising capital through the equity markets. Proceeds from the sale of common stock were $1,020,000 (2008 - $2,800,001). In fiscal 2009 the Company repaid loans of $231,174 (2008 - $402,220).

Dividends

The Company has neither declared nor paid any dividends on its Common stock. The Company intends to retain its earnings to finance growth and expand its operations and does not anticipate paying any dividends on its Common shares in the foreseeable future.

Asset-Backed Commercial Paper

The Company has no asset-backed commercial paper.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Risks

Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments.  As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair value.

The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, accounts payable-related parties, and deposits approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Available for sale securities are recorded at the current market value.

Management is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

The Company operates outside of the United States of America (primarily in Kazakhstan) and is exposed to foreign currency risk due to the fluctuation between the currency in which the Company operates in and the U.S. dollar.

Share Capital

At September 17, 2010, the Company had:

Authorized share capital of 100,000,000 common shares with par value of $0.0001 each.

53,500,000 common shares were issued and outstanding as at September 17, 2010 (December 31, 2008 – 48,100,000).

Outlook

General Economic Conditions

Current problems in credit markets and deteriorating global economic conditions have lead to a significant weakening of exchange traded commodity prices in recent months, including precious and base metal prices. Volatility in these markets has also been unusually high. It is difficult in these conditions to forecast metal prices and demand trends for products that we would produce if we had current mining operations. Credit market conditions have also increased the cost of obtaining capital and limited the availability of funds. Accordingly, management is reviewing the effects of the current conditions on our business.

It is anticipated that for the foreseeable future, the Company will rely on the equity markets to meet its financing need. The Company will also consider entering into joint venture arrangements to advance its projects.

Capital and Exploration Expenditures

We are reviewing our capital and exploration spending in light of current market conditions. As a result of our review, the Company may curtail a portion of its capital and exploration expenditures during 2010/2011.

We are currently concentrating our exploration activities in Kazakhstan and examining data relating to the potential acquisition or joint venturing of additional mineral properties in either the exploration or development stage.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company was not a party to any off-balance-sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on the results of operations, financial condition, revenues or expenses, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources of the Company.

Market Risk Disclosures

We have not entered into derivative contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes.

During the next 12 months we intend to raise additional funds through equity offerings and/or debt borrowing to meet our administrative/general operating expenses and to conduct work on our exploration properties. There is, of course, no assurance that we will be able to do so.

Our exploration properties have not commenced commercial production and we have no history of earnings or cash flow from its operations. While we may attempt to generate additional working capital through the operation, development, sale or possible joint venture development of its property, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations.

On December 31, 2009, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement with Copperbelt AG, a Swiss corporation, for the sale of the Company’s 100% interest in its Kazakhstan subsidiary to Copperbelt AG for $1,500,000 and other consideration, the value of which has not been determined as of yet. The purchase price will be paid at the time of closing. The transaction is subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders.

On March 9, 2010, the Company signed a property purchase agreement with Alphamin Resources Corp. (“Alphamin”) regarding the sale and transfer by Alphamin of a 100% interest in the Aurora mining concessions located in the State of Guerrero, Mexico to the Company, in consideration for $150,000 and 1,000,000 common shares of Cigma.  Alphamin will retain a 1.5% Net Smelter Returns Royalty on production from the Property. On June 11, 2010 the Company’s wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, Exploraciones Cigma, S.A. de C.V., filed the Assignment Agreement for the Aurora II mining concession between Alphamin’s wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, Exploraciones La Plata, S.A. de C.V. and Exploraciones Cigma, S.A. de C.V. with the Mexican Public Registry of Mining.

We will concentrate our exploration activities on the Mexican property and examine data relating to the potential acquisition or joint venturing of additional mineral properties in either the exploration or development stage in Mexico and other South American countries. Additional employees will be hired on a consulting basis as required by the exploration properties.

(D)
Application of Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting policies and methods we utilize in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements determine how we report our financial condition and results of operations and may require our management to make estimates or rely on assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. Our accounting policies are described in note 2 of our December 31, 2009 Consolidated Financial Statements. Our accounting policies relating to mineral property and exploration costs and depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment are critical accounting policies that are subject to estimates and assumptions regarding future activities.

Depreciation is based on the estimated useful lives of the assets and is computed using the straight-line method.  Equipment is recorded at cost.  Depreciation is provided over the following useful lives:  vehicles 10 years and machinery and equipment and other fixed assets, 2 to 10 years.

