Item 3.02         Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On April 29, 2011, we issued bridge notes in the aggregate principal amount of $520,000 to a group of accredited investors.  The proceeds of the bridge notes were used primarily to provide a letter of credit for our Hunza mining project in Colombia.  The investors will receive a fee equal to 12% of the principal amount of the bridge notes in return for providing the funding.  In the event that any of the funds are drawn under the letter of credit, the investors will receive an additional fee of 13% of the amounts drawn.

The bridge notes are due on the earlier of October 29, 2011 or our completion of a financing which provides at least $5.0 million of proceeds.  In the event that we default in the repayment of the bridge notes, the holders will be entitled (in addition to customary creditor remedies) to convert their unpaid notes into shares of our Common Stock at the rate of $.04 per share.

As further consideration for providing this financing, the holders of the bridge notes have also received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,125,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $.08 per share.  The warrants expire at the end of three years.  The issuance and sale of the warrants was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