Exploration costs are charged to operations as incurred until such time that proven reserves are discovered. From that time forward, the Company will capitalize all costs to the extent that future cash flow from mineral reserves equals or exceeds the costs deferred. The deferred costs will be amortized over the recoverable reserves when a property reaches commercial production. As at December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company did not have proven reserves.

Exploration activities conducted jointly with others are reflected at the Company's proportionate interest in such activities.

Costs  related  to  site  restoration  programs  are  accrued over the life  of  the  project.

US GAAP requires us to consider at the end of each accounting period whether or not there has been an impairment of the capitalized property, plant and equipment. This assessment is based on whether factors that may indicate the need for a write-down are present. If we determine there has been an impairment, then we would be required to write-down the recorded value of its property, plant and equipment costs which would reduce our earnings and net assets.

(E)
Related Party Transactions

Our proposed business raises potential conflicts of interests between certain of our officers and directors and us. Certain of our directors are directors of other mineral resource companies and, to the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which we may participate, our directors may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms regarding the extent of such participation.  In the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of our directors, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms.  In appropriate cases, we will establish a special committee of independent directors to review a matter in which several directors, or management, may have a conflict.  From time to time, several companies may participate in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties thereby allowing for their participation in larger programs, involvement in a greater number of programs and reduction of the financial exposure with respect to any one program.  It may also occur that a particular company will assign all or a portion of its interest in a particular program to another of these companies due to the financial position of the company making the assignment.

In determining whether we will participate in a particular program and the interest therein to be acquired by it, the directors will primarily consider the potential benefits to us, the degree of risk to which we may be exposed and its financial position at that time.  Other than as indicated, we have no other procedures or mechanisms to deal with conflicts of interest.  We are not aware of the existence of any conflict of interest as described herein.

Other than as disclosed below, during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, none of our current directors, officers or principal shareholders, nor any family member of the foregoing, nor, to the best of our information and belief, any of our former directors, senior officers or principal shareholders, nor any family member of such former directors, officers or principal shareholders, has or had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction, or in any proposed transaction which has materially affected or will materially affect us.

There have been no transactions or proposed transactions with officers and directors during the last two years to which we are a party except as follows:

During the fiscal year 2009, consulting fees of $180,000 (2008 – $242,013) were paid to directors of the Company. The transactions were recorded at the exchange amount, being the value established and agreed to by the related parties.

Due to related party, as at December 31, 2009 and 2008 represents amounts due to directors of the Company for consulting fees and/or various expenses incurred on behalf of the Company. All amounts owing to related parties are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no fixed terms of repayment.

(F)
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or contractual obligations that are likely to have or are reasonably likely to have a material 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 have not been disclosed in our financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Cigma Metals Corporation


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cigma Metals Corporation (an exploration stage company) ("the Company") as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficiency) and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from January 13, 1989 (date of inception) through December 31, 2009.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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 has determined that it 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 Company's internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cigma Metals Corporation (an exploration stage company) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from January 13, 1989 (date of inception) to December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has not generated revenue and has experienced recurring losses from operations since inception, and has a working capital deficit.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Cigma Metals Corporation
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2009 and 2008



NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
1.
Nature of Business and Going Concern

Cigma Metals Corporation ("the Company") was formed on January 13, 1989 under the laws of the State of Florida as Cigma Ventures Corporation. On April 17, 1999 the Company changed its name to Cigma Metals Corporation. The Company is in the business of location, acquisition, exploration and, if warranted, development of mineral properties.  The Company’s current focus is on the exploration and development of its Maykubinsk exploration and mining license located in the Pavlodar Oblast Region in Kazakhstan and the two mineral exploration licenses located in Tomsk Oblast Region of the Russian Federation (see Note 4). The Company has not yet determined whether its properties contain mineral reserves that may be economically recoverable and has not generated any operating revenues to date.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  The general business strategy of the Company is to acquire mineral properties either directly or through the acquisition of operating entities.   The Company has incurred recurring operating losses since inception, has not generated any operating revenues to date and used cash of $765,617 from operating activities in 2009. The Company requires additional funds to meet its obligations and maintain its operations.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in this regard are to raise equity financing through private or public equity investment in order to support existing operations and expand its business. There is no assurance that such additional funds will be available to the Company when required or on terms acceptable to the Company. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

Significant Accounting Policies

 
(a)
Principles of Accounting

We follow accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, commonly referred to as the “FASB”. The FASB sets generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) that we follow to ensure we consistently report our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, referred to as Codification or “ASC”. The FASB finalized the codification effective for periods ending on or after September 15, 2009.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Cigma Metals BVI Limited ("Cigma BVI"), Dostyk LLP and Exploraciones Cigma S.A. de C.V. (“Cigma Mexico”) which was incorporated in Mexico in April 2010 . During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company acquired a 51% interest in Dostyk on February 15, 2007, an additional 20% interest during the period ended June 30, 2007 and an additional 19% during the period ended September 30, 2007. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company acquired the final 10%. Collectively, they are referred to herein as "the Company". Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Cigma BVI is inactive.

Significant Accounting Policies   (continued)

 
(b)
Accounting Estimates

The preparation of consolidated 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

 
(c)
Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents comprise certain highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased.  The Company did not have any cash equivalents at December 31, 2009 and 2008. In 2009 $68,825 (2008 - $0) was paid for interest and no amounts were paid for income taxes in 2009 or 2008.

 
(d)
Marketable securities

The Company’s available-for-sale securities consist of shares of common stock of three publicly traded companies at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and are stated at fair value. The cost of these securities is $181,797, at December 31, 2009 (2008 - $181,797) and the net unrealized holding gain of $43,049 at December 31, 2009 (2008 loss – $132,945) is included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at December 31, 2009. If a loss in value in the available-for-sale securities is considered to be other than temporary, it is recognized in the determination of net income. All unrealized holding gains at December 31, 2009 are on securities that have a fair market value of $224,846 at December 31, 2009. Cost is based on the specific identification method for the individual securities to determine realized gains or losses.

Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  The following table presents information about the Company’s financial assets that have been measured at fair value as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs utilized to determine such fair value.

(e)
Equipment

Depreciation is based on the estimated useful lives of the assets and is computed using the straight-line method.  Equipment is recorded at cost.  Depreciation is provided over the following useful lives:

 
Vehicles
10 years
 
Office equipment, furniture and fixtures
2 to 5 years

 
(f)
Mineral Properties and Exploration Expenses

The Company accounts for its mineral properties on a cost basis whereby all direct costs, net of pre-production revenue, relative to the acquisition of the properties are capitalized.  All sales and option proceeds received are first credited against the costs of the related property, with any excess credited to earnings. Once commercial production has commenced, the net costs of the applicable property will be charged to operations using the unit-of-production method based on estimated proven and probable recoverable reserves. The net costs related to abandoned properties are charged to operations.

Exploration costs are charged to operations as incurred until such time that proven reserves are discovered. From that time forward, the Company will capitalize all costs to the extent that future cash flow from mineral reserves equals or exceeds the costs deferred. Exploration activities conducted jointly with others are reflected at the Company's proportionate interest in such activities.

The Company reviews the carrying values of its mineral properties on a regular basis by reference to the project economics including the timing of the exploration and/or development work, the work programs and the exploration results experienced by the Company and others. The review of the carrying value of any producing property will be made by reference to the estimated future operating results and net cash flows. When the carrying value of a property exceeds its estimated net recoverable amount, provision is made for the decline in value. The deferred costs will be amortized over the recoverable reserves when a property reaches commercial production. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company did not have proven reserves.

The recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral properties is dependent on the confirmation of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company’s interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to successfully complete their development and the attainment of future profitable operations or proceeds from disposition.

(f)
Mineral Properties and Exploration Expenses (continued)

Estimated costs related to site restoration programs during the commercial development stage of the property are accrued over the life of the project.

 
(g)
Share-Based Payment

The Company accounts for share-based payments under the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation consistent with GAAP.

Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.

 
(h)
Interest Expense

Interest expense was approximately $68,825 in 2009 (2008 - $0) respectively.

 
(i)
Foreign Currency Translations and Transactions

The Company's reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar.  Dostyk LLP is a foreign operation and its functional currency is the Kazakhstan Tenge (Tenge). Certain contractual obligations in these consolidated financial statements are stated in Kazakhstan Tenges. The Kazakhstan Tenge to U.S. dollar exchange rate at December 31, 2009 was U.S. $0.00682 to 1 Tenge.

The Company translates foreign assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries, other than those denominated in U.S. dollars, at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. Income and Expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange throughout the year. Gains or losses from these translations are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) until all or a part of the investment in the subsidiaries is sold or liquidated. The translation adjustments do not recognize the effect of income tax because the Company expects to reinvest the amounts indefinitely in operations.

Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the local functional currency are included in interest, bank charges, and foreign exchange loss in the consolidated statements of operations and were not material in 2009 or 2008 or in the cumulative period ending December 31, 2009.

 
(j)
Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions in Canada. The Company did not have funds deposited in banks beyond the insured limits as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.

 
(k)
Long-Lived Assets Impairment

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, in accordance with GAAP.  An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition.

Significant Accounting Policies   (continued)

 
(k)
Long-Lived Assets Impairment (continued)

The amount of the impairment loss to be recorded is calculated by the excess of the asset's carrying value over its fair value.  Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. During the year ended December 31, 2009, management determined that the mineral properties were impaired and capitalized costs of $1,009,597 were written off. See Note 4.

 
(l)
Comprehensive income

The Company has adopted, Reporting Comprehensive Income, which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. The Company is disclosing this information on its Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity (Deficiency). Comprehensive income comprises equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Risks

Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments.  As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair value.

The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, accounts payable – related parties and deposits approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Available for sale securities are recorded at the current market value.

Management is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

The Company operates outside of the United States of America (primarily in Kazakhstan) and is exposed to foreign currency risk due to the fluctuation between the currency in which the Company operates in and the U.S. dollar.

Significant Accounting Policies   (continued)

 
(n)
Income Taxes

The Company has adopted ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the Company to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns using the liability method.  Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the differences between the financial statement carry amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an interpretation which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP.  This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in a tax return.  It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

Recognition criterion to a tax position is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  The adoption of this interpretation did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.  As such, the Company has not recorded any liabilities for uncertain tax positions or any related interest and penalties.  The Company’s tax returns are open to audit for the years ending December 31, 2006 to 2009.

 
(o)
Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year including common stock issued effective the date committed. Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the sum of (a) the basic weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and (b) additional shares that would have been issued and potentially dilutive securities and is equivalent to basic loss per share for 2009 and 2008 because potentially dilutive securities were anti-dilutive due to the net losses incurred in each year. The Company has no potentially dilutive securities outstanding for 2009 or 2008.

 
(p)
New Accounting Pronouncements

The Company considers the effects of new accounting pronouncements on the accounting, presentation and disclosure of its consolidated financial statements as such pronouncements become known. At present, there are no such pronouncements that the Company expects will have a material impact on these consolidated financial statements.

On August 30, 2004, the Company signed a Joint Activity Agreement with OOO Science Industrial Corporation Geosphera ("Geosphera"), a company registered in Russia, to form a partnership to explore the Haldeevskaya license located in the Tomsk district of the Tomsk region of the Russian Federation, 25 km east of the city of Tomsk.  Geosphera will earn a 51% interest in the partnership by contributing the license for the Haldeevskaya area and the geological data.  The license and the geological data have been valued at $52,000.  The terms of the agreement provided that the Company was to earn a 49% interest in the partnership by paying $50,000.  However, the Company increased its interest in the partnership to 80% (Geosphera - 20%) by funding $350,000 of exploration expenditures on the licensed property in 2004. Geosphera is the manager of the project.

Pursuant to the terms of the Joint Activity Agreement, and for the purpose of conducting further financing and exploration work, a company, HaldeyGold Ltd. (“HaldeyGold”), was registered with the Ministry of the Russian Federation for Taxes and Levies on January 19, 2005. The Haldeevskaya mineral exploration license along with all relevant geological data was transferred by the partnership to HaldeyGold on March 16, 2005. The Company has an 80% (Geosphera 20%) interest in HaldeyGold.

On April 22, 2005, December 31, 2005, July 7, 2006 and December 29, 2006 the Company and Geosphera agreed to amend the Haldeevskaya Joint Activity Agreement dated August 30, 2004 resulting in a revision of the 2006 exploration expenditure commitment from $460,000 to $289,743 and the 2005 exploration expenditure commitment from $300,000 to $250,000. The Company also agreed to fund $400,000 toward the 2007 HaldeyGold exploration budget. No funds were spent on the HaldeyGold project in 2007 and 2008.

Dostyk LLP - Maykubensk area in the Pavodar Oblast of the Republic of Kazakhstan

In January 2007, the Company entered in an agreement with Eureka Mining PLC, a company registered in the United Kingdom, to acquire an ownership interest in the Dostyk Limited Liability Partnership, (the “Partnership” or "Dostyk"). The Partnership holds the exploration rights to explore 14,000 square kilometers in the Maykubensk area in the Pavodar Oblast of the Republic of Kazakhstan for precious and base metals.

Under the terms of the agreement with Eureka Mining PLC, the Company acquired a 51% interest in the Partnership by paying $300,000 (paid January 25, 2007) into the capital of the Partnership. The acquisition was accounted for using purchase accounting. As a result of the purchase, the Company acquired control of Dostyk and consolidated the financial results of Dostyk, including consideration of a non-controlling interest. In June 2007, the Company increased its ownership in the Partnership from 51% to 71% by contributing a further $700,000 (paid June 13, 2007) to the Partnership’s capital. On September 14, 2007, the Company increased its ownership interest in the Partnership from 71% to 90% by contributing a further $1,000,000 to the Partnership’s capital.

As of that date, the Company owned 100% of Dostyk.

The 2008 acquisition of the remaining 10% interest in Dostyk was accounted for using the purchase method. The aggregate allocation of purchase price to mineral properties was $2,509,597.

During December 2009, subject to shareholder approval, the Company agreed to sell its ownership interest in its Kazakhstan subsidiary to a third party for $1,500,000 and other consideration.  The total value of the potential consideration to be received has not been determined.  The only significant asset owned by the subsidiary is the mineral exploration license described in these financial statements.  The agreement for the sale of the subsidiary for less than the $2,509,597 carrying value of the subsidiaries’ mineral property is an indication that the value of the mineral property has been impaired and capitalized costs of $1,009,597 were written off.

Item 9.  
Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

There have been no disagreements with our Accountants concerning accounting or financial disclosure.

Controls and Procedures

Attached as exhibits to this Annual Report on Form 10-K are certifications of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), which are required pursuant to Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act. This “Controls and Procedures” section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K includes information concerning the controls and controls evaluation referenced in the certifications. This section of the Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read in conjunction with the certifications for a more complete understanding of the matters presented.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

We evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, being, December 31, 2009. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC. Disclosure controls are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 

Based on the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)), have concluded that, subject to the inherent limitations noted below, as of December 31, 2009 our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the existence of several material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as discussed below.

Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting

The Company’s Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our management evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009.

Based on its evaluation under the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2009, due to the existence of material weaknesses, as described in greater detail below.  A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 
30


This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. 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 their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These 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. Additional controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. 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, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Material Weaknesses Identified

In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2009, certain significant deficiencies in internal control became evident to management that represent material weaknesses, including,
(i)
Lack of a sufficient number of independent directors for our board and audit committee.  We currently do not have an independent director on our board, which is comprised of 2 directors, and on our audit committee, which is comprised of 2 directors. As a publicly-traded company, we should strive to have a majority of our board of directors be independent.
(ii)
Lack of an independent financial expert on our audit committee. Our board of directors has determined that it does not have a member of its audit committee that qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 401(e) of Regulation S-B, and is "independent" as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We believe that the members of our board of directors are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.  In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated any material revenues to date.
(iii)
Insufficient segregation of duties in our finance and accounting functions due to limited personnel.  During the period ended December 31, 2009, we had one person on staff at our executive office and two persons at our Kazakhstan office that performed nearly all aspects of our financial reporting process, including, but not limited to, access to the underlying accounting records and systems, the ability to post and record journal entries and responsibility for the preparation of the financial statements.  This creates certain incompatible duties and a lack of review over the financial reporting process that would likely result in a failure to detect errors in spreadsheets, calculations, or assumptions used to compile the financial statements and related disclosures as filed with the SEC.  These control deficiencies could result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

 
31


(iv)
There is a lack of sufficient supervision and review by our corporate management of the accounting functions performed at the Company’s foreign subsidiary in Kazakhstan.
(v)
Insufficient corporate governance policies.  Although we have a code of ethics which provides broad guidelines for corporate governance, our corporate governance activities and processes are not always formally documented.  Specifically, decisions made by the board to be carried out by management should be documented and communicated on a timely basis to reduce the likelihood of any misunderstandings regarding key decisions affecting our operations and management.

Plan for Remediation of Material Weaknesses

We intend to take appropriate and reasonable steps to make the necessary improvements to remediate these deficiencies. We intend to consider the results of our remediation efforts and related testing as part of our year-end 2009 assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

We have implemented certain remediation measures and are in the process of designing and implementing additional remediation measures for the material weaknesses. Such remediation activities include the following:
We continue to recruit one or more additional independent board members to join our board of directors.  We continue to recruit at least one additional financial expert to join as an independent board member and as an audit committee member.
In addition to the foregoing remediation efforts, we will continue to update the documentation of our internal control processes, including formal risk assessment of our financial reporting processes.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended December 31, 2009 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financing reporting.

Other Information

None.

Consideration of Director Nominees
 
Director Qualifications

We believe that our Board, to the extent that our limited resources permit, should encompass a diverse range of talent, skill and expertise sufficient to provide sound and prudent guidance with respect to the Company's operations and interests. Each director also is expected to: exhibit high standards of integrity, commitment and independence of thought and judgment; use his or her skills and experiences to provide independent oversight to our business; participate in a constructive and collegial manner; be willing to devote sufficient time to carrying out their duties and responsibilities effectively; devote the time and effort necessary to learn our business; and, represent the long-term interests of all shareholders.

 
33


The Board has determined that the Board of Directors as a whole must have the right diversity, mix of characteristics and skills for the optimal functioning of the Board in its oversight of our affairs. The Board believes it should be comprised of persons with skills in areas such as: finance; real estate; banking; strategic planning; human resources and diversity; leadership of business organizations; and legal matters. The Board may also consider in its assessment of the Board's diversity, in its broadest sense, reflecting, but not limited to, age, geography, gender and ethnicity.

In addition to the targeted skill areas, the Board looks for a strong record of achievement in key knowledge areas that it believes are critical for directors to add value to the Board, including:

 
§
Strategy—knowledge of our business model, the formulation of corporate strategies, knowledge of key competitors and markets;

 
§
Leadership—skills in coaching and working with senior executives and the ability to assist the Chief Executive Officer;

 
§
Organizational Issues—understanding of strategy implementation, change management processes, group effectiveness and organizational design;

 
§
Relationships—understanding how to interact with investors, accountants, attorneys, management companies, analysts, and communities in which we operate;

 
§
Functional—understanding of finance matters, financial statements and auditing procedures, technical expertise, legal issues, information technology and marketing; and

 
§
Ethics—the ability to identify and raise key ethical issues concerning our activities and those of senior management as they affect the business community and society.
 
Nomination Procedures    We have no nominating committee, and all nominating functions are handled directly by the full Board of Directors, which the Board believes is the most effective and efficient approach, based on the size of the Board and our current and anticipated operations and needs. As outlined above in selecting a qualified nominee, the Board considers such factors as it deems appropriate which may include: the current composition of the Board; the range of talents of the nominee that would best complement those already represented on the Board; the extent to which the nominee would diversify the Board; the nominee's standards of integrity, commitment and independence of thought and judgment; and the need for specialized expertise.

The Board and Board Meetings

Our Board of directors consists of two members. Directors serve for a term of one year and stand for election at our annual meeting of stockholders. Pursuant to our Bylaws, any vacancy occurring in the Board of directors, including a vacancy created by an increase in the number of directors, may be filled by the stockholders or by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors though less than a quorum of the Board of directors. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office only until the next election of directors by the stockholders. If there are no remaining directors, the vacancy shall be filled by the stockholders.
 
At a meeting of stockholders, any director or the entire Board of directors may be removed, with or without cause, provided the notice of the meeting states that one of the purposes of the meeting is the removal of the director. A director may be removed only if the number of votes cast to remove him exceeds the number of votes cast against removal.

 
34


Our Board of Directors and management are committed to responsible corporate governance to ensure that the Company is managed for the long-term benefit of its shareholders. To that end, the Board of Directors and management periodically review and update, as appropriate, our corporate governance policies and practices. In doing so, the Board and management review published guidelines and recommendations of institutional shareholder organizations and current best practices of similarly situated public companies. The Board of Directors and management also regularly evaluate and, when appropriate, will revise our corporate governance policies and practices in accordance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and listing standards issued by the SEC.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Board held a total of five (5) meetings.  All members of the Board attended all meetings of the Board.

Legal Proceedings
 
During the past ten years none of our directors, executive officers, promoters or control persons has been:
 
 
o
the subject of any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;

 
o

35


 
o

o
found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law;

 
o
the subject of any Federal or State judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of:

 
·
Any Federal or State securities or commodities law or regulation; or

 
·
Any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order; or

 
·
Any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity.

o
any disciplinary sanctions or orders imposed by a stock, commodities or derivatives exchange or other self-regulatory organization.

Code of Ethics
 
We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all of our officers, directors and employees, including its Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer, which complies with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and applicable Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) listing standards. Accordingly, the Code of Ethics is designed to deter wrongdoing, and to promote, among other things, honest and ethical conduct, full, timely, accurate and clear public disclosures, compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Ethics, and accountability.
 
Corporate Governance
 
We have adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines applicable to its Board of Directors.

Director Independence
 
Our securities are not listed on a U.S. securities exchange and, therefore, we are not subject to the corporate governance requirements of any such exchange, including those related to the independence of directors. However, at this time, after considering all of the relevant facts and circumstances, our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Mueller is not independent from our management and does not qualify as “independent director” under the standards of independence under the applicable FINRA listing standards.  This means that, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, none of those directors (1) is one of our officers or employees or an officer or employee of one of our subsidiaries or (2) has any direct or indirect relationship with us that would interfere with the exercise of his independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.  Upon our listing on any national securities exchange or any inter-dealer quotation system, it will elect such independent directors as is necessary under the rules of any such securities exchange.

 
36


Certain Relationships

There are no family relationships among or between any of our officers and directors.
 
Our proposed business raises potential conflicts of interests between certain of our officers and directors and us. Certain of our directors are directors of other mineral resource companies and, to the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which we may participate, our directors may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms regarding the extent of such participation.  In the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of our directors, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms.  In appropriate cases, we will establish a special committee of independent directors to review a matter in which several directors, or management, may have a conflict.  From time to time, several companies may participate in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties thereby allowing for their participation in larger programs, involvement in a greater number of programs and reduction of the financial exposure with respect to any one program.  It may also occur that a particular company will assign all or a portion of its interest in a particular program to another of these companies due to the financial position of the company making the assignment.
 
In determining whether we will participate in a particular program and the interest therein to be acquired by it, the directors will primarily consider the potential benefits to us, the degree of risk to which we may be exposed and its financial position at that time.  Other than as indicated, we have no other procedures or mechanisms to deal with conflicts of interest.  We are not aware of the existence of any conflict of interest as described herein.
 
Compensation of Directors

Our Board of Directors determines the non-employee directors’ compensation for serving on the Board and its committees. In establishing director compensation, the Board is guided by the following goals:

Compensation should consist of a combination of cash and equity awards that are designed to fairly pay the directors for work required for a company of our size and scope;

·
Compensation should align the directors’ interests with the long-term interests of stockholders; and

·
Compensation should assist with attracting and retaining qualified directors.
 
We do not pay director compensation to directors who are also employees. All non-employee directors are paid a director’s fee in the amount of $2,500 per quarter. Directors are entitled to participate in, and have been issued options under, our 2006 Stock Plan. We also reimburse directors for any actual expenses incurred to attend meetings of the Board.
 
During fiscal years 2009 and 2008 we paid no fees to our non employee directors. The transactions were recorded at the exchange amount, being the value established and agreed to by the related parties.

 
37


Standard Arrangements

We do not pay a fee to our outside, non-officer directors. We reimburse our directors for reasonable expenses incurred by them in attending meetings of the Board of Directors. During the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, we paid non-officer directors $0, $0 and $0, respectively, in consulting fees.
 
Corporate Governance Principles / Code of Ethics
 
Effective in 2004, our board of directors adopted Corporate Governance Principles / Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to, among other persons, all Officers, Directors, Employees and consultants of the company and its affiliates
 
Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires, among other things, that all of our executive officers commit to timely, accurate and consistent disclosure of information; that they maintain confidential information; and that they act with honesty and integrity.

Executive Compensation

The responsibility for establishing, administering and interpreting our policies governing the compensation and benefits for our executive officers lies with our Board of Directors. In this connection the Board has not retained the services of any compensation consultants.
 
The goals of our executive compensation program are to attract, motivate and retain individuals with the skills and qualities necessary to support and develop our business within the framework of our small size and available resources. In 2009, we designed our executive compensation program to achieve the following objectives:
 
 
§
attract and retain executives experienced in the resource exploration industry;
 
§
motivate and reward executives whose experience and skills are necessary to our ultimate success;
 
§
reward performance as warranted; and
 
§
align the interests of our executive officers and stockholders by motivating executive officers to increase stockholder value.

None of our officers or directors is a party to an employment agreement with us.  Our entire Board of Directors sets the current year compensation levels of each of the above named Executive Officers.  Effective January 1, 2009, Mr. Gomez de Segura’s annual salary is $60,000 payable in monthly instalments of approximately $5,000. Effective January 1, 2009, Mr. Mueller’s annual salary is $120,000 payable in monthly instalments of approximately $10,000.
 
Options/SAR Grants Table
 
In 2006, our Board of Directors approved the 2006 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) to offer an incentive to obtain services of key employees, directors and consultants of the Company.  The Plan provides for the reservation for awards of an aggregate of 20% of the total shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding from time to time. No Plan participant may receive stock options exercisable for more than 5% of the issues and outstanding common shares in any one calendar year.  Under the Plan, the exercise price of an incentive stock option must be at least equal to 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.  The term of stock options granted under the Plan is not to exceed five years and the stock options vest immediately upon granting.
 
We awarded no stock purchase options, or any other rights, to any of our directors or officers during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.
 
On December 1, 2006, 900,000 stock options were granted to directors at $0.88 per share. The term of these options was two years. The options were exercisable at any time from the grant date up to and including the 30th day of November 2008.

Changes in Control

There were no arrangements during the last completed fiscal year or subsequent period to September 13, 2010 which would result in a change in control. We do not believe that the offer and sale by us of an aggregate of 14,000,000 shares between January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2009 have resulted in a change of control.

No securities were authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans.

Item 13.  
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence

Certain Relationships

Our proposed business raises potential conflicts of interests between certain of our officers and directors and us. Certain of our directors are directors of other mineral resource companies and, to the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which we may participate, our directors may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms regarding the extent of such participation.  In the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of our directors, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms.  In appropriate cases, we will establish a special committee of independent directors to review a matter in which several directors, or management, may have a conflict.  From time to time, several companies may participate in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties thereby allowing for their participation in larger programs, involvement in a greater number of programs and reduction of the financial exposure with respect to any one program.  It may also occur that a particular company will assign all or a portion of its interest in a particular program to another of these companies due to the financial position of the company making the assignment.
 
In determining whether we will participate in a particular program and the interest therein to be acquired by it, the directors will primarily consider the potential benefits to us, the degree of risk to which we may be exposed and its financial position at that time.  Other than as indicated, we have no other procedures or mechanisms to deal with conflicts of interest.  We are not aware of the existence of any conflict of interest as described herein.
 
Director Independence
 
Our Board of Directors currently consists of two members on its board.  We consider a director to be “independent” if that person serves only as a member of our board of directors and is not otherwise employed by our company as an employee, officer or consultant.  Mr. Agustin Gomez de Segura serves as our company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.  Mr. Waldemar Mueller serves as our company’s Vice-President. As of December 31, 2009 and September 13, 2010, our Board of Directors did not have an independent director.
 
Transactions with Related Persons
 
Other than as disclosed below, during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, none of our current directors, officers or principal shareholders, nor any family member of the foregoing, nor, to the best of our information and belief, any of our former directors, senior officers or principal shareholders, nor any family member of such former directors, officers or principal shareholders, has or had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction, or in any proposed transaction which has materially affected or will materially affect us.

There have been no transactions or proposed transactions with officers and directors during the last two years to which we are a party except as follows:
 
In July 2009, 3,900,000 common shares were authorized for issuance at $0.30 per share for cash proceeds of $1,170,000.  The shares were issued to individuals and companies who reside outside the United States of America (in accordance with the exemption from registration requirements afforded by Regulation S as promulgated thereunder). Mr. Agustin Gomez de Segura, an officer and director, purchased 425,000 shares in the private placement on the same terms and conditions as all the other purchasers in the offering.

In October 2008, 1,600,000 common shares were authorized for issuance at $0.25 per share for cash proceeds of $400,000.  The shares were issued to individuals and companies who reside outside the United States of America (in accordance with the exemption from registration requirements afforded by Regulation S as promulgated thereunder). Mr. Agustin Gomez de Segura, an officer and director, purchased 265,000 shares in the private placement on the same terms and conditions as all the other purchasers in the offering.

In January 2008, 300,000 common shares were issued at $0.38 per share in payment of a finder’s fee.  The shares were issued to Waldemar Mueller, a director who resides outside the United States of America (in accordance with the exemption from registration requirements afforded by Regulation S as promulgated thereunder).
 
During the fiscal year 2009, consulting fees of $180,000 (2008 – $242,013) were paid to our directors. The transactions were recorded at the exchange amount, being the value established and agreed to by the related parties
